Lattice Semiconductor
User’s Guide
Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Lattice Semiconductor ispMACH
®
4000ZE Pico Development Kit!
This user’s guide describes how to start using the ispMACH 4000ZE Pico Development Kit, an easy-to-use plat-
form for evaluating and designing with the LC4256ZE CPLD. Along with the evaluation board and accessories, this
kit includes a pre-loaded Pico Power demonstration design. You may also reprogram the on-board LC4256ZE and
ispPAC
®
-POWR6AT6 devices to review your own custom designs.
Note: Static electricity can severely shorten the lifespan of electronic components. See the
ispMACH 4000ZE Pico
Development Kit QuickSTART Guide
for handling and storage tips.
