Add USB in your existing Design by Microchip’s USB to SPI Protocol Converter
24-Jan-2012

Microchip has recently announced the HID-class MCP2210 USB to SPI protocol converter, the simplest, smallest-footprint and most cost-effective option for adding USB-Certified connectivity to SPI-based systems.

Microchip came up with MCP2210. This chip comes in small, 20-pin SSOP and 5x5 mm QFN packages, for space-constrained applications. Additionally, the MCP2210 has nine flexible, general-purpose I/O that can be configured via a PC as standard digital I/O pins or in alternate configurations, providing additional system I/O that simplify designs and support a wide range of applications.

Six Month Training Program for Engineering College Students
24-Jan-2012
Imbuent is going to start Six Month Training Program, aimed to Engineering College Students. We have carefully designed this course to keep an eye of fast growing industry.

Topics Covered

PART 1 ( 8051 CONTROLLER )
PART 2   ( PIC CONTROLLER )
PART 3    ( ARM CONTROLLER )
PART 4    ( RTOS )
PART 5   ( EMBEDDED LINUX )
Project Work

The objective of this course is to give industrial training of Embedded System to participants, so that after doing this they can face the competition of the market. This course is designed to give introductory level to complete knowledge of 8 bit processor to 32 bit processor ARM. We cover Embedded Linux also. Embedded Linux is one of the widely used RTOS in embedded system. Middlewares like USB Stack, TCP/IP will also be covered. By this training participant will get hand on experience on development boards which are used in industry.
