The package has a 5mm x 5mm form factor.
The MachXO2 PLDs are aimed at low density applications that require general purpose I/O expansion, interface bridging and power-up management functions.
Built-in system functions include hardened implementations of widely used I2C and SPI interfaces and a timer/counter in the Embedded Function Block (EFB), providing up to 429 Look Up Tables (LUT) of pre-designed, pre-verified functionality .
There are available over 35 reference designs and IP cores, and the MachXO2 Pico and Control Development Kits are available for prototyping. There include preloaded designs for I2C, SPI and UART interfaces.
Engineering samples of the MachXO2-256 devices in the 32 QFN package are available immediately and supported in Lattice Diamond® design software version 1.4.2. Production-qualified versions are scheduled for Q3 2012.
All other MachXO2 PLDs are fully production qualified and have been shipping since 2011.
