Advantages of Micros
•Flexible to program and change • Available off the shelf as processor, board, or with interface chips• You can choose from 100s of types of Micros to suit the application• Easy to bring out a product in a short time•Power consumption is medium• Custom board can be designed after developing the product using generic boards.

Micros-- Disadvantages
If you change the requirement or processor, new board is needed.
Micro may contain more features than needed or may not have needed features.
Cost depends on the volume.
To increase performance, you need to increase the memory or change the processor etc.

ASIC--- Advantage
Lowest per unit cost for high volume
Can optimize power consumption, speed, performance, size, etc
Initial development cost prevents others entering this market.

ASIC– Disadvantage
Initial Cost is high and increases every year
High Labor cost to design, test, modify etc
Development is challenging
Complex
Becomes obsolete soon since technology or requirement changes.

FPGA-- Advantages
You can reconfigure the design
True parallelism
High speed
Costs less than ASIC for medium volume
Once this product works satisfactorily, you can make ASIC later.
A number of FPGA devices available to suit the applications.
Development tools cost is nominal.

FPGA disadvantage
Internal Memory is limited
Analog interface is challenging
Power consumption is more
Difficult to program compared to Micro
Cost is more than micro cost
Not Suitable for small volume product
Learning to use or design Complex FPGA is more challenging

Future of FPGA in Embedded System
Price of Complex FPGAs with 32-bit soft microprocessor core are now falling and will be close to microprocessor system price in 5 years.
Altera, Xilinx have a number of devices for Embedded system market at different price ranges.
FPGA represent the logical extension in the Hard to Soft migration of system functionality.
Soft design methods, tools are growing.
Processors, peripheral devices, logic, software can all be changed in FPGA system even after manufacture.

FPGA Design needs System Approach
FPGA is a configurable platform.
You can move some functions to hardware or to software easily in FPGA for optimal performance. Example: Add more features to the mobile phone FPGA core.
Schematic based FPGA development. Example: Matlab, Labivew provide FPGA support
