TI Announces Another Year Of Student Innovation With The 2013 European Analog Design Contest

The TI European Analog Design Contest is an initiative to encourage system-level design within universities. It is an opportunity for undergraduate and master’s students to show creativity and engineering skills while working on a design project using TI’s broad range high-performance analog and embedded processing ICs. The TI European Analog Design Contest allows students to gain experience and recognition in the analog field, as well as compete against other students for cash prizes.

The Analog Design Contest is hosted by TI’s European University Program, founded in 1994. The program seeks to encourage young talent to innovate in the areas of system design leveraging analog and embedded processing building blocks. TI’s European University Program supports more than 1,000 universities in Europe that offer classes in the fields of electronics and electrical engineering or computer science.
