| Webcast Title | Featured Product | Original Webcast Date | Abstract |
|---|---|---|---|
| ispLEVER 7.1 FPGA Design Tool Technical Rollout | ispLEVER Design Software Family |
4/28/08 |
The ispLEVER/Pro 7.1 digital design tools suite supports the latest Lattice devices, including the LatticeXP2 and LatticeECP2M FPGA families, and provides all the features required to develop a design from concept to programmed device. This webcast presents an introduction to the new features included in the latest version of ispLEVER. |
| Digital Power Management for Analog Supplies | Power Manager II Family |
4/26/08 |
Digital Power Management provides a scalable and flexible mechanism for sequencing power supplies, monitoring voltage and current faults, and initiating shutdown under fault conditions. This webcast describes how a centralized programmable power management IC can be used to implement most Digital Power Management features, while using analog DC-DC converters and LDOs. Design, QA, manufacturing, and test engineers will benefit from the associated communication and digital monitoring features, reducing overall cost of ownership. |
| Optimizing Verilog Coding for More Efficient FPGA Synthesis | Lattice FPGA Families |
4/09/08 |
FPGA designers who target low-cost systems are attempting to pack as much logic as possible into FPGA devices while achieving the best performance possible. 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 with SERDES - LatticeECP2M | LatticeECP2M FPGA Family |
-- |
Multi-gigabit serial I/O standards like PCI Express and Gigabit Ethernet are becoming very popular with system designers, but until recently, only very expensive FPGAs supported these standards. In this webcast, Amelia Dalton, host of Journal Webcasts, chats with Bertrand Leigh of Lattice about low-cost FPGAs that bring multi-gigabit serial interface capability to cost-sensitive applications. |
