fpga等效门（FPGA equivalent gates） There are two kinds of calculation methods of general FPGA equivalent door number, one is the basic unit of FPGA (LUT+FF, ESB/BRAM) and realize the same function of standard gate gate number array contained in is the basic unit of the equivalent gate FPGA number, and the number of times the basic unit can be FPGA door number the estimated value is two; respectively with FPGA and standard gate arrays to achieve the same functionality, from the statistics of the equivalent gate count of FPGA, this method is more dependent on the empirical data. For the first method, including FPGA LUT/FF/RAM and other resources, analysis of various resources equivalent door number, the general principle is the principle of equivalent, is to achieve the same function, need in the standard in a gate array gate number is FPGA the resources equivalent door number, such as the realization of a 4 XOR input with output in the FPGA register, the need to achieve with a LUT and 1 FF, in general to achieve standard gate array with 21 NAND gate, so the 1 LUT1 FF equivalent to 21 doors. For ESB (BRAM), ESB usually takes 4 gates due to the use of standard gate arrays to implement 1bits RAM. Therefore, when SB/BARM is used as a RAM, 1bit is equivalent to 4 gates. For 2048bit FPGA in Altera, the equivalent gate number is 8K. These data alone can not accurately calculate the equivalent gate number of FPGA. Because this is just a simple situation, the actual situation is much more complicated. For example, if implemented with 2 input registers XOR, FPGA will use 1 LUTFF, while the standard array requires only 8 NAND, and 1 LUT+1 FF only equivalent to 8 doors. At the same time, the number of gates required for the implementation of specific functions in different standard gate arrays is different, so the calculation of equivalent gates can only be a numerical value. That is to say, the gate number estimation of a specific model FPGA is closely related to the use of FPGA re
