If you're involved in any phase of mixed-signal design and verification -- or someday might be -- you'll find a lot of valuable, practical information at the Cadence Mixed-Signal Technology Summit Sept. 20, 2012 in San Jose, California. In addition to Cadence R&D experts, you'll hear about the latest techniques and methodologies from designers representing companies including ARM, Analog Bits, Boeing, Broadcom, Maxim, and Micron.
This user summit is a great opportunity to ask questions and network with industry experts. And this year there's a special bonus -- each attendee will receive a free copy of the recently released Mixed-Signal Methodology Guide.
The summit will be held from 8:15 am - 6:15 pm at Cadence San Jose headquarters. In addition to technical presentations, it includes an academic keynote, an industry keynote, and a closing panel discussion, as well as lunch with Cadence R&D experts. Here's the full schedule:
