General Description
The heart of the board is the LatticeXP2 non-volatile FPGA. The board provides several different interconnections
and support devices that permit it to be used for a variety of purposes. The SRAM, RS232, and CF connector are
useful for microprocessor evaluation functions. The CF connector is also useful for expansion purposes. It provides
the ability to add storage, or communication capabilities to the board.
Other features on the board are useful for evaluation of the LatticeXP2 FPGA or development of more complex
solutions. The A/D, D/A, and digital potentiometer are helpful for mixed signal applications. SMA connections can
be used for the evaluation of high-speed differential signals, and protocols. ( Note: the SMA connectors are not pop-
ulated by default, but SMA connector footprints are available ). The SPI memory showcases the failsafe capabilities
of the LatticeXP2.

The board also acts as a showcase for the small, cost effective ispPAC
-POWR607 Power Manager device. The
ispPAC-POWR607 is a programmable device useful for safely managing the power supply system on the board. It
can be used to sequence and monitor the voltages on the LatticeXP2 Standard Evaluation Board.
Functional Description
The LatticeXP2 Standard Evaluation Board is comprised of several primary functional blocks as shown in Figure 1.
In the descriptions below, locations of components and board features are described relative to a compass symbol
placed adjacent to the Lattice Semiconductor Corp. logo. For example, the 8-position DIP switch is on the south-
west corner of the board, and the RS232 DB9 connector is on the northeast corner of the board.
