Analog Devices Healthcare Director Delivers Speech on Role of Analog Semiconductors in Next-Generation Portable Medical Equipment : ADI’s Pat O’Doherty is a featured speaker at electronica 2008.


MUNICH, Germany (PRWEB) November 11, 2008

O’Doherty discussed how the growing demand for point-of-care and home-use medical devices is making systems requirements progressively complex and demanding for medical equipment designers who must reduce the size, improve ease of use, and increase the performance of next-generation portable medical devices. These new system-level demands mean that analog semiconductor manufacturers must rise to the challenge of developing breakthrough building-block ICs that make the design of next-generation products possible. O’Doherty also underscored how developing future innovative capabilities for medical devices is increasingly dependent on the continuous and effective sharing of information between both system and analog integrated circuit designers.

 

In addition, O’Doherty explained how the ability of semiconductor manufacturers to develop a deep system-level understanding and provide maximum value to their customers is becoming one of the most important competitive dimensions in the analog semiconductor arena.
