September 2011Board Designers Can Learn to Reduce Power Management Costs up to 50%, Increase Reliability and Reduce the Risk of Board Re-spins
Following the publication and widespread adoption of Power 2 You: A Guide to Power Supply Management and Control, Lattice is launching the worldwide “Power 2 You” Seminar Series in October 2011. The seminar will include comprehensive practical and technical presentations that combine basic design principles, advanced programmable power and platform management concepts, and real-world power and platform management application examples.
Seminar topics will include:
Power and platform management experts from Lattice will lead the seminars in more than 50 cities in Asia, Europe and North America. The seminars are free; however, pre-registration is required. Each attendee will receive a copy of the seminar materials, as well as the “Power 2 You” comprehensive guide to power management. In addition, five attendees at each seminar location will win a POWR1014A Breakout Board Evaluation Kit.
In addition to launching the Power 2 You Seminar Series, Lattice is simultaneously lowering the cost of all five Power Manager II evaluation boards by 50%. These boards can implement most of the power management functions reviewed in the seminar and users can add their own custom circuit in the breadboard area for enhanced board-level verification. Lattice is also lowering the cost of all Platform Manager devices by up to 20%.
Attendees can register for the seminar and choose their preferred date and location on the Lattice Semiconductor website at www.latticesemi.com/Power2you. Attendees can also register for the seminar through their local Lattice sales representative or distributor.
Lattice Power Manager devices deliver highly accurate, flexible and low cost solutions for power supply and processor/DSP management. By integrating a versatile PLD core with Analog-to-Digital (ADC) converters, Digital-to-Analog Converters (DAC), differential sense analog monitors, I2C communication and in-system programmability, Power Manager devices increase board reliability, decrease component count and help cut costs.
Named 2010 "Product of the Year" by Electronic Products magazine, the Platform Manager devices include both a power management and a digital board management section, enabling designers to reduce board management costs by integrating power and digital board management functions. In addition to reducing costs, designers are also taking advantage of other Platform Manager capabilities, such as the ability to log power supply and other board faults.
