Xilinx FPGA Products and Data Sheets 1985-Today

23/10/2019, hardwarebee

In 1990 and not so far from Tel Aviv, I started my first FPGA design. It was a new XC3090 FPGA from Xilinx.
 
Until then, I was using EPLDs (mostly Altera’s EP900) in several projects and was fascinated by the fact that I can replace several EPLDs with a
