I'm taking an FPGA class right now and as a project, I'm working on an  
application that's now done with discrete logic.  The logic needs to  
measure pulses with 10ns resolution.  You can't do that with a micro  
so its being done in a combination of hardware and the micro.  Putting  
the timer on FPGA makes sense.  With a micro core in the FPGA, you  
could do it all on one part.
