FPGA Manufacturers

The internet sources claim that there are at least five companies in the world that involved with the manufacturing and fabrication of FPGAs. These companies are:

1. Xilinx
2. Altera
3. Lattice
4. Actel
5. SiliconBlue

Among these companies Xilinx is the biggest name, as it invented the FPGAs in 1984 and may be deemed as global technology leader in the field of FPGAs.However, Altera is not a small name either. Statistics available on internet reflect that both Xilinx and Altera hold the major FPGA market share. As compared with the first two companies Lattice, Actel and SiliconBlue are small players.
