ahh...FPGA is Field Programmable Gate Array, you basically download softcores to them, so you could make the chip flash leds, or by the same token download a processor core to it and associated digital perpiherals - often used to test stuff before committing to ASIC (Although FPGA's run a lot slower than asics)...fpgas are quite cool technology.
