Lattice Semiconductor just 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. Lattice also announced four additional reference designs and the new Hercules Development Kit, which will enable customers to accelerate time to market for these power management applications.

“Customers are finding that the Lattice programmable Power Manager technology is helping them reduce their bill of materials and the number of board re-spins,” said Gordon Hands, Lattice’s Director of Marketing for Low Density and Mixed Signal Solutions. “Power 2 You shares our experiences with applications where programmable technology delivers these benefits.”

Approximately 100 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. Many of the techniques outlined in the book are demonstrated using reference designs. Documentation and source code for these designs can be downloaded free from the Lattice website at:

To aid in the rapid prototyping of designs using Power Manager devices, Lattice will provide the new Hercules Development Kit, which features the Power Manager 1220AT8 device. This development kit will allow easy evaluation of the hot-swapping, monitoring, control and trimming applications discussed in Power 2 You.
