How the FPGA came to be, Part 2
Part 1 of this article series discussed the earliest programmable ICs that could be used to implement logic circuits. Not quite programmable logic, Harris Semiconductor’s programmable diode arrays and PROMs laid the groundwork for PLDs (programmable logic devices) to come. This is where we return to Napoleone Cavlan, Ronald Cline, and the story of how…
