Lattice Programmable Logic Devices Win "Highest Satisfaction" Award- "FPGA Journal" Readers More Satisfied With Lattice CPLDs Than With Any Other FPGA Vendor's Devices -HILLSBORO, OR - October 11, 2004 - Lattice Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: LSCC) today announced that readers of the FPGA and Programmable Logic Journal have chosen Lattice's complex programmable logic devices (CPLDs) as those delivering the "highest satisfaction with an FPGA vendor's devices." According to Editor Kevin Morris, "The primary data came from our online surveys of completed FPGA projects. Respondents were those who had completed a real FPGA project within the past year, and answers were tabulated based on responses related to those completed projects. We asked respondents to rank the importance of a number of factors in choosing their device, and the vendors that sold them. We then asked respondents to rate how well their particular vendors and products performed in each of those categories. We multiplied the importance by the performance and averaged the responses for each vendor and product to determine the rankings." In its October 5 issue announcing the award, the FPGA Journal noted, "Lattice devices consistently and reliably deliver the features and performance that the datasheet claims, solving CPLD problems in a cost-effective, reliable manner." A Heritage of Programmability About Programmable Logic Devices PLDs are standard products that can be custom configured into a virtually unlimited number of specific logic functions by programming the device. As a result, designers can quickly create custom logic functions that provide product differentiation without sacrificing rapid time to market. PLDs are based on two alternative architectures, CPLDs and FPGAs. Each architecture is generally preferred for different types of logic functions, although many logic functions can be implemented using either architecture.
