Lattice Semiconductor Corp's pLSI/ispLSI 2000 and pLSI/ispLSI 3000 series of high-speed programmable logic devices (PLD) provide an alternative to application-specific integrated circuits (ASIC) for designers who want to realize the full potential of the new generation of Pentium, PowerPC, and Alpha processors. The PLDs are available as in-system reprogrammable devices, which eliminates the need for chip sockets that can cause unreliable operation due to bent chip leads. The pLSI/ispLSI 2000 ...
