The term field-programmable gate array[edit]
The history section doesn't mention who actually came up with the term Field-programmable gate array or who used it first. --217.149.171.189 (talk) 04:10, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
- Highly improbable you will ever find a citable source for that. If anything the term likely arose out of groups of individuals and teams all working on the concept. I cannot find anything supporting the idea that one singular person, team, or entity came up with the term. --skarz (talk) 17:00, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
- I believe the FPGA was invented at Zilog and popularized at Xilinx (The History, Status, and Future of FPGAs | October 2020 | Communications of the ACM.) Its possible that it was named at either company. I agree with --skarz that you won't likely find a single person that named it but this information could at least be included Igrokugrok (talk) 14:15, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
