  • System comprising field programmable gate array and intelligent memory
    Patent number: 5760607
    Abstract: A memory device controls the flow of data from the memory device to a configurable logic device. This is in contrast to circuits in which a configurable logic device generates a clock signal that controls the flow of data from a memory device to a configurable logic device. In one embodiment, the configurable logic device is a field programmable gate array ("FPGA"). The memory device can provide the configuration data on a serial output lead or a parallel data bus.
