Lattice Semiconductor presents the ispMACH 4000ZE Pico Development KitispMACH 4000ZE Pico Development Kit, it's a battery-powered, low-cost platform to accelerate the evaluation of ispMACH 4000ZE CPLDs. The kit features the ispMACH 4256ZE-MN144 device, Power Manager II ispPAC-POWR6AT6 device, a high-side current sense circuit, a 7-segment LCD display, and an expansion header landing for I2C, JTAG, and GPIO interfacing. Using the preloaded ispMACH 4000ZE Pico Power demo design provided with the development kit, you can now test within minutes an I2C master and LCD controller interfaces in addition to the embedded ispMACH 4000ZE OSCTIMER block. You can then build your own designs using the free downloadable ispMACH 4000ZE reference design source code, implementing these features in less than an hour. The board also features USB channels for JTAG programming and I2C interfacing from a host PC. A pin header landing provides access to both PIO banks of the ispMACH 4000ZE CPLD and the on-board I2C bus. The board can be controlled with a I2C utility program (PicoView) running on a host PC.

The Pico evaluation board is small but packed with features to help evaluate the use of the ispMACH 4000ZE CPLD in the context of battery-powered, handheld application. CPLDs are ideal for glue logic, level shifting between signal standards, and providing additional interfaces for I/O limited microprocessors. On-board power monitoring circuits with the POWR6AT6 device provide a convenient way to monitor power consumption of the CPLD. A USB cable programming interface allows you to modify the CPLD programming from any PC host. And by using ispLEVER Classic and ispVM software you can compile your own designs captured as VHDL, Verilog HDL, or schematics.

The ispMACH 4000ZE CPLD family is ideal for ultra low-power, high-volume portable applications. Based on Lattice’s popular low power ispMACH® 4000Z CPLD family architecture, the second-generation ispMACH 4000ZE offers typical standby current as low as 10µA; ultra-small, space saving 0.4mm pitch Ball Grid Array packages; 3.3V, 2.5V, and 1.8V I/O standards support; and 5-volt tolerant I/Os.

The kit includes demonstration designs pre-programmed into the ispMACH 4256ZE and POWR6AT6 devices which highlight key CPLD applications and power saving measures that will maximize battery life. The CPLD demo design integrates an up/down counter, right/left shift register, and an I2C bus master controller which communicates with the POWR6AT6. A 7-seg LCD panel displays demo output using three characters.
