Avnet Electronics Marketing Americas, a business region of Avnet, Inc. (NYSE: AVT), will showcase design know-how by offering a signal processing technical design seminar for engineers at next week’s 21st Annual Embedded Systems Conference (ESC). The event runs March 30-April 1 at San Jose’s McEnery Convention Center.

Avnet technical specialist and 25-year industry veteran, Jim Carver, will present “Signal Processing, Not Just for DSPs Any More” on Tuesday, March 31. His presentation highlights signal processing capabilities of the latest generation of digital signal processor (DSP[]) microcontrollers. Attendees will gain insight on key design features and performance capabilities of these devices to help them determine if they are a suitable alternative to DSPs in their designs.

“The Embedded Systems Conference has been the premiere design event in the technology industry for over 20 years,” said Jeff Ittel, senior vice president of semiconductors for Avnet Electronics Marketing Americas. “Over the past few decades, Jim Carver has built a wealth of knowledge by working hands-on with silicon vendors to develop new product specifications and through his involvement in the hardware and firmware development process. We are honored to have Jim play an active role in this event from an educational standpoint and share his knowledge with fellow designers and engineers.”
