A field programmable gate array assembly (100, 200, 300) offers the unique
functionality typically reserved for custom ICs and application specific integrated
circuits (ASICs) with the flexibility of a programmable gate array. This is accomplished
by modifying a package for a programmable IC (102), such as a programmable
gate array, to electrically and mechanically couple to another IC (104).
The preferred electrical and mechanical coupling occurs by stacking the IC on the
programmable IC.
