The article discusses the effectiveness of field-programmable gate array system-on-chip (SoC) devices in improving the performance of embedded-system design It states that the embedded-system design requires changes and innovation due to rapid growth of new standards and protocols as well as increasing pressure to speed time to market. It indicates that the latest FPGA SoC devices can execute what used to require a complete circuit card that contains several chips.

The article focuses on how system-on-chip field-programmable gate arrays (SoC FPGAs) enhance the performance and flexibility of inner control loops in next-generation motor-control systems. SoC FPGAs combine the capabilities of general-purpose processors and high-performance logic in a single device for specialized algorithms. Their use in real-time applications, such as motor control, allow for integration and the ability to scale performance.
