Lattice ispLEVER-Starter Design Tools Now Support All LatticeEC FPGA Devices-Upgraded Design Tools Available for HILLSBORO, OR - MAY 16, 2005 - Lattice Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: LSCC) today announced that its upgraded ispLEVER®-Starter 5.0 design tools can now be downloaded from the Lattice website. ispLEVER-Starter 5.0 is offered free of charge in order to encourage easy evaluation of Lattice's recently announced ispLEVER 5.0 programmable logic design tool suite. ispLEVER-Starter 5.0 uses the same interface and design flow as ispLEVER 5.0, and can be used to take a design from concept to device programming. Like previous ispLEVER-Starter design tools, ispLEVER-Starter 5.0 supports all Lattice ispXPGA® FPGAs, CPLDs, ispGDX® and SPLD devices. The PC-based ispLEVER-Starter 5.0 tools also now include design support for all low cost LatticeEC" FPGAs as well as the LatticeECP-DSP6" device. This expanded design support gives users unprecedented access to Lattice's newest low cost FPGAs. "The LatticeEC family, with 7 family members ranging in density from 1.5K to 33K LUTs, is being used in designs around the world," said Stan Kopec, Lattice vice president of corporate marketing. "With design support for the entire product line so accessible, every design engineer worldwide will be able to evaluate our technology and its advantages first-hand." ispLEVER 5.0-Starter Features Many features and performance enhancements have been added with the release of ispLEVER 5.0-Starter, including:
A full list of ispLEVER 5.0 features and enhancements can be seen at: Availability and pricing The ispLEVER 5.0-Starter design tools are available now at no charge and can be downloaded from www.latticesemi.com/starter About the LatticeECP-DSP and LatticeEC FPGA Families The LatticeECP-DSP" and LatticeEC FPGA device families are architected to provide the most optimized feature sets combined with the lowest total solution costs of any FPGAs. The new LatticeECP-DSP products, targeted for high-performance DSP applications, provide up to a 50% performance and 75% logic utilization improvement over other low cost solutions when implementing common DSP functions. The LatticeEC FPGA product family, targeted for general-purpose FPGA applications, is a precise and targeted response to the market's explosive demand for low cost, architecturally streamlined logic solutions. Through advanced 130nm silicon technology, an optimized architecture and proprietary circuit design, the new Lattice devices lower total solution costs by up to 30% to 50% compared with existing FPGA solutions, and are expected to broaden the adoption of FPGAs within the $20 billion ASIC marketplace.
