Silicon wafer fabrication facility. Also called a fab. High density PLD containing small logic cells interconnected through a distributed array of programmable switches. This type of architecture produces statistically varying results in performance and functional capacity, but offers high register counts. Family of low density devices invented by Lattice Semiconductor.
More gates equates to higher density.
Each GLB contains inputs and outputs along with the logic required to implement most logic functions. Lattice GRPs provide fast, predictable speeds with complete connectivity. Pioneered by Lattice, Lattice ISP products can be programmed and reprogrammed right on the system board. The code can be integrated into a customer's system, allowing ISP devices to be programmed directly via an on-board microprocessor or microcontroller. Lattice Semiconductor proprietary device download package that provides capability to program multiple devices simultaneously on a board.
