Webinar: Mobile Internet Device Architectures

Free webinar: Mobile Internet Device (MID) architectures
Texas Instruments
Register now! On August 7, 2008, at 11 a.m. Central time, In-Stat and Texas Instruments will team up to present a series of insights into the technologies and market dynamics that will Unleash the Mobile Internet. The series includes the following:
  • MID market overview (June 26)
  • MID architectures (August 7)
  • MID business model (September)
  • MID ecosystem (November)
The first highly attended webinar on the MID market overview provided MID definition and huge potential for this emerging application. A webinar replay is available.

Join In-Stat's Jim McGregor, principal analyst and research director, for the second webinar in the series, MID architectures. Jim will be moderating an hour-long webinar featuring a live Q&A discussion with TI's Brian Carlson and other industry participants on the critical topic of hardware and software architectures for this new class of mobile solutions. Among the topics of the discussion are the following:
  • ARM vs. x86
  • System-on-a-chip vs. multi-chip approach
  • Hardware systems architecture
  • Software systems architecture
Don't miss this opportunity to gain a unique understanding of the industry's most promising segments as we address the critical issue of system and solution design. As mobile users increasingly demand "no compromise" wireless Internet solutions, understanding the applications, hardware alternatives, new software requirements, communications technologies, usage models, and evolving business models becomes crucial in this growing and dynamic segment.

Technical Web Seminar: Low Current Measurements from nA to fA


LIVE WEB SEMINAR

FREE TECHNICAL ONLINE SEMINAR:

How to get the most from your Low Current Measurement Instruments

There's no charge for registration, but space is limited, so sign up today!

Seminar Contents

This seminar is designed to cover the the basics of low current (from nA to fA) electrical measurements, including how to select the right current measurement instrument, practical ways to reduce current noise in measurement setups, and how to quantify subtle sources of noise. These measurement best practices are important for applications in semiconductor material/device characterization, nanoscience test and measurement, optoelectronic device characterization, and many more. Application examples where such sensitive measurements are required will be discussed, together with a discussion of recent innovative test equipment solutions.

After attending this seminar, you will understand:

  • Measurement techniques required for measuring very small currents
  • Sources of measurement error that will affect such low current measurements
  • Measurement solutions that can be used in low current measurement applications.

This informative 45-minute seminar is recommended for students, as well as for professional researchers, engineers, and scientists in areas such as materials science, chemistry, nanoscience, and semiconductor device development who wish to get a better understanding of low current electrical measurements.

It is accompagnied by an interactive Q&A (during live broadcast only) where you can ask the presenter for additional insight on this important topic.
