Guide to Power Supply Management and Control Now Available in Print and Electronic Fomats.

In May, Lattice announced the electronic publication of Power 2 You, a book that guides board designers in the implementation of board power supply management solutions that reduce costs, improve reliability and manage risk.

The second edition of Power 2 You is now available in both print and electronic formats. Contact your local Lattice sales office to receive a printed copy. The electronic version is available here.

Lattice programmable Power Manager II technology is helping designers reduce their bill of materials and number of board re-spins. Power 2 You shares our experiences with applications where programmable technology delivers these benefits.

Reference Designs

At over 150 pages, Power 2 You details the use of programmable technology in a wide variety of applications such as power supply sequencing, monitoring, trimming, hot swap and power feed.
