Lattice Semiconductor announced the addition of the programmable, ispPAC-POWR607 device to its Power Manager II product family. The devices achieve a sub- $1.00 price point in high volume, targeting power management applications such as LCD TV, automotive multimedia systems, GPS receivers, Multimedia Terminal Adapters and set-top-boxes. The device integrates a complete set of power management functions that typically require multiple ICs.It can monitor up to 6 circuit board power supplies and generate signals such as a CPU Reset, including pulse stretching and power supply fault interrupt, using the on-chip 16 macrocell CPLD, four programmable timers and 7 outputs (two of which also can be configured as high voltage MOSFET drivers).

The device can be powered down using an external logic signal, or by an internally generated signal. Once in the power down state, the device draws a mere 10 microamperes from the power supply. The POWR607 are packaged in 5mm x 5mm QFN packages. Designs are implemented using the Windows-based Lattice PAC-Designer Software version 4.7. PAC-Designer 4.7 software is available for download free of charge from the Lattice website. In high volume (100KU+) the price of the ispPAC- POWR607 devices in the 32-pin QFN package and industrial temperature range is $0.95. Samples are available now.
