The devices use look-up tables (LUTs) and embedded block memories traditionally associated with FPGAs for flex-
ible and efficient logic implementation. Through non-volatile technology, the devices provide the single-chip, high-
security, instant-on capabilities traditionally associated with CPLDs. Finally, advanced process technology and
careful design will provide the high pin-to-pin performance also associated with CPLDs.
The ispLEVER
®
design tools from Lattice allow complex designs to be efficiently implemented using the MachXO
family of devices. Popular logic synthesis tools provide synthesis library support for MachXO. The ispLEVER tools
use the synthesis tool output along with the constraints from its floor planning tools to place and route the design in
the MachXO device. The ispLEVER tool extracts the timing from the routing and back-annotates it into the design
for timing verification.
