LeCroy Partners with Microchip Technology to Equip Worldwide Regional Training Centers with LeCroy WaveJet(TM) Oscilloscopes.Engineers Attending Classes Will Have Access to LeCroy's WaveJet[TM] 300 Series 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 for Designing with Microchip's PIC([R]) Microcontrollers CHANDLER, Ariz. & CHESTNUT RIDGE Chestnut Ridge may refer to:
 Microchip Technology (NASDAQ: MCHP) is a manufacturer of microcontroller, memory and analog semiconductors, founded in 1989 when Inc. (NASDAQ NASDAQin full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on : MCHP MCHP Maryland Children's Health Program MCHP Microchip Technologies (stock symbol) MCHP Micro-sized Combined Heat and Power (American Honda Motor Co. & Climate Energy, LLC) MCHP Maine Community Heritage Project ), a leading provider of microcontroller A single chip that contains the processor (the CPU), non-volatile memory for the program (ROM or flash), volatile memory for input and output (RAM), a clock and an I/O control unit. and analog semiconductors, and LeCroy Corporation (NASDAQ: LCRY), a worldwide leader in serial data test solutions, today announced that the companies have established an ongoing joint collaboration for LeCroy to provide Microchip Technology workshop participants with access to semiconductor test equipment. Under the agreement, LeCroy will provide WaveJet[TM] 300 Series oscilloscopes for use by attendees during instructional workshops at Microchip's worldwide Regional Training Centers (RTCs). Engineers seeking design instruction with Microchip's silicon products will now use a LeCroy oscilloscope for hands-on experience validating designs and debugging/troubleshooting circuits. Microchip's workshops take place at 34 RTC See real time clock. engineering labs in the Americas, Asia Pacific and Europe. LeCroy's WaveJet 300 Series features unmatched performance and debugging (programming) debugging - The process of attempting to determine the cause of the symptoms of malfunctions in a program or other system. These symptoms may be detected during testing or use by real users. tools not usually found in lower-bandwidth portable oscilloscopes. With the longest capture time in its class, features such as a large screen display and USB USB in full Universal Serial Bus Type of serial bus that allows peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, digitizers, data gloves, etc.) to be easily connected to a computer. connectivity, and bandwidths ranging from 100 MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. to 500 MHz, the WaveJet 300 Series allows engineers to simplify and shorten their microcontroller design validation and debugging process. The WaveJet series of oscilloscopes is designed to provide engineers with high-performance testing capabilities in a portable scope at an exceptional value. "Our new partnership with LeCroy, which facilitates the use of oscilloscopes by RTC students, demonstrates our ongoing commitment to helping customers succeed," said Ken Pye, vice president of Worldwide Applications Engineering at Microchip. "Microchip is excited to partner with LeCroy in this endeavor, which provides an even greater return on investment for our RTC students." "Our collaboration with Microchip Technology enables design engineers from all over the world to experience the high-performance testing abilities of LeCroy's low-bandwidth portable WaveJet oscilloscopes," said LeCroy president and chief executive officer Tom Reslewic. "We are very pleased to be partnering with Microchip Technology in this effort, which supports our commitment to helping customers bring products to market faster at a lower cost." Microchip launched its global network of Regional Training Centers earlier this year to meet customers' demands for more frequent training. Many engineers are looking to improve their knowledge base and skill sets on a regular basis. Microchip's RTCs offer a multitude of courses covering a wide range of applications. These courses provide expert instruction in a small classroom setting on new design methodologies, board-level "tips and tricks" and hands-on development tool projects that can make engineers more productive while increasing their own professional value. Additionally, Microchip's courses help make the attendees' organizations more successful by speeding time to market and lowering total system costs. Each RTC offers a wide range of course topics for skill levels from beginner to advanced. For additional information on RTC locations or to register for courses visit www.microchip.com/RTC. Microchip Customer Support Microchip is committed to supporting its customers by helping design engineers develop products faster and more efficiently. Customers can access four main service areas at www.microchip.com. The Support area provides a fast way to get questions answered; the Sample area offers free evaluation samples of any Microchip device; microchipDIRECT provides 24-hour pricing, ordering, inventory and credit for convenient purchasing of all Microchip devices and development tools; finally, the Training area educates customers through webinars, sign-ups for local seminar and workshop courses, and information about the annual MASTERs events held throughout the world.
