Accelerate Time-to-Market for System Control Applications with New MachXO Control Development KitTemperature and current monitoring, power supply sequencing, reset distribution and fan control are typical board diagnostic functions used in system control designs. The new MachXO Control Development Kit provides you with a platform for rapidly prototyping these functions. The kit features the MachXO LCMXO2280 device, the Power Manager II ispPAC-POWR1014A device, 2Mbit SPI Flash memory, 1 Mbit SRAM, interface to a 16 x 2 LCD panel, SD and CompactFlash memory sockets, fan circuit, current and voltage sensor circuits, USB connector (JTAG, RS232), and several LEDs and switches. Note: LCD panel and SD and Compact Flash memory are not included in the kit. The figures below show the MachXO Control Development Kit and the MachXO Control Evaluation Board.
Preloaded Control SoC Demo Demonstrates Board Management FunctionsThe MachXO Control Development Kit includes a pre-loaded control system-on-chip (Control SoC) design that demonstrates board diagnostic functions including fan speed control based on temperature monitoring, LCD control, complete power supply monitoring and reset distribution in conjunction with the Power Manager II POWR1014A and 8-bit LatticeMico8 microcontroller. It integrates several Lattice reference designs including the LatticeMico8 microcontroller, PWM fan controller, LCD controller, SRAM controller, I2C controller, SPI Flash memory controller, and a UART peripheral. Using the Control SoC design, you can now test these functions within minutes and then build your own designs using the free downloadable reference design source codes, implementing these features in less than an hour.  PC Board Control and Power Management AvailabilityPriced at $165, the kit is available for ordering via the Lattice Online Store and through authorized Lattice distributors.
