Lattice Releases World's Fastest and Smallest PLD- Industry's First Low Power, 1.8-volt ISP™ Simple PLD - HILLSBORO, OR ý February 10, 2003 - Lattice Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: LSCC) today announced the immediate availability of its ispGAL22V10A family of ultra-high performance, in-system programmable (ISP) simple PLDs (SPLDs). The ispGAL22V10A family of devices couples industry-leading performance of up to 455MHz operating frequencies (fMAX), 2.3ns pin-to-pin delays (tPD) and low standby power (<300mW) while supporting I/O standards of 3.3, 2.5 and 1.8 volts. The ispGAL22V10A family is offered in a new 32-pin QFN (Quad Flat-pack No-lead) package along with a traditional 28-pin plastic leaded chip carrier (PLCC) version. The 32-pin QFN is 84% smaller (5mm x 5mm) than traditional PLCC packaging, making it ideal for high-density PCBs used in small-scale consumer and portable electronic applications such as cellular phones, pagers and PDAs. The ispGAL22V10AC is the industry's first 1.8-volt in-system programmable SPLD. The ispGAL22V10A family is also offered in 2.5 and 3.3-volt power supply versions, designated as the ispGAL22V10AB and ispGAL22V10AV, respectively. The ispGAL22V10A family provides enhanced I/O support including LVCMOS 3.3V, 2.5V and 1.8V. For devices in the QFN package, output voltage is independent of core supply voltage through the use of a separate Vcco connection. The I/Os on the ispGAL22V10A family are 5-volt tolerant and can be "hot socketed" to facilitate connection to legacy chips and interfaces. "With our E2CMOS low-power cell and advanced CMOS design techniques, the ispGAL22V10A family offers the highest performance, while simultaneously delivering low standby power," said Steve Stark, Lattice Semiconductor's director of product marketing.
