Field-programmable gate array quiz: 3 questions
Three questions on the Field-programmable gate array card, the way WikiCards duels ask them. Pick an answer, the facts are just below.
Find the missing word
FPGAs are a ______ of logic devices referred to as programmable logic devices.
Answer
subset. FPGAs are a subset of logic devices referred to as programmable logic devices. From the Field-programmable gate array article on Wikipedia.
Which of these cards hits hardest (highest ATK)?
Answer
Artillery. Artillery 88 · Moment of inertia 84 · Field-programmable gate array 78 · Irène Joliot-Curie 75 ATK in WikiCards.
In a duel, each round asks a question like these about the opposing card, with 15 seconds to answer.
The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- FPGAs are a subset of logic devices referred to as programmable logic devices.
- They consist of a grid-connected array of programmable logic blocks that can be configured "in the field" to interconnect with other logic blocks to perform various digital functions.
- FPGAs are often used in limited quantity production of custom-made products, and in research and development, where the higher cost of individual FPGAs is not as important and where creating and manufacturing a custom circuit would not be feasible.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Field-programmable gate array article was read about 240,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 78 and blocks with 83: each hit it takes is cut by 33 %.
How to get Field-programmable gate array
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
