Welcome
Welcome to the new DESIGN West conference and exhibition, which includes the traditional spring Embedded Systems Conference (ESC) and exhibition alongside six complementary events. With DESIGN West, we still bring you—the embedded systems developer—the best that ESC has offered you for 24 years, but we’ve added a whole new range of technologies to both conference and expo activities for you to explore.
Six engaging summits now join ESC: Android, Black Hat, DesignMED, Designing with LEDs, Multicore DevCon and Sensors in Design. The teams putting these summits together have truly excelled themselves by assembling a not-to-be-missed program of expert speakers and content.
In addition to ESC’s Android Certification program, we’ve launched a dedicated Android Summit to help you apply Android to embedded designs and build embedded Android apps.
The Black Hat Summit provides a forum to discuss and evaluate the latest solutions for securing embedded systems from threats, while DesignMed is dedicated to exciting developments in medical electronics design including regulatory issues such as the FDA’s regulation of mobile health applications.
Produced by the editors at EDN magazine, Designing with LEDs addresses the technology design aspects of high-brightness LEDs, principally in lighting and illumination. The 10 sessions will update you on the latest LED technology as well as give you an in-depth look at optics, power control and intelligence.
The two-day Sensors in Design conference, brought to you by the editors of Design News magazine, provides 16 sessions to help you gain greater understanding of the design, manufacture and application of sensors plus sessions on the Expo floor in the Sensors in Design Theater. Several sessions examine the use of sensors in harsh environments (industrial, defense and automotive applications); other sessions explain current and future uses of MEMS, smart sensors and leading-edge sensors.
Last but not least, DESIGN West hosts the 7th annual Multicore DevCon, which includes an exhibition, technical sessions and panels addressing the key issues in multicore processor design and implementation, including the effective use of multicore development and design tools.
While each day starts early with Shop Talk discussion groups at 7am and conference sessions at 8:00 am, make sure to cross the road to the San Jose Civic Auditorium at 9:30 am for an amazing line-up of keynote speakers including Thomas Dolby, musician and technical innovator; JB Straubel, chief technical officer and founding-team member at Tesla Motors Inc.; and Robert Vamosi, author of When Gadgets Betray Us: The Dark Side of our Infatuation with New Technologies.
And all of this is accompanied by a vast array of exhibits on the Expo show floor, including dedicated zones for M2M, boards, sensors and multicore. Don’t miss the two Exvpo-floor theaters providing panels, teardowns, speed training and a tool swap. On all three days of the Expo, watch Brian Fuller and his team from the Drive for Innovation teardown the Chevrolet Volt, which he drove on his extensive U.S. road trip starting in July 2011.
Over four days, you will have access to all the best in electronics design. To make the most of your visit, don’t let the innovation end when the parking lot empties on Thursday. Visit the DESIGN West’s web site throughout the year. The web site is not just for the show; it’s for life. We’re giving attendees and exhibitors access to drive their own conversations, connect and access on-demand content anytime on ubmdesign.com.

Keynote Address: Unleash the Genius Within!9:30 am – 10:30 am San Jose Civic Auditorium
Thomas Dolby, Musician and Technical InnovatorFor two over decades Thomas Dolby Robertson has combined music and technology to great effect. The advent of MTV brought Thomas his initial exposure in the early 1980’s. His intelligent videos stood out from the pack, and his songs “She Blinded Me With Science” and “Hyperactive” became huge hits that have stood the test of time. His keyboard and production work put him in the studio with the likes of David Bowie, Stevie Wonder, Foreigner, Joni Mitchell and George Clinton. Numerous awards and five Grammy nominations later, Thomas had achieved worldwide recognition as an artist. Recognizing the opportunities for digital distribution of music via the Internet as early as 1994, Thomas became a spokesman for a generation of musicians eager to change the entrenched business models of the music industry. He was determined to make music a core component of the emerging World Wide Web, and enlisted the support of Silicon Valley companies such as Intel, Interval Research, Sun and Netscape. His startup company Beatnik Inc wrote the audio layer of Java and created the first interactive music sites on the Web. In July 1998, Thomas received a Lifetime Achievement in Internet Music award from Yahoo! Internet Life.
Thomas grew Beatnik from a small team of musically savvy engineers and technically astute musicians to a 120-person company that deftly survived the ‘dotcom crash’ by maneuvering away from the Web into the wireless phone space. He licensed Beatnik’s technology to Nokia and co-developed the first software synthesis ‘polyphonic’ ringtone engine for mass-market devices. Now retired from Beatnik, Thomas is musical director of the world-famous TED Conference, and has returned to the stage, taking his one-man ‘Sole Inhabitant Tour’ around the US and Europe.

