Infinitely reconfigurable FPGAs are
instantly on

The ispXPGA (in-system programmable expanded programmable gate array) family combines on-chip E2 memory with SRAM cells in a nonvolatile architecture that allows infinite reconfiguration.

Lattice Semiconductor has developed the industry's first in-system-programmable and dynamically reconfigurable instant-on FPGA family The ispXPGA (in-system programmable expanded programmable gate array) family combines on-chip E2 memory with SRAM cells in a nonvolatile architecture that allows infinite reconfiguration

This unique marriage of technologies is named ispXP, for expanded programmability.

As the ispXP devices in the ispXPGA family self-configure in microseconds at power-up ("instant on"), they are available to an electronic system during its power-up sequence.

The products are highly secure, as well, as on-chip E2 memory means no external bit stream is exposed during configuration, and security bits can inhibit FPGA pattern readback.
