Conference Held August 20-23, 2014 with Pre
Conference on August 18-19 at Phoenix Resort; Classes Available for
All Experience Levels, From Beginner to Expert
Microchip Technology Inc. [NASDAQ: MCHP], a
leading provider of microcontroller, mixed-signal, analog and
Flash-IP solutions, today announced it is accepting registrations
for its 18th annual Worldwide MASTERs Conference at the JW
Marriott Desert Ridge Resort in Phoenix, Arizona, with the
Main Conference taking place
from August 20-23, and a Pre-Conference on August 18-19, 2014.
The MASTERs Conference is a valuable resource for designing with
Microchip’s products that provides design engineers with an annual
forum for sharing and exchanging technical information on the
Company’s 8-, 16- and 32-bit PIC® microcontrollers,
high-performance analog and interface solutions, dsPIC® digital
signal controllers, wireless and mTouch™ sensing solutions, memory
products, and MPLAB® development systems—including the industry’s
only singular IDE to support an entire 8-, 16- and 32-bit
microcontroller portfolio.
MASTERs is an in-depth, bi-directional exchange of technical
information between Microchip subject-matter experts and the
Company’s technical partners, including customers, third parties,
distributor FAEs and design partners.
There is a broad range of class offerings for 2014, to meet the
growing needs of software and hardware design engineers and
engineering managers, with more than 100 classes being offered—39
of which are new this year. In addition to lecture-based classes,
there are 47 ‘hands-on’ classes that enable attendees to learn more
about specific applications by using development tools and writing
code in the classrooms. Classes are available for engineers with
advanced experience or little knowledge in the concepts and basics
of the technology being discussed.
Based on its overwhelming success at previous MASTERs, Microchip
is again offering a two-day Pre-Conference for those who wish to
attend as many classes as possible during the week. These classes
are also designed for beginner through advanced attendees. For
example, “Introduction to Embedded Programming Using C” is a
two-day, 16-hour, step-by-step crash course in C, with practical
hands-on exercises.
MASTERs classes cover the gamut of electronic-engineering
topics, including connectivity sessions on Ethernet, TCP/IP, USB,
CAN and wireless (e.g., ZigBee® and Wi-Fi®), graphics and
capacitive-touch interface development, intelligent power supplies,
firmware development, motor control, selecting op amps for sensor
applications, using an RTOS, DSP and transmitting wireless audio
using Bluetooth®.
“Technical training courses specifically designed for embedded
systems engineers are crucial to reducing development time,” said
Ken Pye, Microchip’s vice president of worldwide applications. “It
is critical that embedded engineers are trained in all aspects of
the environments in which they work, and that they walk away with
the valuable knowledge needed to solve today’s most challenging
design issues. Our annual series of global MASTERs Conferences are
offered with these goals in mind.”
Additional activities include networking sessions between
third-party partners and attendees to discuss relevant design
topics, meeting with third-party development tool experts and a
simulated wafer fab plant tour. Extracurricular events include a
robot race, a Texas Hold-em card tournament, a FIRST® robotics
exhibition match, and sports-bar and video games that are suitable
for the whole family.
