Re: FPGATED

Question: Is an ASIC more or less programmed like an Eprom?

I found out because I post as a guest in the beginners forum, with FPGA you
can imitate
a MOS chip but the circuitry cannot interface with the older circuit.

I assume ASIC is more forgiving.

I assume ASIC may still require either VHDL or Verilog code?

IF not what are the requirements etc, tools programmers are needed etc?

I appreciate your feedback and info.

Would learning FPGA be a waste of time, it seems Xilinx these days doesnt
support 1980's
technology, but I have a  Digilent Artix7 project board, just life is too
busy right now to concentrate on simple projects with it.

Is any of your projects open source?

Thanks,

Terry Raymond
