US Patent Issued to Aril Computer on Aug. 25 for "Field-programmable gate array (FPGA) configurable cell with P and N pass gates to same bit line" (California Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Aug. 25 -- United States Patent no. 12,718,876, issued on Aug. 25, was assigned to Aril Computer Corp. (Los Altos, Calif.).

"Field-programmable gate array (FPGA) configurable cell with P and N pass gates to same bit line" was invented by Sinan Doluca (Saratoga, Calif.) and Thomas Riordan (Los Altos, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) RAM cell has cross-coupled inverters and transmission gates to bit lines. Each transmission gate has n-channel and p-channel transistors in parallel that both turn on during writing and reading in configuration mode, but remain off for mission mode when the FPGA performs the configured logic functions.
