Lattice Semiconductor Delivers 3.5ns Generic Digital Crosspoint (ispGDX) Devices
HILLSBORO, OR - JUNE 19, 2000 - Lattice Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: LSCC) today announced the new In-System Programmable (ISPTM) ispGDXVATM family with higher performance, larger I/O options, a 3.3-V core, and individually programmable 3.3-V or 2.5-V output voltage options. The first device available today, the ispGDX160VA, is being released in both commercial and industrial grades. As with all ispGDX devices, this family is optimized for digital signal interface and routing applications, and represents a new class of high-density programmable components distinct from complex programmable logic devices (CPLDs) and field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). "At 3.5ns Tpd, the ispGDX160VA is significantly faster than previous devices and can integrate multiple discrete interface logic devices into a single chip," said Steve Stark, Lattice's Director of Component Marketing. "Now available in both commercial and industrial grades with programmable 3.3-V or 2.5-V output options, the ispGDXVA family supports the most demanding next-generation system designs." The first member of the 3.3-Volt ispGDXVA family available is the ispGDX160VA, with an architecture that features 160 programmable I/O cells interconnected by a Global Routing Pool (GRP). The ispGDX160VA delivers input-to-output signal delays (Tpd) of 3.5ns, clock-to-output delays (Tgco) of 3.5ns, and pipelined operating frequencies (Fmax) of 250MHz. It offers a programmable MUX width for MUX chaining and allows up to 16:1 fast signal multiplexing. Other features include a bus hold latch, clock enable, and additional slew rate options. An industrial version is also supported in each package type and is dual marked with both commercial and industrial grades. The ispGDX160VA is offered in the 208-pin PQFP (plastic quad flat pack), 272-ball BGA and the advanced 208-ball fine pitch BGA packages. Software Support Pricing and Availability About Lattice Semiconductor Oregon-based Lattice Semiconductor Corporation designs, develops and markets the broadest range of high-performance ISPTM programmable logic devices (PLDs) and offers total solutions for today's advanced logic designs. Lattice introduced in-system programmability to the logic industry in 1992. In June 1999, Lattice acquired Vantis, the corporation that invented the PAL� device and PLD switch matrix architecture, from AMD. With nearly double the R&D and sales resources, the resulting integrated company will focus on delivering logic products that satisfy the performance, density and ease-of-use requirements of its customers. Lattice products are sold worldwide through an extensive network of independent sales representatives and distributors, primarily to OEM customers in the fields of communications, computing, computer peripherals, instrumentation, industrial controls and military systems.
