While working for Zilog, Freeman wanted to create chips that acted like a blank tape, allowing users to program the technology themselves. At the time, the concept was changing. Year 11 Economics Tim Riley Pdf Converter on this page. 'The concept required lots of and, at that time, transistors were considered extremely precious—people thought that Ross's idea was pretty far out', said Xilinx Fellow Bill Carter, who when hired in 1984, as the first IC designer, was Xilinx's eighth employee. Big semiconductor manufacturers were enjoying strong profits by producing massive volumes of generic circuits.

Designing and manufacturing dozens of different circuits for specific markets offered lower profit margins and required greater manufacturing complexity. What became known as the would allow circuits produced in quantity to be tailored by individual market segments. Freeman failed to convince Zilog to invest in creating the FPGA to chase what was only a $100 million market at the time. Freeman and Barnett left Zilog and teamed up with their 60-year-old ex-colleague Bernard Vonderschmitt to raise $4.5 million in to design the first commercially viable FPGA.
