Description

The Lattice Semiconductor ispGDS™ family is an ideal solution for reconfiguring system signal routing or replacing DIP switches used for feature selection. With today’s demands for customer ease of use, there is a need for hardware which is easily reconfigured electronically without dismantling the system. The ispGDS devices address this challenge by replacing conventional switches with a software configurable solution. Since each I/O pin can be set to an independent logic level, the ispGDS devices can replace most DIP switch functions with about half the pin count, and without the need for additional pull-up resistors. In addition to DIP switch replacement, the ispGDS devices are useful as signal routing cross-matrix switches. This is the only non-volatile device on the market which can provide this flexibility.
