Registration Opens for Microchip's 12th India MASTERs Conference Premiere Technical Training Event for Embedded-Control Engineers

Delhi, India, October 29, 2015 (Newswire.com) - Microchip Technology Inc., a leading provider of microcontroller, mixed-signal, analog and Flash-IP solutions, today announced that it is accepting registrations for its 12th annual India MASTERs Conference. The conference will take place on 2-4 December in Bangalore.  India MASTERs is an in-depth, bi-directional exchange of technical information between Microchip subject-matter experts and the Company’s technical partners, including customers, third parties, distributor FAEs and design partners. To register online or find out more about this event, visit http://www.microchip.com/im.

The MASTERs Conferences, which originated in United States in 1997, are a global annual series of premiere technical training events for embedded-control engineers.  The Conference has now expanded to locations in eight countries across the world.  The India MASTERs Conference is a valuable resource for designing with Microchip’s products that provides design engineers with an annual forum for sharing and exchanging technical information on the Company’s 8-, 16- and 32-bit PIC® microcontrollers, high-performance analog and interface solutions, dsPIC® digital signal controllers, wireless and mTouch® sensing solutions, memory products, and MPLAB® development systems—including the industry’s only singular IDE to support an entire 8-, 16- and 32-bit microcontroller portfolio.

There is a broad range of class offerings for 2015, to meet the growing needs of software and hardware design engineers and engineering managers, with 35 total classes available.  In addition to lecture-based classes, there are thirteen ‘hands-on’ classes that enable attendees to learn more about specific applications by using development tools and writing code in the classrooms.  Classes are available for engineers with advanced experience or little knowledge in the concepts and basics of the technology being discussed.

MASTERs classes cover the gamut of electronic-engineering topics, including connectivity sessions on Ethernet, TCP/IP, USB, CAN/LIN and wireless (e.g., Bluetooth® and Wi-Fi®), graphics and capacitive-touch interface development, intelligent power supplies, firmware development, motor control, DSP and using an RTOS.

“Technical training courses specifically designed for embedded systems engineers are crucial to reducing development time,” said Ramesh Babu, Microchip’s Sales Manager, India.  “It is critical that embedded engineers are trained in all aspects of the environments in which they work, and that they walk away with the valuable knowledge needed to solve today’s most challenging design issues.  Our annual India MASTERs Conferences are offered with these goals in mind.”

Additional activities include networking sessions between third-party partners and attendees to discuss relevant design topics, and meeting with third-party development tool experts.  The “Ask the Experts” program allows attendees to ask Microchip engineers about design and development questions relating to any of Microchip’s products.  The “Third Party Bazaar” also showcases development tools that help decrease development time when using Microchip products.  Microchip Key Note session will be held in the evening of day 2 as well.  This conference also offers attendees a MPLAB® XC Standard Compiler for free.

Registration & Pricing Information

Entry to the MASTERs Conference courses, all class materials and meals are included in the Conference attendance fee of Rs. 5,000.  The final registration deadline is 18 November.  Full details on all aspects of this MASTERs Conference can be found at http://www.microchip.com/im.
