                  As indicated previously, the architectures of FPGAs can be very complex and, in fact, are
                  generally regarded as being at the high end in complexity of the programmable gate ar-
                  ray (PGA) spectrum. The ACT-1 family of FPGAs (from Actel Corp.) discussed in this
