A field-programmable gate array (FPGA) is an integrated circuit designed to be configured by the customer or designer after manufacturing—hence "field-programmable". The FPGA configuration is generally specified using a hardware description language (HDL), similar to that used for an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) (circuit diagrams were previously used to specify the configuration, as they were for ASICs, but this is increasingly rare).

Xilinx Implementation phases
Implementation includes many phases
1.Translate: Merge multiple design files into a single netlist.
2. Map: Group logical symbols from the netlist (gates) into physical components (slices and IOBs).
3. Place & Route: Place components onto the chip.

Brief Intro to Xilinx FPGAs
All Xilinx FPGAs contain some basic resources
1.Slices (grouped into Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs))
2. Contain combinatorial logic and register resources
3. IOBs
4. Interface between the FPGA and the outside world
5. Programmable interconnect
6. Other resources
7. Memory
8. Multipliers
9. Processors
10. Clock management
