HILLSBORO, OR--(Marketwire - Dec 13, 2011) - Lattice Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: [ LSCC ]) today announced that all members of its award-winning MachXO2™ family of PLDs (Programmable Logic Devices) have been fully qualified and released to volume production. Recently named a 2011 "Hot 100" product by EDN magazine, the MachXO2 [ PLD ] family consists of nine devices in 29 device/package combinations to satisfy a broad range of customer requirements.

"We are very pleased to have reached this production release milestone for the entire MachXO2 family," said Shakeel Peera, Lattice Director of Marketing for Silicon & Solutions. "On-time delivery is one of Lattice's cornerstone commitments to our customers and we're proud to have accomplished the rollout of the MachXO2 family on schedule. Now that all MachXO2 family members are available in production quantities, we will be able to meet customer demand in high volume."

With the new $29.99 MachXO2 Breakout Board Evaluation Kit, engineers can easily evaluate and adopt MachXO2 PLD technology in a MachXO2-1200ZE device with 1280 look up tables of logic, 108 I/O with support for LVDS and DDR interfaces, and hardened implementations of I2C, SPI and timer/counter. Customers are able to install, connect and verify operating hardware with a pre-programmed test design in under three minutes, leading to further evaluation with their own designs
