HILLSBORO, OR ļ€­ DECEMBER 19, 2006 - Lattice Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: LSCC) today announced the availability of intellectual property (IP) cores for a high definition audio digital to analog converter, the SoftDACā„¢, and a digital amplifier, the SoftAMPā„¢, from ANAGRAM Technologies, a new member of the ispLeverCOREā„¢ Connection IP partners program. Through the program, Lattice and ANAGRAM will provide complete system solutions for their mutual customers who are integrating system-level IP with the most advanced FPGA silicon architectures. The Lattice Connection program allows customers to easily access and integrate approved third-party IP products into Lattice programmable devices. ā€œOur low-cost, high performance LatticeECPā„¢, LatticeECP2ā„¢ and LatticeECP2Mā„¢ FPGA families, which embody our ā€˜More of the Bestā€™ value proposition, continue to gain traction rapidly in the consumer market. Many consumer products, such as DVD players, LCD TVs and PC speakers require high definition audio quality,ā€ said Stan Kopec, Lattice corporate vice president of marketing. ā€œANAGRAM is a recognized industry leader in digital audio IP, and the cores that we are jointly announcing allow designers to build complete high quality audio systems embedded in Lattice ā€˜EConomy-Plusā€™ FPGAs.ā€

ā€œWe are very excited to release our dedicated digital audio IP cores through the ispLeverCORE program. Combining our high performance audio solutions with Latticeā€™s industry-leading FPGA devices allows us to meet challenging customer demands by delivering a rich audio experience and cost effective FPGA integration,ā€ said Tim Llewellynn, ANAGRAMā€™s vice president of sales and marketing. IP Cores from ANAGRAM Technologies

ANAGRAM Technologies has ported, optimized and tested two of its most popular IP cores, the SoftAMP and the SoftDAC, to Lattice FPGA devices. The SoftAMP is a configurable 2- to 8-channel fully digital audio amplifier core that is compliant with industry standard digital power stages and will be available with I2S, AMBAā„¢, APBā„¢ and WISHBONE interfaces. The SoftDAC is a 24-bit, 2-channel audio D/A converter core that requires minimal external analog circuitry. Both cores support input sampling frequencies from 8kHz to 192kHz. Full product information for both cores is available on the Lattice website, http://www.latticesemi.com/products/intellectualproperty/anagramcores

Pricing and Availability

These cores are available now in netlist format for immediate purchase from ANAGRAM. Customers should contact ANAGRAM for pricing. ANAGRAM also offers a variety of additional packaging and licensing options to suit specific customer needs. By leveraging partner IP products, customers can quickly implement a wide variety of functions in Lattice programmable devices.
