Lattice Semiconductor Announces Manufacturing Software Support for Revolutionary ispPAC Device Family; New Library Facilitates Manufacturing Automation.


Business Editors, High-Tech Writers

HILLSBORO, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 29, 2001

Lattice Semiconductor Lattice Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: LSCC) is a United States based manufacturer of high-performance programmable logic devices (FPGAs, CPLDs, & SPLDs). The Oregon based company is the number four ranked company in world market share for FPGA devices,[1]  Corporation (Nasdaq:LSCC LSCC Lake-Sumter Community College (Florida)

), the worlds largest supplier of in-system programmable Refers to programmable logic chips (PLDs) that are programmed after they are attached to the circuit board. Also called "in-circuit programmable," devices that use static RAM (SRAM) are in-system programmable by nature because they are loaded at startup. See PLD.  devices, today announced manufacturing software The following list of software modules are the manufacturing components of Baan's ERP (BaanERP) system, acquired by SSA Global in 2003 and subsequently by Infor at the end of 2006. It is listed here because it provides a comprehensive overview of the required software. See MES.  support for its revolutionary in-system Programmable Analog Circuit analog circuit, electronic circuit that operates with currents and voltages that vary continuously with time and have no abrupt transitions between levels. Generally speaking, analog circuits are contrasted with digital circuits, which function as though currents or  (ispPAC(R)) family of devices.

This support is provided in PAC-Designer(R) software version 1.3 which contains new and upgraded utilities that enable automatic circuit generation from user specifications such as gain, lowpass filter corner frequency, and order of filter. In addition, PAC Designer version 1.3 also supports the newly announced ispPAC30 device -- the world's first in-system programmable and dynamically reconfigurable analog front-end IC. PAC-Designer software is the popular software tool for designing, simulating, and programming Programmable Analog Circuits from Lattice Semiconductor Corporation.

The new PAC-Designer Software Development Kit (PDSDK) library helps users to automate the manufacturing of their boards containing analog circuits. In many cases the manufacturing of these boards involves a technician who has to manually adjust or calibrate To adjust or bring into balance. Scanners, CRTs and similar peripherals may require periodic adjustment. Unlike digital devices, the electronic components within these analog devices may change from their original specification. See color calibration and tweak.  analog circuits to compensate for component tolerances. Lattice's ispPAC chips and manufacturing automation software developed using PDSDK can eliminate or minimize manual intervention.

"Programmable circuits offer superior flexibility on the manufacturing line," said Andy Robin, VP of New Venture Business for Lattice. "Now our customers can use software to tune their analog circuits board by board right on the manufacturing line. The new utilities built into PAC-Designer further enhance the fast, easy and flexible way to do analog design."

Availability

PAC-Designer Version 1.3 is available for download from the Lattice website at www.latticesemi.com free of charge. Users can also get a free non-time-limited license at the same location.
