Description
The Lattice Semiconductor ispGDS™ family is an ideal solution
for reconfiguring system signal routing or replacing DIP switches
used for feature selection. With today’s demands for customer
ease of use, there is a need for hardware which is easily
reconfigured electronically without dismantling the system. The
ispGDS devices address this challenge by replacing conventional
switches with a software configurable solution. Since each I/O pin
can be set to an independent logic level, the ispGDS devices can
replace most DIP switch functions with about half the pin count,
and without the need for additional pull-up resistors. In addition
to DIP switch replacement, the ispGDS devices are useful as
signal routing cross-matrix switches. This is the only non-volatile
device on the market which can provide this flexibility.
With a maximum tpd of 7.5ns, and a typical active Icc of only 25
mA, these devices provide maximum performance at very low
power levels. The ispGDS devices may be programmed in-sys-
tem, using 5 volt only signals, through a simple 4-wire program-
ming interface. The ispGDS devices are manufactured using
Lattice Semiconductor’s advanced non-volatile E
2
CMOS process
which combines CMOS with Electrically Erasable (E
2
) floating gate
technology. High speed erase times (<100ms) allow the devices
to be reprogrammed quickly and efficiently.
Each I/O macrocell can be configured as an input, an inverting
or non-inverting output, or a fixed TTL high or low output. Any
I/O pin can be driven by any other I/O pin in the opposite bank.
A single input can drive one or more outputs in the opposite bank,
allowing a signal (such as a clock) to be distributed to multiple des-
tinations on the board, under software control. The I/Os accept
and drive TTL voltage levels.
Unique test circuitry and reprogrammable cells allow complete
AC, DC, and functional testing during manufacture. As a result,
Lattice Semiconductor is able to deliver 100% field programma-
bility and functionality of all Lattice Semiconductor products. In
addition, 10,000 erase/write cycles and data retention in excess
of 20 years are specified.
