I am not sure whether you are serious or trolling but I will bite ;-)

FPGA are being used in many type of applications where real-time is necessary and non-recurrent engineering (NRE) cost need to be minimized, for example here [1].

One classic example is that if you poke under the hood of any signal generator like AWGs, you will probably find an FPGA inside. As you probably aware since you in hardware business, AWGs are probably one of most common equipment in any electronic and electrical labs or companies.

For those who are not familiar, AWG stands for Arbitrary Waveform Generator.


Would that be used as part of a synthesizer?
