Seminar Title	Featured Product	Recording Date	Abstract
Static Timing Analysis Techniques for FPGAs	ispLEVER Design Software	12/13/06	This webcast covers concepts and techniques of Static Timing Analysis (STA) and practical examples including sample reports, describing timing exceptions, multicycle paths, and hold-time analysis.
SERDES Fundamentals	LatticeECP2M and LatticeSC FPGA Families	12/7/06	Learn the fundamentals of a SERDES (Serializer/De-serializer)-based interface, including the basics of Source Synchronous and CDR (Clock Data Recovery), when and how you would use Source Synchronous vs. CDR, what makes Source Synchronous work, what makes CDR work, and practical pointers on how to bring up the CDR hardware interface.
PCI Express Board Level Power Management	ispPAC Power Manager Device Family	11/30/06	This seminar explores the application of the ispPAC-POWR device's programmable feature sets to solve several problems associated with PCI Express board-level power: hot-swap, power sequencing and managing interface logic signals. In addition, the programmable ispPAC-POWR device can be used to limit the inrush current to a preset value, protecting circuitry on the PCI Express board.
Industry's Lowest-cost FPGA-based PCI Express Solution	LatticeECP2M FPGA Family	11/16/06	Learn how to use this low cost FPGA platform to design PCI Express applications.
Design Challenges for PCI Express Board Products	LatticeECP2M FPGA Family	11/08/06	This webcast discusses the key chipsets needed to build different types of boards; bridges, switches, repeaters, and PHYs. It also explores what happens when chipsets are not available or when alternatives are needed to meet specific design requirements.
Embedded Design with LatticeMico32 Open, Free 32-bit Soft Processor	LatticeMico32™ Soft Processor	10/18/06	Learn how to use the new LatticeMico32 open, free 32-bit soft processor. The LatticeMico32 provides the performance and flexibility suitable for a wide variety of markets. Lattice's unique license allows users to ensure that their proprietary designs remain proprietary and allows the implementation and distribution of hardware without the need for a separate license agreement.
Industry's First Low-Cost FPGA with SERDES: LatticeECP2M	LatticeECP2M FPGA Family	10/11/06	The new LatticeECP2M family brings SERDES to low-cost FPGAs by adding 4 to 16 channels of 3.125Gbps SERDES to a LUT4-based FPGA fabric. Developed on 90nm CMOS utilizing 300mm wafers, the LatticeECP2M FPGA is ideal for cost-conscious applications such as high volume communications, consumer, automotive, video and industrial equipment.
7:1 LVDS Video Interface Design with Low-Cost FPGA	LatticeECP2 FPGA Family	9/28/06	This webcast focuses on a reference design for an LVDS video interface and the benefits of designing video interfaces with the LatticeECP2 low-cost, 90nm FPGA family. Includes a review of digital video applications, information on how LatticeECP2 FPGA I/O features support 7:1 LVDS and Camera Link interfaces and a detailed discussion of the LVDS Tx and Rx reference design implementation.
Optimizing Verilog Coding for More Efficient FPGA Synthesis	ispLEVER Design Software	9/19/06	This webcast provides practical advice on how to write Verilog code that will produce the most efficient implementation in FPGA devices. It covers detailed do's and don'ts of synthesis coding styles and illustrates the optimization differences with actual FPGA area and timing results
Low-Cost FPGA Supports Full Rate SPI4.2 Implementation	LatticeECP2 FPGA	9/6/06	The LatticeECP2 FPGA supports full SPI4.2 rates and is the only low cost FPGA family that can claim this. Learn about the SPI4.2 Implementation Agreement, how to configure this interface for the LatticeECP2 using the ispLEVER flow and how the LatticeECP2 architecture enables high speed parallel interfaces.
Low-Cost, Flash-based FPGAs Deliver "Instant-On" Performance	LatticeXP FPGA Family	8/29/06	Low-cost FPGAs are increasingly used for low to medium density ASIC replacement. The LatticeXP family brings non-volatility to low-cost FPGAs by combining Flash and SRAM on a single chip, making it ideal for applications requiring high design security, minimized board space, or "instant-on."
Lattice Solutions for Automotive Systems	Lattice Automotive Devices	8/15/06	The exponential rise of electronic content in automobiles has many implications for designers such as time-to-market, new standards, flexibility, software investment and cost. This webcast reviews these issues and provides practical real-world applications and solutions using Lattice CPLD and FPGA devices. It covers the Lattice Automotive program, certifications and devices and takes a look at Lattice automotive IP solutions.
