----April 18,
2005--Lattice Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: LSCC) and Synplicity
Incorporated (NASDAQ: SYNP) today announced a multi-year extension of
their longstanding agreement for Lattice to OEM Synplify synthesis
tools, which currently support all Lattice digital programmable logic
devices.
The company's underlying Behavior Extracting Synthesis Technology (R)
(BEST(TM)), which is embedded in its logical, physical and
verification tools, and has led to Synplicity's top position in FPGA
synthesis, now provides the same fast runtimes and quality of results
to ASIC and COT customers. Synplicity employs over 280 people in its 20
facilities worldwide . Lattice also offers industry leading SERDES products. All other trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
