Microchip’s Worldwide Embedded Designer’s Forums come to UK and Ireland in November and December 2009
Microchip has announced the opening of registration for its Embedded Designer’s Forum (EDF), a worldwide series of technical learning events focused on innovative technologies that will help designers stay ahead in today’s competitive environment. The forums will run from October 2009 through February 2010 at 120 locations across the world, with 51 forums located in Europe and 6 forums across UK and Ireland running in November and December.
All Showcasing the latest PIC® microcontroller (MCU) technologies, the Embedded Designer’s Forums will teach designers how to add more features and functionality to their designs, for lower system costs and faster time to market. Each forum will include the following sessions:
• Lower Your System Power With the World’s Lowest Sleep Power MCU
• Getting the Most Out of the New 32 MHz PIC16F Enhanced 8-bit Core MCUs
• Expand Your Application With PIC32 32-bit Performance
• Add LCD and Graphics Displays to Your Products
• Improve Your User Interfaces Using Touch-Sense Technology
• Integrate USB Connectivity Into Your Embedded Design
Today’s embedded designers are tasked to do more with less, at lower costs and in less time.
Microchip’s Embedded Designer’s Forums are designed to enable them to accomplish these goals. Whether it is learning how to develop extremely low-power designs, or enhancing user interfaces with touch sensing and graphic displays, the Forums will give designers an edge to quickly differentiate their products in the marketplace.
EDF attendees will see demos of Microchip’s easy-to-use development tools and free software libraries. Discounted tools include the MPLAB Starter Kits for PIC18 8-bit, PIC24F 16-bit, and PIC32 32-bit MCUs; the F1 Evaluation Platform for Enhanced 8-bit PIC MCUs; the mTouch™ Capacitive Touch Evaluation Kit; and the PICkit™ 3 Debug Express.
