COI edit requests

[edit]

Hi! I'm posting here on behalf of Lattice Semiconductor with a few requests:

Lead

[edit]

In infobox, update

| revenue = $366.1 million (2014)[1]
| net_income = Increase $48.6 million (2014)[1]
| num_employees = 784 (2015, full-time)[1]

to

| revenue = $404.1 million (2019)
| net_income = Increase $43.5 million (2019)
| num_employees = 747
| num_employees_year = 2019[2]
 Done Updated on 13 August. Mary Gaulke (talk) 17:58, 13 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

In first sentence, update high-performance to low-power[3] and delete , CPLDs, & SPLD from the parenthetical so that only FPGAs are specified, since those are now the company's focus.[4]

Update

Founded in 1983, the company by 2014 was employing about 700 people and had annual revenues of around $300 million.[5]

to

Founded in 1983, the company has more than 700 employees and an annual revenue of more than $400 million as of 2019.[2]

History

[edit]

Add to end of section:

Activist investor Lion Point Capital purchased a six percent stake in Lattice in February 2018.[6] The next month the company filled three new seats on its board with independent directors supported by Lion Point.[7] That same year, Lattice replaced several members of its leadership team, including bringing in a new president and CEO, Jim Anderson, who previously worked at Advanced Micro Devices.[8] Under the new leadership, Lattice shifted the company's focus entirely to low-power field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs).[4]
 Done P,TO 19104 (talk) (contribs) 20:09, 22 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Operations

[edit]

In my opinion, the first paragraph of this section would make more sense broken into a new "Products" section, leaving the second paragraph to constitute the "Operations" section.

no Unnecessary P,TO 19104 (talk) (contribs) 20:09, 22 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Due to my COI, I won't be editing directly. I appreciate any help or feedback. Thank you! Mary Gaulke (talk) 19:34, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@MaryGaulke: I have made certain changes as requested; see above. P,TO 19104 (talk) (contribs) 20:10, 22 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

a few more edit requests

[edit]

Hi! A few more requests from me, all in the "Operations" section. Again, as I noted above, I have a COI and won't be editing the article directly.

Lattice's main products are the ECP and XP series of FPGAs (field-programmable gate arrays), the Mach series of CPLDs (complex programmable logic devices), the ispPAC POWR series of programmable power management products (programmable mixed signal FPAA) and Lattice Diamond design software.[2] At the 90 nm node, Lattice offers a variety of FPGA devices.
to
Lattice's main products are the ECP and Certus-NX series of general purpose FPGAs (field-programmable gate arrays),[3] as well as CrossLink FPGAs for video bridging and processing,[4] iCE FPGAs for low-power applications,[5] and MachXO FPGAs for control and security.[6][7] Other products include the sensAI[8] and mVision solution stacks,[9] its Radiant[10] and Diamond design software,[11] and its Propel design environment.[12] The Lattice Nexus Platform is a low-power FPGA platform that uses the 28 nm fully depleted silicon-on-insulator fabrication process.[13]
(Adding refs and information based on refs.)
  • Update
The company employs 700 people worldwide, with approximately 250 of those at company headquarters.
to
The company employs more than 700 people worldwide as of 2019.[14]

Thanks for any help/feedback! Mary Gaulke (talk) 22:40, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @MaryGaulke:, here is my response to your request edit:
Update 1:  Done
Update 2: Partly done. Too many products were listed and I doubt they are all notable. I kept the first part of the paragraph and wikilinked iCE (if it has an article, it's probably notable to include.) If you think another product should be listed, please post below. I removed the 90 nm node sentence because I have no idea what that refers to and Wikipedia should be written to be understandable to non-experts in this field.
Update 3:  Done
I have closed this ticket. Please respond below if you have any questions or concerns. Z1720 (talk) 01:29, 5 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

2021 COI edit requests

[edit]

Hi! I'm a COI editor for Lattice, here with some new requests:

Lead

[edit]
  • Update
Lattice Semiconductor Corporation is an American manufacturer of high-performance programmable logic devices (FPGAs, CPLDs, & SPLDs).[1] The company has more than 700 employees and an annual revenue of more than $400 million as of 2019.[2]
to
Lattice Semiconductor Corporation is an American semiconductor company specializing in the design and manufacturing of low power, field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs).[3] Headquartered in the Silicon Forest area of Hillsboro, Oregon,[4] the company also has operations in Shanghai,[5] Manila,[6] and Singapore.[7] Lattice Semiconductor has more than 700 employees and an annual revenue of more than $400 million as of 2019.[2]
Using the "Chappatta" ref name in use in the article.[4]
  • Move from lead into History section:
In 2011,[needs update] the Oregon-based company was ranked third among the world's makers of field programmable gate array (FPGA) devices[8] and second for CPLDs & SPLDs.[9]
And update accordingly:
In 2011, the company was ranked third among the world's makers of field programmable gate array (FPGA) devices[10] and second for CPLDs & SPLDs.[9]

History

[edit]
  • I think it makes sense to break this section into subsections. I propose "Founding and early growth" for the first four paragraphs, "Acquisitions and leadership changes" for the next three paragraphs, and "Since 2016" for the last two paragraphs.
  • The level of detail included on quarterly financial results strikes me as WP:UNDUE. I propose deleting
For the first quarter of 2012 Lattice reported revenue of $71.7 million.[11] Lattice reported revenue of $70.8 million for the second quarter of 2012.[12]
and
In October 2012, the company announced third quarter revenue of $70.9 million and restructuring that included job lay-offs.
  • Add to end of section:
Lattice acquired computer vision software company Mirametrix in November 2021.[13][14]

Products

[edit]
  • Split first paragraph of "Operations" into new section:
Lattice manufactures field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs),[15] programmable mixed-signal and interconnect products, related software and intellectual property (IP).[16] Lattice's main products are the ECP and Certus-NX series of general purpose FPGAs,[17] CrossLink FPGAs for video bridging and processing,[18] iCE FPGAs for low-power applications,[19] and MachXO FPGAs for control and security.[20][21] Products are used in a variety of end uses, such as flat-panel televisions and laptops.[22]
  • And update the above with some additions:
See also: iCE (FPGA), LatticeMico8, LatticeMico32, and GAL22V10
Lattice primarily focuses on small, efficient low-power field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs).[23][15] It also sells programmable mixed-signal and interconnect products, related software and intellectual property (IP),[24] for applications from edge computing[25] to cloud computing.[26] Lattice's main products are the ECP and Certus-NX series of general purpose FPGAs,[27] CrossLink FPGAs for video bridging and processing,[28] iCE FPGAs for low-power applications,[29] and MachXO FPGAs for control and security.[30][31] Products are used in a variety of end uses, such as flat-panel televisions and laptops.[22]
Lattice's software offerings include design tools Diamond,[32] Radiant,[33] and Propel.[34] It also provides solution stacks, including mVision, designed for machine vision in power-constrained designs;[35] sensAI, designed to integrate machine learning into internet of things applications;[36] Automate, designed to facilitate industrial applications like robotics and real-time networking in settings like automated factories and warehouses;[37] and Sentry, for security.[38]

Thanks for any help/feedback! Mary Gaulke (talk) 05:04, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Mary Gaulke, I have reviewed each of the proposed changes (thank you for the clear description of what was being changed). You are approved to make the requested edits. One note: when you remove the "(FPGAs, CPLDs, & SPLDs)" in the opening sentence, please link the first instance that they are referred to in the article, since those links will be removed by your changes. Best, SpencerT•C 01:22, 16 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you kindly for the review! I believe we are all set now, including the CPLDs and SPLDs links. Mary Gaulke (talk) 19:26, 16 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
