Lattice's Mixed-Signal Power Manager Family Wins Product of the Year Award- Electronic Products Magazine Designates Lattice Device "Product of the Year" for 2003 - HILLSBORO, OR - DECEMBER 15, 2003 - Lattice Semiconductor Corporation, (NASDAQ: LSCC), industry leading supplier of in-system programmable devices, today announced that its revolutionary ispPAC� Power Manager mixed-signal programmable products have received Electronic Products' "Product of the Year" award for 2003.
In addition to the Electronic Products award, Lattice's Power Manager devices have also claimed this year the "Electron d'Or" award given by the French electronics publication Electronique for the most innovative programmable semiconductor product concept. Lattice's Power Manager devices provide a standard, off-the-shelf programmable mixed-signal solution for power management that enhances reliability and speeds time-to-market. Analog features such as input comparator thresholds and digital functions such as supply control sequences are programmed into non-volatile E2CMOS� elements on the devices using an IEEE1149.1 boundary scan protocol.
Applications for Power Manager devices span all types of electronic equipment, including telecom and networking systems, storage systems, servers, test equipment and automotive electronics. Their programmable features make them ideal for controlling multiple power supplies in conjunction with a wide range of regulator and switching technologies. Power Manager Design Support in PAC-Designer Version 2.1 About Lattice Semiconductor Lattice products are sold worldwide through an extensive network of independent sales representatives and distributors, primarily to OEM customers in the fields of communication, computing, computer peripherals, instrumentation, industrial controls and military systems.

"This award recognizes the inherent innovation and unique value of the Power Manager concept," said Stan Kopec, vice president of corporate marketing. "Most gratifying, customer design-in activity on these devices continues at a brisk pace foretelling the ultimate commercial success of these products in the market."
The complexity of power supply management has increased dramatically in recent years as the number of voltages found on the typical PCB has risen sharply. Most system-level integrated circuits, whether processors, ASSPs, ASICs or FPGAs, have device-specific power supply sequencing and tracking requirements that make each PCB power supply management design unique. Traditional approaches, consisting of arcane collections of resistors, capacitors, discrete analog and logic functions are no longer practical solutions, and the Power Manager family is designed to handle these complex problems without the shortcomings of earlier approaches.
