Seminar Title Featured Product Recording Date Abstract
Secure FPGA Configuration Over Ethernet LatticeMico32 "Soft" Microprocessor  5/31/07 Digital consumer and industrial systems inevitably require updates. Systems designed to use reconfigurable logic like FPGAs, or with rewritable non-volatile memory have the potential for upgrades. Many of these systems have some form of network connection and can use the available communications connection to perform system upgrades. But how can updates to these kinds of systems be done securely? This webcast covers an FPGA-based embedded system that implements the LatticeMico32 "soft" microprocessor to perform remote system updates via a wired Ethernet interface. Attend this webcast and learn strategies for implementing remote upgrades securely. 
Revolutionizing Clock Network Implementation  ispClock Clock Generator Devices  03/14/07 Most circuit boards implement their clocking network using Fan-out Buffers, Zero-Delay Buffers, Clock Generators, Logic Translators, etc. Every board requires a different clocking network and consequently uses different sets of ICs from multiple vendors. The ispClock device integrates all these functions on a single chip and can be customized to meet individual circuit board needs through programming. This webcast examines different clock networks and shows how a single chip can be used across all of those designs.
Programmable Logic for Consumer Electronics  Lattice Consumer Solutions 02/28/07 Consumer electronic devices pressured by cost and competition are constantly being upgraded. Multiple standards and formats require that products have flexibility for speedy design changes. View this webcast to learn how Programmable Logic ICs are enabling consumer electronics manufacturers to accommodate these fast changing markets.
FPGA Video Interfacing Fundamentals MachXO, LatticeECP2/M, ispClock and Power Manager Device Families 02/07/07 Practical information on implementing automotive video systems with Lattice FPGAs. Topics discussed include video output devices (cameras, DVD players), signaling and cabling between device considerations, and connections to LCD displays. Learn how these subsystems impact system design and cost.
Serial RapidIO Solutions from Lattice and Mercury Computer Systems   LatticeSC FPGA Family  01/24/07 Serial RapidIO is a low pin count, point-to-point, high-speed, scalable interconnect technology that can be easily adapted across a wide range of DSP, networking, telecommunications, and embedded applications. Like many high-speed serial interconnect technologies, it employs a layered protocol structure which can easily be implemented in FPGAs. Learn how Lattice and Mercury Computer Systems have teamed together to offer a solution that combines Mercury's advanced expertise in Serial RapidIO technology with Lattice's FPGA device innovation.
