Web Forums Now Active on Lattice Website

Forums Developed in Response to the Growing Community of Lattice FPGA Users

HILLSBORO, OR - FEBRUARY 7, 2006 - Lattice Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: LSCC) today announced that its website, www.latticesemi.com, now provides web forums for use not only by customers but anyone interested in Lattice programmable devices, intellectual property (IP) and/or design software.

"In less than two years, Lattice has introduced five distinct FPGA product families, including low cost, high volume devices, non-volatile devices and high performance FPGAs," said Stan Kopec, Lattice corporate vice president of marketing. "Not surprisingly, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of Lattice-related postings on industry news groups and message boards. Our web forums have been designed with this growing community of Lattice users in mind. The forums are a new communications channel between users and our senior applications engineers, who will also moderate the forums. As importantly, the forums will encourage an exchange of ideas, knowledge and experience among our users. We believe the forums will contribute to an expanding online knowledge base, and enable our user community to assist itself 24x7," Kopec concluded.

The forums will allow users to ask questions and get answers both from their peers and from Lattice applications engineers on a range of topics specific to Lattice programmable devices, design tools and intellectual property. Lattice expects to post its answers to questions within one working day of receipt.
