  • Embedded Forum at Electronica, a Theatre-Style Presentation Area Located in Hall A6, the Dedicated “Embedded Hall”
    VIEWPOINT Dear Reader, The electronica 2008, 23rd world´s leading trade fair for electronic com- ponents, systems, and applications is just a few weeks ahead and will take place from November 11th to 14th in the New Munich Fair Centre. To in- form you about this important event we created an electronica preview starting at page 12 where you will find all the information you need to plan your visit for example how to save money with your online registration. Please note that there are new opening times due to suggestions of exhibitors and visitors, too. Of special interest for you might be the Embedded Forum at electronica, a theatre-style presentation area located in Hall A6, the dedicated “Embedded Hall”. At the Embedded Forum ICC Media will stage a 4-day forum programme with half-hour presenta- tions about technical and market trends, products, solutions, and applications. The attendance of the Embedded Forum is free for all electronica visitors. You´ll find the programme starting at page 14 and can select the most interesting presentations for you. Saving energy – what also implies protecting the environment – is a big 32-bit MCU Solutions with issue today. Especially the manufacturers of appliances are looking for new ways saving as much energy as possible. In our cover story the Flexis integrated TFT / LCD Controller MCU are described. This is a family of compatible 8- and 32-bit from Atmel with ARM926EJ and AVR32 AP7 Core technology. microcontrollers which allows the designers to evaluate both options ® before deciding the best choice for a given application.
