Lattice Semiconductor has launched the MachX02 family of programmable logic devices (PLDs). The devices are manufactured using a low power 65nm process and Lattice is claiming big increases in logic density, embedded memory, a more than 100 times reduction in static power and cost up to 30% lower than its MachX0 PLD family. There are three options in the family. The ZE devices range from 256 to 7k look up tables (LUTs), operate off a nominal 1.2V power supply and support system performance up to 60MHz. With power specified down 19uW and packages of 2.5mm X 2.5mm, the devices are targeted at the cost-sensitive, low power consumer design applications. For control applications in end markets like telecommunications infrastructure, computing, industrial and medical equipment Lattice has the MachX02 HC devices. These range from 256 to 7k LUTs, operate off a nominal 3.3V or 2.5V power supply and support system performance up to 150MHz. The MachX02 HE devices range from 2k to 7k LUTs, operate off a nominal 1.2V power supply and support system performance up to 150MHz. User Flash Memory, I2C, SPI and timer-counter functions have been hardened into the devices.
