Lattice Semiconductor has launched its new MachXO family with the immediate availability of its first two members, the MachXO256 and MachXO640.
Lattice Semiconductor has launched its new MachXO family with the immediate availability of its first two members, the MachXO256 and MachXO640.
This new class of crossover programmable logic device supports applications that traditionally have been addressed either by high density CPLDs or low capacity FPGAs, but with a more comprehensive and cost-effective architecture and technology.
Through the use of 130nm nonvolatile embedded Flash process technology, and the use of an industry-standard four-input look-up table (LUT) approach for logic implementation, these new devices provide system designers with up to 50% lower cost per logic function, yet deliver a dramatic increase in features.
