    "abstract": "Recent generations of Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) have become\nindispensible tools for complex state machine control and signal processing,\nand now routinely incorporate CPU cores to allow execution of user software\ncode. At the same time, their exceptional performance permits low-power\nimplementation of functionality previously the exclusive domain of dedicated\nanalog electronics. Specific examples presented here use FPGAs as\ndiscriminator, time-to-digital (TDC) and analog-to-digital converter (ADC). All\nthree cases are examples of instrumentation for current or future astroparticle\nexperiments.",
