Plug-in-&-go USB iCEstick FPGA evaluation kit from Lattice
Lattice Semiconductor has introducedan easy-to-use USB thumb drive form factor development board, theiCEstick Evaluation Kit. The new Lattice FPGA evaluation kit allows engineers and system architects to rapidly evaluate and develop mobile solutions based on the Lattice’s iCE40 mobileFPGA family, the world’s first and only FPGAs built to address the mobile devices market.
Synopsys and Lattice extend FPGA synthesis agreement
Synopsys and Lattice Semiconductor reveal a multi-year extension of their OEM agreement for Synopsys' Synplify FPGA synthesis tools optimized for Lattice FPGAs and Complex Programmable Logic Devices. Under this continued agreement, Synopsys remains the exclusive independent provider of FPGA logic synthesis technology for designers targeting Lattice FPGA and CPLD products.
Redefining the midrange?
Broadly speaking, FPGAs are designed for either ‘high-performance’ applications or ‘everything else’ and as a result most FPGA vendors compete in the ‘everything else’ category. ES Design Magazine Editor, Philip Ling takes a look behind the latest announcements to see if we can expect a redistribution of wealth.
Rochester Electronics' Product Re-Introduction Through Their Extension-of-Life Program
As Altera’s authorized partner for EOL products, Rochester is the only company officially licensed to manufacture the entire family of Classic EPLD products. Rochester's Extension-of-Life solutions bring the Classics like EP610,EP910 & EP1810 products back to life.
Diodes Incorporated Adds Shift Registers and Decoders to Enhanced CMOS Logic Families
Diodes Incorporated is pleased to announce today the addition of standard shift register and decoder logic ICs to its enhanced 74HC, 74HCT, 74AHC and 74AHCT CMOS logic families. The 8-bit shift register with 8-bit storage register (with and without tri-state outputs) and 3-to-8 line decoder are direct drop-in replacements for industry-standard logic devices, and are available in a choice of SO-16 and TSSOP-16 packages.
