What is an FPGA? Intro for Beginners 

this might be the clearest video about FPGA introduction I've ever found, thank you

Very clear, straightforward, and you managed to explain why FPGA is so important. Thank you very much!

8 years later, I am watching your video. Thanks a lot. You explains it so well

Thanks man, I have programmed only in high level (C/C++) and this whole world is new to me. Great explanation and it left very clear what is the motivation for using these devices today.

You explained this topic so easily, loved how you got all excited while saying FPGA are fun

Thanks for a great introduction ... Really helped me to understand what FPGA is ..

u sir have got me started with FPGA and m not gonna stop. Thanks a lot :)

@ <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="253">4:13</a> "nand gates, which I have a particular affinity for" hahahaha made me laugh out loud NandLand I love you

I stumbled upon this video because I was interested in a company called Analogue. What they do is make high end retro clone consoles. Like the NES snes Sega Genesis, ect. They use fpgas to make consoles that are the closest 1 to 1 experience with modern tv outputs available, but the cost are high as well. Being a total noob, I was curious as to why, and you do a good job in explaining what fpgas do, so thank you

BEST explanation ever! thank you!!

took 5 minutes to understand fpga with your video while the others on youtube only made it harder to understand by using technical terms that i'm not familiar with. Thanks!

Very useful and clear explanation of the subject. I look forward to learning more from your videos, thanks.

Hey, I'm 39 & Sadly, I really don't know how to program😢 But, I Just wanted to say that This video is truly exceptional & helped me understand something I never thought I could grasp. I look forward to watching all your other videos! Over the last 5yrs or so Ive been tinkering w/ & some basic stuff like DIY drones, MCU &, Raspberry pi stuff etc... Even though a lot of stuff is way over my head, I Just really enjoy trying to absorb any & all tech knowledge & over time I pick up on bits & pieces (on a conceptual basis). Thanks again!

Thank you, for someone who knows nothing about programming that helped a lot. Now my question is how does someone become an FPGA programmer ?!

Thanks for the clarity of explanation! Well done.

Great and didactic explanation for non-technical people. Appreciate it!!

Amazing! You’ve explained everything so clearly. Thanks a lot!

I like the way that you explain basic about an FPGA.

Thanks for the video. I have a suggestion for you, whenever you want to explain something that may be a repetition and not directly related to the topic of the video, you could put a pop-up on the screen informing the viewer from which minute you will be go back to the main topic. Cheers

Thanks! Oh I'm making more videos! You just wait... Muahhahahahaha!

hey i am an indian student of iit . i think you are a great teacher. you teach everything very clearly . you must be a professor . great job keep it up . best of luck :)

Very nice and neat beginner intro to FPGA

Better presentation than Mr.X,PhD with lots of degrees.Keep going man!

ቀሪው ዘመንህ ይባረክ ! meaning , may each of Your remaining years b blessed richly ! thank you , you hv a gift to make complex things clear and understandable

Just ordered the Go board and thinking to learn it from your videos and website

Just fantastic! Thank you, it helped a lot!

Still trying to grasp why the hell we passed so much time without ever heard about that. I’m on the IT industry and never heard about anything like that. That’s great

man..i am SO stoked !! 'cause just yesterday i got this book that had VHDL and had NO idea what it was,,,and tonight i just happened on toy channel and boy what a FIND. !! a fricking GOLD Mine..i subscribed and gave u a like...and boy I AM HOOKED...+ you are an AWESOME instructor and believe me for me THAT is WAY important...thank YOY. SO much !! from a veey happy subscriber. whadaway to start The New Year WOOOO-HOOOOOO

Excellent Introduction of FPGA. Thanks

Nice, I appreciate you taking the time to explain this.

Great introduction. Easy to understand and follow. Good Job nandland.

Many Thanks for this video. It's so difficalt to find FPGA videos in Thai language.

new here.. simple explanation..subscribed and following/learning. Thank you

Simple and perfect explanation! Thank you

thanks a lot for providing complete and clear information.

very clear and concise explanation. Super helpful. Thanks

Excellent introductory video for FPGA's, thanks! :)

Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Thank you for the video. It's really helpful.

Still a helpful video. When introducing EE topics to people who will never use them clear, simple but accurate history is critical. Thank you.

Thank you nice explanation, great work easy and simple!

very informative, didn't knwo what an FPGA was before this. Or Verilog and VDHL.

It is very helpful. Great video. Thanks!

Liked and subscribed. Do upload videos on verilog and VHDL tutorial. Thanks

Boy, I like your channel. Subscribed.

You really explain things well. Thank you!

YOU'RE ABSOULTLY GREAT LOVE YOU

A good introduction... Thanks.

Thank you!!

Very clear and well made explanation.

Certainly, when you showed 3 gates in an old chip I'm surprised you didn't put any NAND in there; that's more important because of the added inversion and what could we really accomplish with no inversion

Great Video! Engineer in India.......Learning Digital Design

very interesting, now there are a lot of attention towards this technology because of videogames, FPGA emulates games much better than a software emulation...your explanation was very clear, thank you!

thanks to give me idea to start my research on fpga

Good that you take up that you do things in parallel, that is a corner stone. You actualy write a decription how to connect logic rather then describe a sequens.

Nice explained for very beginners. Thanks man!

Great video. learned a lot with this hot teacher

thank you so much....explanation was soo good..

Thanks! Great explanation.

At first I was thinking that FPGAs were the flash version of processors and their instructions. But now I guess that doesn't make sense, because when you think back to how flash stores things, it can only store charges in cells that represent 0s and 1s; but not the tools that those 0s and 1s _go through_ for processing. So then it makes sense that you could not assemble the cells of data in a basic flash storage to become the tools that those bits go through. Right? But then that gives rise to the question: What adjustable type of semiconductor-based material _are_ the gates or/and the paths between them made of, as compared to the cells in flash storage?

very helpful video, eagerly looking for more

good introduction about FPGA for beginner!

Poli saanum🔥🔥

thank you. its so helpful

Great description!

On a very basic level, what do they actually do? Can you give us an analogy, something that a guy off the street or your grandmother can understand? Thanks

Thank you .

Thanks a lot,I understand thanks to you 🙏🏼

Nobody: NandLand: Good Question

We have a Small NAND Gate Circuit from the early 80's and we could use a little help in understanding it. You up for it?

Thank you for great content!

I love your videos :) thank you

Great job

I’m a blonde w zero tech/quant background - and that was pretty damn clear, thanks 🙏

nice work man keep it up

thanks! Very good tutorial for beginners)

Just wow...thnks man

Very informative video, thank you!!

Nice work, man!

simple explanation

Great introduction, thx.

I love your videos!

well said,thank you...

good job sir fully educational .

Really interesting vid, subscribed

great, needed this! thanks

thanks! :)

Beautiful Dear :) Keep it up !

Also...tq for explaining with application

How a word or a digit 123..Etc or a name converted into electrical signals , how electrons carry it.

thank you SO MUCH!

Your way of teaching is awesome. Thank you soooooo much. This video really helped for my examination. Keep making videos like this. On VLSI circuit design and implimentation.

This was awesome thanks man

what's a Bill Gate ? lmao :p love the video, i learned a lot! :p

Thanks a lot for your good work sir. I gotta guestion that what kind of fpga board do you suggest for high frequency trading for beginners?

great video

thanks, my university taught me verilog vhdl but where to implement it you taught me...

Great video! Keep moving!

Great video!

Great for beginners
