| C5000™ DSP Teaching ROM – want to sound like an alien? Ask for a free kit + ROM to update your teaching lab TI's University Program is working with expert Richard Sikora to finalize the new C5000™ DSP Teaching ROM. Twenty chapters provide you with an introduction to Digital Signal Processing (DSP) techniques including FIR filters, IIR filters, LMS adaptive filters, Goertzel Algorithm, speech compression and wavelets. This material is aimed at the beginner to DSP or the enthusiast. Complete working examples of C code are provided for each chapter which run on the TMS320C5505 and TMS320C5515 USB sticks which are priced as low as $50. There is also a fun element to the experiments – you will be able to sound like an alien or play an electric guitar with echo and phasing effects! Are you interested to update your teaching lab? Apply for a Free DSP Lab in your Pocket (C5515+Teaching ROM). Email us today at univ@ti.com for consideration. |

| Music to My Ears – Stanford course teaches Physical Interaction Design for Music using Beagleboard What do BeepinBalls, SoundFlinger, Quadrofeelia, Daft Daturn and Tub have in common? The student projects for Stanford University’s Music 250 Course “Physical Interaction Design for Music” all explore how we can physically interact with electronic sounds in real time. Using beagleboards and a lot of creativity, the course explores a series of exercises introducing sensors, circuits, microcontrollers, communication and sound synthesis and discusses what the merging of these technologies means for music and art. The student’s final projects as well as videos are loaded on the web link. Enjoy the concert! If you are interested to incorporate beagleboard – a low cost, low power, feature rich Linux-based PC platform into your lab course, please contact the TI University Program univ@ti.com |

About the WW University Program Contact Your Regional Representative
Texas Instruments established the University Program to facilitate the inclusion of leading-edge analog and digital technology into engineering research and course curricula. Knowledge of analog technologies, digital signal processing (DSP), microcontroller (MCU) and ARM microprocessors are already preferred by employers when hiring, and the ever-increasing prevalence of these technologies in the world today is fast turning that preference into a requirement.
