What is it?
This half-day training is a
technical introduction to the technologies available to meet
your real time signal processing needs. Learn how to take
advantage of new products and proven methods to make your
system design process simpler and faster. All real-time
embedded designs including video/imaging, audio, control,
communications, biometrics, medical, automotive and military
must address common considerations to achieve the right mix of
performance, power consumption, system cost. This training will
address the following considerations:
- Market trends and their
impact on your design
- An understanding of the
real-world interaction of real-time embedded systems and
the constraints which are placed on a real-time system
- An overview of available
technology options and trade-offs
- An understanding of key
considerations which must be addressed by the system
designer
- System architecture choices
and tradeoffs between FPGA, GPP, ASSP, ASIC, DSP and
Microcontroller when choosing a processor for real-time
embedded design
- How to use digital and
analog products in a real-time embedded system to meet
real-time and latency constraints
- What are the "tools of
the trade" and how to get the most out of them to
maximize your development capability?
Who should attend?
Design engineers or
engineering managers implementing embedded real-time signal
processing design for any end equipment.
Agenda
- What is a real-time
embedded system and why a general purpose DSP is uniquely
positioned to solve it.
