SANTA CLARA, Calif., Feb. 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- National Semiconductor Corporation's technology experts will go on tour to share the latest analog technology and design tools at 34 free, live seminars to be held around the world. 'Meeting Signal-Path Design Challenges' is the theme of the 2005 global Signal-Path Seminar Series hosted by National Semiconductor's Analog University.
Presented by the company's analog signal-path experts, the one-day intensive technical seminars will take place from April 4 through May 20, 2005 in Europe and the Americas. (Please visit http://www.national.com/analogseminars for complete date and location information). In the fall, the seminars will be available at locations throughout Japan and the Asia-Pacific Region.
National's signal-path seminar is created to meet the needs of professional design engineers and engineering managers. These full-day technical sessions focus on designing with high-performance signal conditioning, conversion and serial data transfer solutions. They are designed to provide engineers with the most up-to-date tools, techniques, and products needed to create precision, high-speed, and high-performance signal-path solutions.
At each session, National's gurus will discuss analog theory and applications, new topologies, design troubleshooting, as well as the latest high-performance products. Lunch will be provided and each attendee will receive a complimentary copy of the 'Bob Pease 2005 Lab Notes,' a 48-page compilation of Bob's handwritten lab notes, complete with coffee stains.
"We're delighted to have the opportunity to share National's expertise in signal-path analog solutions with a global audience," said Suneil Parulekar, National Semiconductor's senior vice president and general manager, Analog Products Group. "The seminars are led by National's experts and offer participants the latest information and tools they can use to design-in high-performance products."
Topics for National's 2005 Signal-Path Seminar include: -- Selecting the right operational amplifier, data conversion and serial data transfer components for an application -- Designing with high-precision sensor front ends -- Differentiating your system with high-quality audio solutions -- Maximizing signal integrity through good analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) design practices -- Designing for lowest noise and electro-magnetic interference (EMI) to enhance system performance -- Robust, high-speed serial data-transfer solutions from National, the inventor of Low-Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) technology -- Practical application examples including active filter design using National's award-winning WEBENCH(R) design environment
Since 1984, National has conducted these highly practical technical seminars that contain a blend of analog design concepts, tutorial review of basic principles, and "hands-on" application examples.
Pre-registration is required to guarantee that there are sufficient seats, lunches and handbooks at each seminar for all attendees. To find a listing of seminar dates and locations, and register to attend one of the no-cost sessions, please go to http://www.national.com/analogseminars. In the Americas, the 2005 Analog Seminar Series is co-sponsored by National's distribution partners, Arrow, (http://www.arrow.com/) Avnet, (http://www.avnet.com/), Digi-Key (http://www.digikey.com/) and Future Electronics (http://www.futureelectronics.com/).
