FPGAs - What, Why, Where, & How

Date and Location:
March 29, 2008, Saturday, 8:45 am - 1:15 pm
at the Historic Electronics Museum (HEM)
1745 W. Nursery Rd., Linthicum, MD (410) 765-2345

The agenda for this seminar is to provide the attendees with an overview
of Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA).  By their nature, FPGAs can
address many applications so we will look to build a strong foundation
for future FPGA discussions.  This foundation will include a high level
overview of FPGAs as well as design flow and design methodologies.
Additional topics to be discussed include embedded systems, DSP, and
power.  

The Presenter will be Brian Hoey.  Brian is a Senior Field Applications
Engineer with Altera Corporation.  As a FAE, Brian manages the technical
engagement between Altera and some of their top customers within his
geography.  This engagement encompasses the whole design flow from
consulting on system architecture to device selection and design
implementation to prototype and production support.  Brian has been with
Altera for 7 years and has worked with companies in the military, test,
computer, wireline and wireless communications markets.  Prior to
joining Altera, Brian was a design engineer with Northrop Grumman.
