Netezza uses Lattice instrument to simplify multiple power-management functions
Lattice Semiconductor
PAC POWR 1220AT8
Lattice Semiconductor has announced that IBM company Netezza is using Lattice’s programmable power manager device, the PAC POWR 1220AT8, to integrate and simplify multiple power-management functions in a board design.
Capable of working with a mixture of regulators from different vendors, the PAC POWR 1220AT8 is able to use the integrated CPLD for small amounts of glue logic and programmable I/O.
It also features a way to compensate for voltage drops due to PCB characteristics or load variations; and a voltage-feedback control, which could be effective with 24A 1V devices that have large current-variation potential.
According to Lattice Semiconductor, the PAC POWR 1220AT8 simplifies power management through integration, reduces board cost and increases board reliability.
