Lattice Shrinks Design Footprint and Cost, Boosts Reliability
Lattice Shrinks Design Footprint and Cost, Boosts
Reliability in Embedded Systems with Single Wire
Aggregation IP Solution
Solution Lets Developers Reduce the Number of Physical Connectors
Required to Link Components and Boards in Systems
Lattice Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: LSCC), the low power
programmable leader, today announced a Single Wire Aggregation (SWA) IP
solution for reducing overall system size and BOM cost in industrial, consumer,
and computing applications. The solution is a quick, easy, and innovative way
for developers to use low power, small form factor Lattice FPGAs to dramatically
reduce the number of board-to-board and component-to-component connectors in their embedded designs to increase reliability
and reduce overall system footprint and cost.
The connectors used to link circuit boards and modules in electronic systems are costly, take up valuable space in devices with
tight form factors, and over time can degrade and negatively impact system reliability.

•First Product on New Lattice Nexus FPGA Platform
•Up to 75% Lower Power Compared to Similar Class
Competitive Devices
Lattice Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: LSCC), the low power programmable leader,
today announced the first FPGA developed on its new Lattice Nexus™ FPGA platform,
CrossLink-NX™. This new FPGA provides the low power, small form factor, reliability, and
performance that developers need to create innovative embedded vision and AI solutions
for communications, compute, industrial, automotive, and consumer systems.
According to Patrick Moorhead, president and founder of Moor Insights & Strategy, “Technology trends like 5G connectivity,
cloud-based analytics, factory automation and the smart home are driving demand for embedded vision solutions that
support machine learning. However, the data latency, cost and privacy issues associated with cloud-based ML analytics
have sparked interest among developers in moving more data processing from the cloud to the Edge. But doing so
requires OEMs have access to Edge AI/ML inferencing solutions that offer high performance data processing, low power
operation, and a small form factor.”

Pickering Electronics’ miniature HV reed relay at the
heart of IC test system for On Semiconductor
Custom request becomes industry’s smallest high voltage reed relay
Pickering Electronics, the reed relay company which has pioneered
miniaturization and high performance for over 50 years, has announced
that it has developed a miniature high voltage relay for use in a new test rig,
designed by globally-renowned chip maker, ON Semiconductor.
In switching systems for test and measurement applications, reed relays are often the best solution thanks to their small
size, high isolation resistance, hermetically sealed contacts, fast operate time and long-life expectancy. When developing a
new test rig, ON Semiconductor – a long-standing customer of Pickering - identified the need for a reed relay with a stand-off
voltage of at least 400VDC, which was also small enough to meet its demanding high switching density requirements.
The internal clearance constraints required by the uprated specs would not fit within the package dimensions of other
miniature relays in Pickering’s broad portfolio.
