Cypress's PSoC(R) Technology to be Featured in Presentation at 2008 American Society for Engineering Education Conference and Exposition.Presentation on June 23 Will Highlight PSoC as a Platform for the Development of Embedded System Any electronic system that uses a CPU chip, but that is not a general-purpose workstation, desktop or laptop computer. Such systems generally use microprocessors, or they may use custom-designed chips or both. Design Coursework and Laboratory Practice Materials SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif. -- Cypress Semiconductor Cypress Semiconductor is a semiconductor design and manufacturing company. It began operations in 1982 and listed publicly in 1986. Two years later, the company shifted over to the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol, (NYSE: CY). Corp. (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :CY) today announced that its PSoC([R]) technology will be featured in a paper to be presented by noted authors Dr. Alex N. Doboli and Dr. Edward H. Currie at the 2008 American Society for Engineering Education Conference and Exposition. The paper will be presented in room 316 of the David L. Lawrence Convention Center The David L. Lawrence Convention Center is a 1.5 million square foot convention, conference and exhibition building in Downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States. Completed in 2003, it sits on the southern shoreline of the Allegheny River. in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania “Pittsburgh” redirects here. For the region, see Pittsburgh Metropolitan Area. Pittsburgh (pronounced IPA: /ˈpɪtsbɚg/) is the second largest city in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. on June 23 from 12:30 to 2:00 pm. Doboli and Currie, along with Cypress's Patrick Kane Patrick Kane (born November 19, 1988 in Buffalo, New York) is an American ice hockey player. He is currently playing for the NHL's Chicago Blackhawks. He went to St. Martin of Tours school. and David Van Ess, will present "New and Innovative Educational Material for Teaching Mixed-Domain Embedded Systems Embedded systems Computer systems that cannot be programmed by the user because they are preprogrammed for a specific task and are buried within the equipment they serve. to Undergraduate/Graduate Students." Their presentation will discuss development of innovative, mixed-signal system design coursework, including teaching materials and methodologies for the co-design of performance-optimized modules for signal sensing, control, actuation, and communication in embedded systems. Auburn University Auburn University, main campus at Auburn, Ala.; land-grant and state supported; opened 1859 as East Alabama Male College, reorganized 1872 as the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Alabama; became coeducational 1892; renamed Alabama Polytechnic Institute 1899, Electrical and Computer Engineering Professor, Victor T. Nelson, will moderate the discussion. "Traditionally, undergraduate students have been exposed to mixed-signal, embedded systems in the form of discrete microprocessors and microcontrollers, analog to digital converters, and a range of other components," said Doboli. "The Cypress Programmable System-on-Chip architecture, with associated text and lab books and a comprehensive development environment, now make it possible for students to gain in-depth exposure to mixed-signal embedded design, including theory and hands-on experience, within a single semester and at minimal expense." Doboli and Currie recently co-authored "Introduction to Mixed-Signal, Embedded Design." The textbook, which focuses on the PSoC([R]) architecture, is written for upper division undergraduate and first-year graduate curricula and focuses on defining the characteristics of embedded design, embedded mixed-signal architectures, and top-down design. It also presents optimized implementations of these designs. The textbook, and a companion laboratory manual co-authored by Van Ess, will be available from the Cypress University Alliance at booth 217 in the Main Exhibit Hall during the exposition and are also available online at cypress.com/buyonline. "PSoC's architecture offers broad support for both analog and digital blocks," said Currie. "With its ability to customize these blocks for specific mixed-signal, embedded designs, this architecture provides students a unique opportunity to design and implement sophisticated embedded applications." Cypress University Alliance The Cypress University Alliance is a multifaceted program that helps put electrical engineering and computer science students on a fast track to career success. The program includes a global design competition, comprehensive curricula and a university alliance website providing access to a myriad of free design resources, evaluation boards and online courses. It also includes product donations for lab projects. Cypress's Innovator Design Challenge is a multi-discipline engineering design contest open to all undergraduate and graduate engineering students currently enrolled at an accredited accredited recognition by an appropriate authority that the performance of a particular institution has satisfied a prestated set of criteria. accredited herds cattle herds which have achieved a low level of reactors to, e.g. university. The contest's goal is to challenge students to stretch their imaginations as they develop new and novel ways to utilize Cypress technologies such as the PSoC mixed-signal array.
