Lattice Semiconductor has announced version 1.3 of its ispLEVER Classic design tool suite which includes updated support for its CPLDs, including the ispMACH 4000 device family.
The ispLEVER Classic 1.3 software also includes updated ordering part number designations for GAL 22V10 lead free QFNS package devices.
There is also design support for discontinued Lattice devices as the software now includes the "Obsolete Pack," which enables additional device support within the design tools.
To enable the pack, users can check the "Show Obsolete Devices" option within the new Project Wizard feature of the Project Navigator application.
Designers can download, for free, ispLEVER Classic for Windows, as well as optional Synopsys Synplify logic synthesis and Aldec Active-HDL simulator modules.
In addition to the tool support for Lattice devices provided by the downloadable versions of Synopsys Synplify for Lattice and Active-HDL Lattice Web Edition, Lattice devices are also supported by the full versions of Synopsys Synplify and Aldec Active-HDL.
