Accelerate Your Time to Market with Low Cost Lattice Automotive Zero-Power CPLDs
Lattice expands its commitment to the automotive marketplace with the release of the AEC-Q100 qualified LA-ispMACH 4000Z automotive product family.
Automotive versions of Lattice's ispMACH 4000Z CPLD devices have been characterized and qualified to meet the certification requirements of the AEC-Q100 standard as defined by the Automotive Electronics Council (AEC). Designated the LA-ispMACH4000Z series, this family is the third release in the expanding line of programmable Lattice Automotive, or LA, devices joining the LA-ispMACH 4000V and LA-MachXO families released in 2006. Lattice can provide standard Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) documentation to automotive customers.
Further emphasizing its focus on the automotive market, Lattice joined the AEC Technical Committee as an associate member and recently completed its ISO/TS-16949 certification (refer to article this issue).
The AEC-Q100 is defined by the AEC as a "Stress Test for Qualification for Integrated Circuits." The AEC-Q100 standard also includes customer specific requirements (CSR). ISO/TS-16949 is an international standards Automotive Quality Systems technical specification. Electronic system suppliers to the automotive market increasingly require that semiconductor suppliers be qualified for both AEC-Q100 and ISO/TS-16949 certification for their products.
The LA-ispMACH 4000Z CPLD automotive family offers low power and excellent performance and includes three devices with densities ranging from 32 to 128 macrocells and user I/Os ranging from 30 to 96. The LA-ispMACH 4000Z CPLDs are a flexible, low cost alternative to ASICs in automotive design.

| tPD (ns) | 7.5 | 7.5 | 7.5 |
| tCO (ns) | 4.5 | 4.5 | 4.5 |
| tS (ns) | 4.5 | 4.5 | 4.5 |
| fMAX (MHz) | 168 | 168 | 168 |
| VCC (V) | 1.8 | 1.8 | 1.8 |
| Standby Current at 1.8V (uA) | 55 | 55 | 55 |
| Packages | 48 TQFP | 48 TQFP / 100 TQFP | 100 TQFP |
Prices for the LA-ispMACH 4032Z devices begin at $0.95 in 100,000 piece quantities. These automotive grade devices are available now for orders in popular lead-free (Pb-free) TQFP packages.
The LA-ispMACH 4000Z devices are supported by the Lattice ispLEVER design software. Programming support is handled by Lattice's ispVM System software, which is downloadable from the Design Software page of the Lattice website.
Data sheets, technical notes and related literature for the LA-MachXO, LA-ispMACH 4000V and LA-ispMACH 4000Z device families can be found on the Lattice Automotive Devices page of the Lattice website.
