James V. Barnett II is an American engineer and co-founder of the FPGA developer Xilinx. EducationBarnett earned a BS degree in Ceramic Engineering from the University of Illinois in 1967. His early career was spent at Fairchild Semiconductor, Raytheon Semiconductor, American Microsystems, Ness Time, and Zilog Semiconductor. Founding of XilinxBarnett co-founded Xilinx with Ross Freeman and Bernard Vonderschmitt in 1984. The three individuals had been working together at Zilog where Freeman wished to develop chips that were blank and users could programmable the logic themselves and envisioned the field-programmable gate array. Zilog executives were not interested in developing this technology, which prompted the three Zilog engineers to leave the company and pursue the concept independently. They raised $4.25 million in venture capital from Hambrecht & Quist and Kleiner Perkins Caufield and Byers, among others, to form Xilinx, Inc., in 1984.[1][2][3] LegacyBarnett was inducted into the University of Illinois College of Engineering Hall of Fame in 2012[4] References1. ^Field-Programmable Gate Arrays: Reconfigurable Logic for Rapid Prototyping and Implementation of Digital Systems by Richard C.
