Abstract : Rapid developments in Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) technologies have led to introducing various types of complex chips over the past years from various vendors with different programming technologies; such as Static RAM (SRAM), Anti-fuse and Flash. Hence, today's cutting-edge FPGAs are highly complex in design while being manufacture don extremely narrow geometries using advanced transistor processing technologies. As a result, this increased complexity of currently-available FPGAs calls for anup-to-date survey. This is the aim of this paper where the authors present a brief overview of these available FPGA architectures. This is achieved by following a systematic flow starting from standard FPGAs to today’s cutting-edge hybrid FPGA architectures. Also, this paper includes a brief introduction to the fundamental elements of reconfigurable logic. Underlying FPGA switch programming technologies and routing architectures are also covered. This is followed by a discussion of future FPGA trends. This paper concludes how FPGAs can dominate 5G wireless, adaptive and smart data centers and Artificial Intelligence(AI) inference by outperforming conventional techniques. Keywords - ADAS, BRAM, CLB, CPU-FPGA, DNN, DSP, Flip-Flop, FPGA, LUT, Routing Architecture, SoC FPGA, SRAM
