Lattice Announces The
Release of ispLSI 2000A Family
Introduction
Lattice Semiconductor announces the release of the
5-volt ispLSI 2000A family of high-density, In System
Programmable (ISP™) PLDs. Representing the
second generation of the popular 2000 family, the
ispLSI 2000A supports all of the current speed and
package offerings of the original ispLSI 2000 family.
Based on an advanced 0.35-Micron technology
(UltraMOS® VI), the ispL SI 2000A family is fu lly form -
, function-, and JEDEC-compatible to the original
ispLSI 2000 fami l y .
ispLSI 2000A Family Enhancements
Faster programming times: over 80% reduction (e.g. 12sec programming time on the original
ispLSI 2128 is reduced to 1.5 seconds on the ispLSI 2128A!)
The ispLSI 2000A family consists of the ispLSI 2032A, 2064A, 2096A, and 2128A with densities
ranging from 32 to 128 macrocells. All device AC and DC specifications are identical with the
corresponding earlier ispLSI 2000 specifications. Faster programming times resulting from an
enhanced programming algorithm greatly reduces manufacturing overhead costs.
Programming Support
In order to take advantage of these faster programming times, customers using ATE equipment
for device programming will need to update their programming vectors. Lattice’s ispDCD™ V8.0
(included in the ispVM™ System V8.0) supports ATE vector generation and device
programming via the Lattice download cable. Customers using 3rd party Programmers (BP,
Data I/O etc.) will need to select the ispLSI 2000A device from the device menu during
programming.
Product Availability
Production samples are available today for all four of the 2000A family devices. Production
volumes are expected in April 2000.

Software Support
The ispLSI 2000A family is supported by a broad library of design tools including V8.0 of
ispDesignEXPERT systems. Additionally, in-system programming support is provided with
V8.0 of the ispVM System .
Conversion Plans
Lattice plans to upgrade all users of the original ispLSI 2000 family to this enhanced ispLSI
2000A family as soon as possible. A product change notification (PCN) will be available from
your Lattice Sales Representative as of 2/18/2000. Plans are to complete this conversion in the
May, 2000 timeframe.
