World's fastest and smallest claims for
PLD
New from Lattice Semiconductor is the ispGAL22V10A family of ultra-high-performance in-system-programmable simple PLDs.
New from Lattice Semiconductor is the 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, 2.3ns pin-to-pin delays and low standby power (less than 300mW) while supporting I/O standards of 3.3, 2.5 and 1.8V

Lattice Semiconductor has announced the completion of the production release of its second-generation SuperFAST BFW (Big-Fast-Wide) family, the ispLSI 2000VE family.
Analogue front end is dynamically reconfigurable
Lattice Semiconductor has added a new member to its ispPAC programmable analogue device family.
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 (5 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 1.8V in-system programmable SPLD.
The ispGAL22V10A family is also offered in 2.5 and 3.3V power supply versions, designated as the ispGAL22V10AB and ispGAL22V10AV, respectively.

Bigger CPLDs come onstream
Lattice Semiconductor has announced the immediate availability of the first device in its ispMACH 5000VG SuperBIG CPLD family, the 1024-macrocell ispMACH 51024VG.
The ispGAL22V10A family provides enhanced I/O support including LVCMOS 3.3, 2.5 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 5V 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.
In the 32-pin QFN package, the ispGAL22V10A provides 2.3ns pin-to-pin delay, 2.0ns clock-to-output delay, 1.3ns set-up time and 455MHz operating frequencies.
Lattice's previous generation of 3.3V GAL22LV10s were, until now, the fastest low voltage 22V10s in the market at 4ns pin-to-pin delay.
The new ispGAL22V10A family at 2.3ns is 43% faster than the earlier GAL22LV10 and 77% faster than available competitive devices.
The ispGAL22V10A family is offered in a new space-saving 32-pin QFN package, a technology based on chip scale packaging.
The 32-pin QFN is 84% smaller (5 x 5mm), 80% thinner (0.9mm) and 95% lighter (0.06g) than the 28-pinPLCC package.
The ispGAL22V10A family is supported by Lattice's new software platform ispLever Version 3.0 Service Pack 2003.01.
Programming support will be through Lattice's ispVM version 13.0 software, which is downloadable from the Lattice website.
The ispGAL22V10A family of devices is available now in the 28-pin PLCC package as well as the space saving 32-pin QFN package.
Pricing, in high volumes of 50,000 pieces or more, will be less than $1.00.
