Lattice Acquires SiliconBlue

by Kevin Morris

Anyone who watches the programmable logic industry has seen a major resurgence from Lattice Semiconductor over the past couple of years. Just a few years ago, the company was on the ropes financially and technically, and many experts were expecting the company to quietly perish in the night.

It did not.

Instead, Lattice came back with a spark of focused determination seldom seen in long-lived technology companies. The executive ranks were purged and refilled, the culture was dramatically transformed – from a rigid, top-down dictatorship to a bottom-up, participative, team-oriented environment that fosters creativity and risk-taking.  Read More

A Mysterious New Roll-On Material… or Two 2

posted by Bryon Moyer

Printed circuits (generally organic) have historically suffered from a lack of n-type semiconductors. A new one seems to have found its way into a couple recent announcements. But what is it? (19-Dec)

To be, or not to be - an FPGA?

After software, what's next?

During six-plus decades of adherence to the Turing paradigm, the computer field has reaped the benefits of ever- faster and -denser (and -reliable) hardware. Over the same span of decades, the creation and maintenance of software hasn’t gotten any easier ...

Hybrid bus a ‘masterpiece of British engineering’

"A masterpiece of British engineering."

Now there's a phrase you don't hear much. wink

As the former owner of a Lotus, a Sunbeam, a Tiga, and a Crossle, I'm intimately familiar with British automotive engineering.

Seems doubtful these new double-...

Hybrid bus a ‘masterpiece of British engineering’

Oh dear!

This is a serious vanity project by London's Mayor. Each bus is reprted to cost around £360,000 (just over $500,000) to build, 20% more than other buses in use. But there is also a £7.8m ($12 million) NRE charge for design and prototyping, pai...

The VCs might not have given up all their share in SiliconBlue. They still might be holding on to some considering that SB is still sort of a startup.
