For example, the center-to-center spacing of the package balls of the LCMXO2280 256-ball BGA device of the MachXO2280 breakout board are only 1.00 mm BSC (basic spacing between spacing). Electrical traces of the breakout board connect each I/O to header landings that have 2.54mm centered holes.

By adding test probes, jumper wires, or pin headers to the header landings, engineers can easily evaluate the MachXO sysIO buffer, ispMACH 4000ZE I/O cells, or POWR1014A voltage monitors, high-voltage FET drivers, and open drain outputs.

Each Breakout Board is a 76x76mm form factor and features a USB B-mini connector for power and programming, an LED array, and prototype area. All Lattice Breakout Boards provide an easy-to-use platform for evaluating and designing with the MachXO2280 PLD, ispMACH 4256ZE CPLD, or the POWR1014A Power Manager II.

Along with the board and USB programming cable, each kit includes a pre-loaded demonstration design. By using free Lattice design tools, users may then reprogram the on-board PLD device to review their own custom designs.
