Lattice Blogs

Lattice has launched a new blog called "Frontier" at
http://www.latticeblogs.typepad.com/

Frontier is a collaborative blog written by senior Lattice engineers.
Our initial blog authors are David Rutledge, vice president of product
development (and inventor of the original GAL device); Bertrand Leigh,
manager of applications engineering; Mike Kendrick, manager of SW
product planning; and Gordon Hands, director of strategic marketing.
All of our authors are employees of Lattice Semiconductor.

We hope you will want to take advantage of this opportunity to hear
what our engineers are saying, start an open dialog and share ideas
with some of our key innovators at Lattice. Your comments and questions
are welcomed and appreciated and can influence Lattice products.

Thanks.
Bart Borosky, Lattice

While for Xilinx parts I can go the the Digikey or Nuhorizont webpage (and
even www.schukat.de carries some XC3Sparts) and get online quote and
availablity, I don't know of such places for Lattice parts.

Talking to distributor as a small number customer is mostly non rewarding, I
try to avoid it.

Hello Uwe,
You might try a specialized distributor such as Mouser for smaller
quantities of Lattice parts. It is my understanding that proto
quantities are their specialty, so they are setup to have stock on hand
of FPGAs and a very low minimum order qty (1pc.?). If you're interested
in Mouser, they do stock Lattice FPGAs:

Hope this helps.

What about small order quantities in the U.K?

Mouser ships worldwide and has stated that their shipping time is very
good to Europe and Asia.

If you do try Mouser for your shipment for the U.K., please let me know
how your experience is, how long it took, etc.
