Lead-Free Information for Lattice Products

Due to increased worldwide environmental concerns, the need for lead-free solutions in electronic components and systems is receiving increased attention within the semiconductor and electronics industries. Lattice is fully supportive of the various industry efforts throughout the world to phase out the use of lead and other undesirable elements from electronic equipment materials and manufacturing processes. Lattice has qualified a wide variety of package types in lead-free configurations.

Lattice's lead-free products are fully RoHS compliant, meeting the European Parliament Directive entitled "Restrictions on the use Of Hazardous Substances" (RoHS). This directive prohibits the use of the following elements in electrical/ electronic equipment sold after July/1/2006: cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)), polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs).

Device Identification
To identify lead-free products Lattice adds a "N" to the ordering part number. Please reference appropriate datasheet for valid ordering part number and package combinations. This means, there are two different part numbers to clearly identify leaded and lead-free products. The lead-free ordering part number is also marked on the topside of the device.

Availability
Lattice distinguishes three groups of lead-free devices. All focus products are available in lead-free packaging. There is of course no price adder to this products. To support older boards that are still manufactured, important older products are also available in lead-free package options. Here there will be a minor price adder. For all devices that are not available as standard lead-free, Lattice can support you with a customer specific option on request.
