Interesting new "FPGA" chip

I've just discovered the Silego Greenpak parts which are tiny mixed signal programmable devices at pocket money prices with (at least for the GreenPak 3 part) full disclosure of the programming register in the NDA-free data sheet.

Need to get on with some work now so try the link for more.

(I shall be buying some bits v. soon.)

Thank you for posting. It's marvelous that a vendor has finally seen the wisdom of public documents for programming their chips. Unfortunately, the parts are one-time programmable (unless I'm reading the description wrong) and pretty small -- so far.

Yes, very small and quite limited compared with "real" FPGAs but could be very nice as glue logic replacement. Good for teaching about logic design using the free graphical tool - we all get spoilt when we have 10ks of LUTs and VHDL.

I'm hoping they progress to bigger and in-ciruit reconfigurable parts.
