Texas Instruments Co-sponsors WinHEC 98
TI to Demonstrate Leading DSP Solutions for PCs and PC Peripherals
DALLAS (March 16, 1998) -- For the first time, Texas Instruments (TI) is the co-sponsor, with Microsoft®, of the Windows® Hardware Engineering Conference '98 (WinHEC), March 25-27 in Orlando, Florida. During the conference, TI will demonstrate its support of new technology initiatives that are leading the way to the PCs of the future. Through state-of-the-art demonstrations, two conference papers, six technical exhibitor sessions and an IEEE 1394 technology seminar, TI will highlight multiple DSP solutions for PCs and PC peripherals.
The TI booth (Booth No. 401) will feature important PC-related technology, including 1394 solutions such as TI's latest 1394 native bridge controller, a new asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) chipset designed to facilitate high-speed Internet access, and TI's PCI-to-CardBus controllers, featuring new chip scale packaging. TI will also demonstrate its audio power amplifier technology, its multimedia video, 3D and audio technology and a DSP-enhanced memory module.
"TI's co-sponsorship of WinHEC '98 demonstrates our commitment to serving the Windows marketplace," said Gerald Wineinger, director of TI's PC Systems Lab. "The knowledge we've gained in co-developing standards, such as PC 98 and Device Bay, has translated into an advantage for our customers by enabling them to get to the market first with the latest technology."
Two prominent TI engineers will offer the following technical conference papers:
IEEE1394 Host Controller Power Management, presented by Neil Morrow, product development engineer
This presentation will cover requirements for implementing OnNow, the 1394 host controller device power management. The status of the host controller device will be discussed, as well as issues such as device functions per state, state transitions and power policy. Hardware and software considerations prior to implementation of the 1394 host controller will also be topics for discussion.
Implementation of the Device Class Power Management Specification for PCI-CardBus Controllers, presented by Grant Ley, applications engineer, Bus Solutions
The main features of power management specifications for CardBus controllers will be discussed in this session. Topics will include wake-up, software pieces associated with wake-up, PME# context and functional context in CardBus controllers.
During WinHEC, TI designers have been scheduled to conduct six exhibitor sessions. Topics to be discussed during these sessions include:
In conjunction with the show, TI is offering a 1394 technology seminar at the Peabody Hotel, 9801 International Drive in Orlando. For more information, call 1-800-477-8924, ext. 5045.
