Registration Opens for Microchips 11th India MASTERs Conference;
Premiere Technical Training Event for Embedded-Control Engineers

Conference Held 1-3 December in Bangalore;
Classes Available for All Experience Levels, From Beginner to Expert


New Delhi, 16 October 2014 [NASDAQ: MCHP] Microchip Technology Inc., a leading provider
of microcontroller, mixed-signal, analog and Flash-IP solutions, today announced it is accepting registrations
for its 11th annual India MASTERs Conference. The conference will take place on 1-3 December in
Bangalore. To register online or find out more about this event, visit http://www.microchip.com/get/QTT2.
The MASTERs Conferences, which originated in United States in 1997, are a global annual series of
premiere technical training events for embedded-control engineers. The Conference has now expanded to
locations in eight countries across the world. The India MASTERs Conference is a valuable resource for
designing with Microchips products that provides design engineers with an annual forum for sharing and
exchanging technical information on the Companys 8-, 16- and 32-bit PIC

microcontrollers, high-
performance analog and interface solutions, dsPIC

digital signal controllers, wireless and mTouch

sensing
solutions, memory products, and MPLAB

development systemsincluding the industrys only singular IDE

to support an entire 8-, 16- and 32-bit microcontroller portfolio.
India MASTERs is an in-depth, bi-directional exchange of technical information between Microchip
subject-matter experts and the Companys technical partners, including customers, third parties, distributor
FAEs and design partners.
There is a broad range of class offerings for 2014, to meet the growing needs of software and
hardware design engineers and engineering managers, with 31 total classes available. In addition to lecture-
based classes, there are fourteen hands-on classes that enable attendees to learn more about specific
applications by using development tools and writing code in the classrooms. Classes are available for
engineers with advanced experience or little knowledge in the concepts and basics of the technology being
discussed.
MASTERs classes cover the gamut of electronic-engineering topics, including connectivity sessions
on Ethernet, TCP/IP, USB, CAN and wireless (e.g., ZigBee

and Wi-Fi

), graphics and capacitive-touch

interface development, intelligent power supplies, firmware development, motor control, selecting op amps
for sensor applications, using an RTOS, DSP and transmitting wireless audio using Bluetooth

.
Technical training courses specifically designed for embedded systems engineers are crucial to
reducing development time, said Ramesh Babu, Microchips sales manager in India. It is critical that
embedded engineers are trained in all aspects of the environments in which they work, and that they walk

away with the valuable knowledge needed to solve todays most challenging design issues. Our annual
India MASTERs Conferences are offered with these goals in mind.
Additional activities include networking sessions between third-party partners and attendees to
discuss relevant design topics, and meeting with third-party development tool experts. The Ask the Experts
program allows attendees to ask Microchip engineers about design and development questions relating to
any of Microchips products. The Third Party Bazaar also showcases development tools that help decrease
development time when using Microchip products. In the evening of day 3, there will be a presentation on
MOST

Bus Fundamentals. These conferences also offer attendees a C Compiler for free.

Registration & Pricing Information
Entry to the MASTERs Conference courses, all class materials and meals are included in the
Conference attendance fee of Rs. 5,000. The final registration deadline is 25 November. Full details on all
