Lattice Semiconductor and Synplicity extended their agreement for Lattice to OEM Synplify synthesis tools, which support all Lattice digital programmable-logic devices. The new deal means Synplify will continue to be included in the Lattice ispLEVER design tool suite and the new, non-volatile LatticeXP devices.
The LatticeXP devices use a combination of SRAM and flash technology to provide a non-volatile, in-system reconfigurable FPGA family that offers a single-chip, secure solution for logic integration.
Dialog Semiconductor has launched a universal LED controller that provides programmability of up to 18 LEDs for the control of lightshows, backlights, and signal LEDs in cellular handsets, handheld games, and other portable devices requiring varying light sequences.
