DSP Seminar

www.ti.com/sc/seminar/

It's by TI and it's free. It's also about analog interfaces.

Day 1 - A software-centric overview of system considerations for DSP, including live demonstrations of silicon and the DSP industry's only integrated development environment, Code Composer Studio.

Day 2 - Analog interfaces for your system for everything from power management to data converters to amplifiers.

The DSP seminar will highlight the industry's highest performance DSPs - the TMS320C6000 - and the most power efficient - the TMS320C5000. The 'C6000 DSPs, the industry's first advanced VLIW DSPs, shipping for almost three years, with 300 MHz in 4Q99, and 2.5 billion MMACS/5000 MIPS in the year 2000, are the clear leader in DSP performance. The 'C5000 DSPs, with more than 250 million units shipped, are the industry's lowest power consumption/MIPS DSPs. 'C5000 DSP offerings range from the $5 100-MIPS 'C5402 (at 0.60 mW/MIPS), to the 200-MIPS, dual-core 'C5420 for space-constrained, power-efficient applications.

The Analog seminar will address the interface between analog components and the interface between analog and digital components in a typical signal- processing application. Topics discussed will include design issues, system considerations and product selection.

Embedded Systems Academy

www.esacademy.com/

Training and consulting services for design and development of embedded systems. We specialize in Embedded Networking with CAN and CANopen and in Embedded Internetworking (see also www.embeddedinternetworking.com).

Our most popular service is a "project-kickstart" where one of our consultants visits clients for 1-2 weeks. The first days will be spend on a customized training where we try to fill exactly those knowledge gaps that the engineering team might have. The rest of the stay will be spend implementing early prototypes (usually based on Phytec Rapid Development Kits) that implement the required communication routines.

Our tutors are experienced in the usage of the microcontrollers from Atmel, Infineon Technologies and Philips Semiconductors.

TOLU

New technical courses available on the Internet - and they are FREE. Finally, online courses you can really use! Courses on TechOnLine University are completely free and the curriculum focuses on engineering theory, existing products, and applications of emerging technologies. These courses are not "online textbooks." The goal at TechOnLine University is to provide engineers with technical knowledge that can be applied to solve real-world design challenges.

TechOnLine University theory courses establish the underlying scientific and mathematical basis for a technology topic. They present you with the opportunity to review or experience the concepts that make that technology work. Application courses give examples on how to apply that theory to develop products using generic tools and devices. Finally, product courses will train students in the tools, devices and equipment offered by leading vendors in the industry.

Each course is written by a subject-matter expert from industry or academia in concert with specialists in interactive education, to offer you the most effective online educational product. As a result, TechOnLine University courses are made up of short, interactive modules, allowing for a successful, self-paced learning program.
