Lattice Semiconductor Launches ispPAC PLDs

Lattice Semiconductor Corp. (Hillsboro, OR) announced the launch of a new family of ispPAC® mixed-signal, programmable logic devices (PLDs) for power management, which features in-system programmable analog and logic blocks, and provides optimized power supply management functions critical to the operation of multiple power supply electronic systems.

The first device in the ispPAC family, the ispPAC-POWR1208, integrates industry-leading ispMACH® CPLD and ispPAC® programmable analog technologies. The ispPAC-POWR1208 is suitable for all types of electronic equipment, including telecom and networking systems, storage systems, servers, test equipment, and automotive electronics. The ispPAC-POWR1208 device features 12 precision analog threshold comparators with on-chip voltage references for supply monitoring, four noise-immune digital inputs and four open-drain digital outputs for system control interfacing, four programmable (both maximum voltage and ramp rate) high-voltage FET drivers for supply control, and four programmable timers with an on-chip 250kHz oscillator for delay control. The device has been ruggedized to operate in noisy power supply environments from 2.25V to 5.5V and is packaged in a 44-pin, thin-quad flat pack (TQFP) package.

Pricing for the ispPAC-POWR1208 device starts at <$10.00 in 10,000-piece quantities. Samples of the ispPAC-POWR1208 in a 44-pin TQFP package with an industrial temperature grade of -40°C to +85°C are available immediately. The ordering part number is ispPAC-POWR1208-01T44I.
