Lattice Semiconductor Programmable Analog IC Wins Best-of-Show Award at Sensors Expo

  • Unique Single-Chip Analog IC is In-System ProgrammableTM

Winner - Sensors Expo

ANAHEIM, CA - MAY 22, 2000 - Lattice Semiconductor (NASDAQ: LSCC) today announced that a member of itsispPAC� family of Programmable Analog Circuit monolithic ICs, the ispPAC80 in-system programmable continuous-time fifth-order filter, was named Best-of-Show at the Sensors Expo and Motion Control tradeshow in Anaheim, CA. The ispPAC80 allows users to derive tens of thousands of different fifth-order precision filters from a single compact IC in a few seconds.

The Sensors Expo award recognizes an innovative new product that will have a positive impact in the sensor industry. The editors of Sensors magazine, the leading publication in the sensors industry for over 16 years, made the award. The awards ceremony is co-sponsored by Sensors magazine and Advanstar Communications.

"We are very pleased our ispPAC80 device was recognized as one of the most innovative products at the show," said Andy Robin, VP of New Venture Business for Lattice. "We want engineers to know that the ispPAC80 product can make their jobs easier by integrating all analog components necessary to easily implement a huge range of 50 kHz - 500 kHz low-pass filters. And the search engine built into the PAC-Designer� software allows an engineer to quickly find the desired filter characteristics, see the resulting simulation, and download the design into the chip. If changes are desired, the chip can be reprogrammed instantly."