Keynote Address: Driving Innovation in Electric Vehicles9:30 am – 10:30 am San Jose Civic Auditorium
JB Straubel, Chief Technical Officer/Co-founder, Tesla Motors Inc.The story of JB’s career started at a junkyard in Wisconsin, where, at the age of 14, he discovered a discarded electric golf cart and decided to rebuild it. Thus began a lifelong fascination with energy work and electric vehicles.

Keynotes & Industry Address
As a co-founder of Tesla, JB has overseen the technical and engineering design of the vehicles, focusing on the battery, motor, power electronics, and high-level software sub-systems. Additionally, he evaluates new technology, manages vehicle systems testing, and handles technical interface with key vendors.
Prior to Tesla, JB was the CTO and co-founder of the aerospace firm, Volacom, which designed a specialized high-altitude electric aircraft platform using a novel power plant. At Volacom, JB invented and patented a new long-endurance hybrid electric propulsion concept that was later licensed to Boeing. Before Volacom, JB worked at Rosen Motors as a propulsion engineer developing a new hybrid electric vehicle drivetrain based on a micro turbine and a high-speed flywheel. JB was also part of the early team at Pentadyne, where he designed and built a first-generation 150kW power inverter, motor-generator controls, and magnetic bearing systems.
Armed with a bachelor’s in energy systems engineering and an master’s in energy engineering from Stanford University, JB left the cold winters of Wisconsin for good. He now lives in Woodside, Calif., where he continues to indulge his passion for electric transportation: he built an electric Porsche 944 that held a world EV racing record, a custom electric bicycle, and a pioneering hybrid trailer system. JB is also an accomplished pilot.

4:30 pm – 5:30 pm Room: KSS-215: Micron and Altera joint presentation, “Making SoC FPGA- Based Memory Systems More Resilient to Soft Errors Through Detection and Correction”PRESEnTED BY: Hans Spanjaart, Senior Technical Marketing Manager, Altera, and Matt Prather, Applications Engineer, Micron Technology ABSTRACT: Continuously advancing semiconductor process technologies have enabled increased component integration, functionality, and performance in embedded systems. While increased capabilities reap huge rewards, a side effect of higher-performance systems is the increased probability of soft errors. Decreasing supply voltages cause integrated circuits to be more susceptible to various types of electromagnetic and particle radiation. As memory size in embedded systems grows to hundreds of megabytes, soft errors may exceed acceptable levels due to naturally occurring alpha particles. In addition, as interface speeds exceed 1 Gb/s (gigabit per second), excessive noise and jitter may cause errors in the transmission lines to and from external memory.This presentation will examine the potential sources and implications of soft errors and explain an error detection and correction method implemented by Altera and Micron to make embedded systems more resilient to these types of soft errors.

probability of soft errors. Decreasing supply voltages cause integrated circuits to be more susceptible to various types of electromagnetic and particle radiation. As memory size in embedded systems grows to hundreds of megabytes, soft errors may exceed acceptable levels due to naturally occurring alpha particles. In addition, as interface speeds exceed 1 Gb/s (gigabit per second), excessive noise and jitter may cause errors in the transmission lines to and from external memory.This presentation will examine the potential sources and implications of soft errors and explain an error detection and correction method implemented by Altera and Micron to make embedded systems more resilient to these types of soft errors.
