            Lattice Semiconductor and Synplicity Clarify Terms of Development 
            and Marketing Agreement
            HILLSBORO, Ore. & SUNNYVALE, Calif.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—April 21, 2005— 
            Lattice Semiconductor Corporation (Nasdaq:LSCC) and Synplicity Inc. 
            (Nasdaq:SYNP) today clarified the terms and expectations of the 
            development and marketing agreement to enhance and promote Lattice 
            FPGA device performance in Synplicity's Synplify Pro(R) FPGA 
            synthesis tool that was announced by Lattice Semiconductor on April 
            18, 2005. While the agreement calls for Synplicity to begin 
            development of certain enhancements to its Synplify Pro software in 
            support of Lattice FPGAs, current and potential future customers 
            should understand that any specific features, functionality, 
            improvement and release timing remain at the sole discretion of 
            Synplicity, and no warranty is made as to when or if any such 
            specific features, functionality, improvement or release may occur.
