| With today’s SoCs increasing in complexity, it’s no wonder the software needed to run on these devices is taking longer to create, adapt, and optimize for a given application on a given piece of hardware. No question practices and methodologies behind system design need to change. |
 | | This month, we explore the idea that in order to save power in many applications, you now have to know a lot about making power in a variety of different situations – or you can borrow knowledge about digital power from someone else. | |

| HILLSBORO, OR – SEPTEMBER 8, 2009 – Lattice Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: LSCC) today announced the immediate availability of eight new reference designs, a $49 development kit for the ProcessorPM(tm) POWR605 power manager device and a $69 development kit for the ispMACH(r) 4000ZE CPLD, the ispMACH 4000ZE Pico Development Kit. The new kits are ideal for prototyping high volume, cost sensitive, low power, space constrained applications. System designers at OEMs and ODMs are increasingly using programmable logic devices in their systems as they face time-to-market pressures and design flexibility requirements that cannot be addressed by ASICs and ASSPs alone. Using Lattice’s low-cost programmable logic solutions, designers can now introduce several versions of the same product with very short development cycles and make upgrades to existing products in the field with low risk. |
| Reference Design Showcases Lower Cost, Smaller Size, Greater Efficiency and Programmability of Implementing UPS With Digital Power |
| While the Voyager analyzer records USB traffic, the Power Tracker feature transparently measures and graphically displays voltage and current allowing developers to verify power management behaviors at the higher layers |
| This paper covers the basics of reactive power management, as well as the more advanced topic of proactive or predictive power management. System integrators and developers well gain a better understanding of these power management techniques and how these techniques can reduce power consumption. |
