Portable Design Conference & Exhibition
~Power Management for a Wireless World
“The best way to predict the future is to invent it.” – Alan Kay.
If there was ever a place where our technology future is unfolding, it is in portable consumer electronics devices. Remember a few years ago when your cell phone could only make phone calls? Now it can also play music and videos, surf the web and hold 10 years worth of photos—all of this on a tiny battery. The cutting edge problems in electronics show up first in portable designs, as do the solutions – that is why we are here.
We invite you to join us at a unique gathering targeted to the fastest-growing segment in the electronics industry...this is a valuable opportunity for designers - engineers and project managers that should not be missed.
– Registration for Your Complimentary Guest Badge is now open.

Elite Sponsor
Qualcomm MEMS Technologies, Inc. has developed the industry's first micro electrical/mechanical systems (MEMS) display for mobile devices, mirasol display - a true technological innovation that offers low power consumption and superb viewing quality in a wide range of environmental conditions, including bright sunlight.
Gold Sponsor
Actel Corporation's innovative flash-based FPGAs and programmable system chip solutions attack power consumption from both the chip and the system levels. In addition to industry-leading low-power and power management solutions, the company also offers soft ARM processor cores, power-smart IP and application solutions, and power-optimized tools.
Express Logic offers the most advanced run-time solutions and development tools for deeply embedded applications, including its popular ThreadX RTOS, the high-performance NetX TCP/IP stack, the FileX embedded FAT-compatible file system, the USBX Host/Device USB protocol stack, the PEGX GUI development kit, the BenchX Eclipse-based IDE, and the TraceX real-time graphical event trace and analysis tool.
Tensilica offers the broadest line of controller, CPU, multimedia, and specialty DSP processor cores for SOC design on the market today - including full software toolchain and modeling support - in both an off-the-shelf format via the Diamond Standard Series cores and with full designer configurability with the Xtensa processor family.
Wind River is the global leader in device software optimization (DSO). We enable companies to develop, run, and manage device software better, faster, at lower cost, and more reliably. Wind River technology is currently deployed in more than 300 million devices worldwide by industry leaders like Apple, Hewlett-Packard, Boeing, Motorola, NASA, and Mitsubishi. Wind River Professional Services enable leading electronics vendors like Philips, Siemens, Nortel, and Samsung to design, develop, and deploy innovative products on or ahead of schedule, at or below budget.
Silver Sponsor
Delkin Devices has over 20 years of expertise providing industrial quality flash memory solutions, partnered with tier one manufacturers worldwide. Delkin flash memory is rugged, controlled storage, featuring enhanced shock, vibration and temperature specifications, a configurable part number and locked-down BoM, customized to fit your requirements.
Virage Logic is a technology and market leader in providing advanced embedded memory intellectual property (IP) for the design of complex integrated circuits. The company's Silicon Aware IP offering (embedded memories, logic libraries and I/Os) includes silicon behavior knowledge for increased predictability and manufacturability. With the acquisition of Impinj Inc. logic non-volatile memory (NVM) IP business in June 2008, the company extended its embedded memory leadership position into the rapidly growing NVM market.
Supporting Sponsor
Benchmark software from the Embedded Microprocessor Benchmark Consortium helps designers select and create embedded processors for a wide variety of applications. MultiBench is an extensive set of benchmarks aimed at testing multicore architectures, devices, and systems. EnergyBench is a special tool that allows EEMBC members and licensees to simultaneously measure performance and energy. EEMBC provides certified benchmarking results through the EEMBC Technology Center.
