Lattice Semiconductor transfers SMD products to Arrow Electronics

Its SMD products include the GAL family of simple PLDs and the ispLSI 1000 family of complex PLDs. Arrow Electronics specialises in providing support for discontinued SMD products, and supports an array of military grade products in the programmable logic, memory and analogue market segments. According to Tyler Moore, director of Supply Assurance for Arrow Electronics, the agreement makes it possible for Arrow to fulfill its commitment to long term support for aerospace and defence customers. "By acquiring finished goods, die level products and the necessary test equipment, Arrow Electronics will support delivery of these critical components for many years to come," he said. Steve Stark, Lattice's director of Business Group Operations, added: "This is great news for Lattice customers, who now have an ongoing source of supply for the SMD versions of the GAL and ispLSI 1000 device families. Importantly, this new source of supply is Arrow Electronics, an industry leader in the support of discontinued products to the military marketplace."
