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.
BvR selected the Lattice ispXPLD device for its DVI to DVI/LVDS extender system, based on its internal RAM, CPLD-based structure and pricing.
"The Lattice XPLD was an affordable design solution and easy to implement within the system", said Markus Krautbauer of BvR.
"The design tools and XPLD architecture allowed us to easily meet our timing and schedule requirements".

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.
"We were impressed by the XPLD's RAM capabilities, which we used for video direct data buffering".
"The Lattice part provided us with ample resources for managing back channels for our digital video link".
"The Lattice ispXPLD 5000 was the initial third generation wide-logic PLD with embedded RAM", said Stan Kopec, Lattice Vice President of Marketing.
"PLDs continue to be very attractive devices for leading-edge companies like BvR that need fast time to market, excellent performance and programmability".
"Lattice has diversified its product line with the addition of FPGAs, FPSCs, programmable mixed signal devices, clock generators and high-speed serdes".
"Nonetheless, leadership in CPLDs, and our more recent XPLDs, remains a key Lattice strength and is a source of great value for our customers".
The ispXPLD 5000MX family represents a new class of devices from Lattice Semiconductor called expanded programmable logic devices (XPLDs).
These devices are built around a new building block, the multifunction block (MFB).
These blocks can be individually configured as superwide (136-input) logic, single- or dual-port memory, FIFO or CAM, depending on the user's application.
This unparalleled PLD flexibility is combined with sysI/O interfaces for support of leading edge standards such as LVDS, HSTL and SSTL, along with the more familiar LVCMOS standards.
sysClock PLLs allow easy clock management.
ispXPLD 5000MX devices provide expanded in-system programming referred to as ispXP technology, which makes them both non-volatile and infinitely reconfigurable.
They can be programmed through an industry standard IEEE1532 interface or reconfigured through the Lattice sysConfig microprocessor interface.
Devices are available to support 3.3, 2.5 and 1.8V power supply operation.
