Shipment of MachXO2 PLD from Lattice Semiconductor touches one million mark

Lattice Semiconductor Corporation has announced that it has shipped more than one million MachXO2 PLDs since the production release of the entire family in December 2011.

MachXO2 customers are using the devices as a design solution for applications in markets such as consumer, communications, computing, industrial and medical.

"Shipping over one million devices in so short a time proves that the MachXO2 PLD is a worthy successor to the groundbreaking MachXO family and is helping to extend Lattice's leadership in the low density PLD market," said Shakeel Peera, Lattice director of strategic marketing. "Existing and new customers continue to value the MachXO2 devices for their single-chip solution features such as instant-on and non-volatility. However, the family's unprecedented customer adoption is driven by new features such as logic density up to 6864 LUTs, up to 335 I/Os, hardened implementations of widely used I2C and SPI interfaces, a timer/counter in the Embedded Function Block and up to 256 Kbits of user Flash memory."

The MachXO2 PLD family features a broad range of densities, packages and speed grade options. MachXO2 PLDs with 256 LUTs are available for less than $0.50 in volumes of 250K units.
