LATTICE ANNOUNCES ULTRA-LOW PHASE NOISE, ZERO-DELAY BUFFER CLOCK FAMILY
–Provides Programmable Differential Output Buffer with Adjustable Fine Skew–

	FEBRUARY 23, 2009
	HILLSBORO, OR - FEBRUARY 23, 2009 - Lattice Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: LSCC) today announced its ispClock™5400D family of differential clock distribution ICs, featuring the CleanClock™ ultra-low phase noise PLL. The ispClock5400D family contains the six-output ispClock5406D and ten-output ispClock5410D. The FlexiClock™ output section of the ispClock5400D devices supports multiple logic standards and dual skew control features. The configuration of each device is held in on-chip non-volatile memory that is reprogrammable through a JTAG interface. Certain aspects of the device can be modified on the fly via an I2C interface. Design for the devices is supported in the Lattice PAC- Designer® software tool. The ispClock5400D family enables designers to reduce cost and complexity in their differential clock networks while providing the flexibility for late design changes, even after board assembly. Typical applications that benefit from the ispClock5400D devices include supplying high quality reference clocks to high speed serialized communication ICs that use SERDES technology, and the consolidation of components, such as fan-out buffers and zero-delay buffers, typically used for distributing high frequency clocks in a circuit board. "The ispClock5400D family offers compelling cost reduction and flexibility in differential clock networks for customers generating SERDES reference clocks for PCIe, SATA, SRIO and many other applications. The ispClock5400D family's lower cost and its ability to operate from low cost CMOS oscillators are particularly appealing to SERDES designers," said Chris Fanning, Lattice Corporate Vice President and General Manager of Low Density and Mixed Signal Solutions. "We expect many customers to adopt the ispClock5400D family as a standard clock distribution device and that this product will become a successful addition to our growing portfolio of in-system programmable mixed signal solutions."
