Analog Devices' Jerry McGuire Delivers Keynote Presentation at Embedded World International Exhibition and Conference.

NUREMBERG, Germany -- Digital Signal Processing Luminary Highlights Embedded Convergent Processing's New Frontier During Industry Conference and Continues Discussion Online

Analog Devices, Inc. (NYSE: ADI), a global leader in high-performance semiconductors for signal processing applications, announced Jerry McGuire, General Manager CPSG (Convergent Processing Systems Group) at ADI, delivered the keynote speech this morning at Embedded World, the world's largest exhibition and conference for the international embedded systems design community. Jerry also hosts a discussion on embedded system design at: http://www.analog.com/analog_root/static/promotions/embeddedWorld2006/

Given before thousands of attendees from more than 25 different countries, Jerry's presentation, "The New Frontier: Application Convergence in a Networked World," explored the near-and long-term ramifications of digital convergence on embedded and digital-signal processing systems design and the historic, heroic role the embedded systems design community is playing in delivering the digital future.

Tracing embedded systems design's dramatic move from the engineering fringes to the center of today's interconnected, networked world, Jerry explored the opportunity for innovation in an era when technologies are converging and winding up in myriad applications, from industrial robots, to your automobile, digital living room and mobile devices. In addition, he addressed the many facets of "convergence" - from consumer demand for "all in one" devices to the intrinsic multi-format, multi-mode challenges of networked design - that are changing the rules of digital-signal processing and stimulating new approaches.

A luminary in the digital signal processing field, Jerry is a 19-year veteran of ADI and is responsible for managing the company's development and delivery of world-class embedded processors, DSPs and software to a worldwide customer base.
