Lattice Announces Extensive IP Portfolio For New 90Nm Flash LatticeXP2 FPGA Family

Early Availability of IP Enables Rapid Adoption of the LatticeXP2 Family

HILLSBORO, OR - June 27, 2007 - Lattice Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: LSCC) today announced the immediate availability of 45 ispLeverCORE™ Intellectual Property (IP) and third-party vendor IP cores for its new 90 nanometer embedded FLASH LatticeXP2™ FPGA family. Lattice and its ispLeverCORE Connection partners – CAST, ANAGRAM Technologies, DCD, Eureka Technology and WDC -- have already ported a wide range of cores addressing automotive, communications, consumer, embedded, instrumentation, video and wireless applications to the LatticeXP2 architecture.

"Our goal is to provide 'More of the Best' IP solutions for every device family at product introduction. Our new 90nm LatticeXP2 family provides a third generation non-volatile FPGA platform for Lattice and its IP partners so we can deliver even more value-added solutions to our mutual customers," said Stan Kopec, corporate vice president of marketing. "The wide range of third-party cores available builds on the unique value of the LatticeXP2 devices and creates tremendous mutual opportunities for Lattice and our partners."

IP Partners Praise the LatticeXP2 FPGA Family

"The exciting new LatticeXP2 devices are like our cores - lean and efficient, yet packed with functionality and ready to work right away," said Hal Barbour, president of CAST. "We're pleased to offer the first configurable 8051 core for the LatticeXP2 family, and are rapidly porting many of our 100+ cores to the new technology."

"Once again Lattice is at the leading edge of the on-going trend toward reconfigurable, fully integrated architectures that offer attractive benefits in terms of power consumption, cost, and time-to-market," said Tim Llewellyn, vice president of sales and marketing for ANAGRAM Technologies. "By adding DSP capabilities to the LatticeXP2 devices, customers can now benefit from our SoftAMP Class D PWM Amplifier and SoftDAC 24bit Audio DAC IP running on the industry's most integrated reprogrammable devices."

"We have developed hundreds of IP cores across different platforms. Migrating our IP to the LatticeXP2 devices was one of the easiest transitions we have experienced," said Simon Lau, president of Eureka Technology Inc. "We were able to achieve maximum performance with minimal effort. All of Eureka's IP cores support the LatticeXP2 FPGA family."

"We are very excited to have an opportunity to work with the new LatticeXP2 technology and have already been working with customers using DCD's IP cores inside these chips," said Tomek Krzyzak, vice president of IP development at DCD. "The most popular of DCD's products in Lattice's ispLeverCORE Connection program have already been ported to the LatticeXP2 devices with great success."

"Our LatticeXP2 implementation of the 65xxx microprocessor IP provides a flexible, instant-on emulation of our ASIC hard cores. Users can use this for prototyping, or stay with the low-cost LatticeXP2 devices into production," said David Gray of Western Design Center. "The legendary flexibility of the 65xxx secures a wide breadth of applications not available with other 8-bit cost effective processor families. The LatticeXP2 devices showcase this."

About Lattice ispLeverCORE IP Modules

Lattice's ispLeverCORE modules are optimized for use with Lattice devices. The modules are large, modular design blocks, commonly known as intellectual property (IP) cores, which can be reused and easily placed within a programmable logic design. ispLeverCORE IP cores are configured for specific customer applications via the IPexpress module included within the ispLEVER tool. The IPexpress flow allows customers to parameterize IP on their desktop, incorporate the IP within their designs and evaluate the resulting design within their hardware before committing to purchase an IP license. The modules are designed using the highest coding standards and are extensively tested to meet the required functionality and performance. These cores are ready-to-use, well documented and supported by Lattice field and factory engineers.
