• 82S100%20Fpga (deramp.com):

  #PDF of the #datasheet for #Signetics’s 82S100 and 82S101 fuse-programmable logic array. Looks like a PLD: and/or/invert matrix with 16 inputs, 48 product terms, and 8 outputs. This version of the dadashit is from 01987 with parts from 01990, but I think the chip is from the 01970s. #electronics #hardware #history
