DesignCon Tech Exhibition Will Showcase Latest Electronic-Design Tools and Components for Electric, Semiconductor Engineers.SANTA CLARA Santa Clara, city, Cuba Santa Clara (sän`tä klä`rä), city (1994 est. pop. 217,000), capital of Villa Clara prov., central Cuba. , Calif. -- When you hear the expression "the right tool for the job," you may think of a hammer or a screwdriver screwdriver, n See instrument, screwdriver. . When an electronic-design engineer hears the phrase, it may conjure con·jure v. con·jured, con·jur·ing, con·jures v.tr. 1. a. To summon (a devil or spirit) by magical or supernatural power. b. images of a backplane An interconnecting device that has sockets for printed circuit boards to plug into. Passive and Active Although resistors may be used, a "passive" backplane adds no processing in the circuit. connector, an oscilloscope oscilloscope (əsĭl`əskōp'), electronic device used to produce visual displays corresponding to electrical signals. Displays of such nonelectrical phenomena as the variations of a sound's intensity can be made if the phenomena are , or a jitter A flicker or fluctuation in a transmission signal or display image. The term is used in several ways, but it always refers to some offset of time and space from the norm. For example, in a network transmission, jitter would be a bit arriving either ahead or behind a standard clock cycle timing device. These are just a few of the latest kinds of tools for semiconductor and electronic-design engineers will be on display at the DesignCon 2005 technology exhibition in Santa Clara, Calif. The DesignCon 2005 educational conference will take place Jan. 31 - Feb. 3 at the Santa Clara Convention Center. The technology exhibition will run Feb. 1-2 from 12:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Agilent Technologies This article needs sources or references that appear in reliable, third-party publications.

The DesignCon technology exhibition will feature displays from more than 100 leading producers of EDA (1) (Electronic Design Automation) Using the computer to design, lay out, verify and simulate the performance of electronic circuits on a chip or printed circuit board. tools, test and measurement equipment, printed circuit boards and related technologies, semiconductor components and intellectual property, and interconnect (1) To attach one device to another. (2) A physical port (plug, socket) or wireless port (transmitter, receiver) used to attach one device to another. technologies. "The manufacturers of complex electronic and communications products are increasingly relying on the ingenuity of engineers to design integrated systems to power them," said John Janowiak, senior director of the International Engineering Consortium (IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission, Geneva, Switzerland, www.iec.ch) An organization that sets international electrical and electronics standards founded in 1906. It is made up of national committees from over 60 countries. IEC - International Electrotechnical Commission ), which presents DesignCon. "Visitors to the technology exhibit will see dozens of products and solutions on display that are aimed at helping engineers continue to produce these powerful systems," he said. The exhibition will also feature two new special areas. The Semiconductor Technology Pavilion Pavilion may refer to:
PCB in full polychlorinated biphenyl Any of a class of highly stable organic compounds prepared by the reaction of chlorine with biphenyl, a two-ring compound. Technology Pavilion will provide a showcase A showcase, or vitrine, is a glassed-in cabinet or case for displaying delicate or valuable articles such as objects d'art or merchandise in a shop, museum, or house. for companies demonstrating products intended to meet the increasingly sophisticated needs of printed-circuit board designers.
