Avnet Electronics Marketing Launches Technical Series

The Avnet Electronics Marketing Americas business region of Avnet, Inc. announces the launch of the first of three technical training sessions for medical device manufacturers featuring design solutions from Analog Devices. The first training features two On-Ramp Technical Sessions(TM) demonstrating the benefits of utilizing Analog Devices' signal processing ICs for diagnosis level electrocardiogram (ECG) measurement equipment and pulse oximetry design applications.

The sessions feature live presentations and demonstrations by Avnet subject matter experts at a customer's location. Lasting between one and two hours, On-Ramp Technical Sessions also include a product roadmap, technical overview and tool offerings.
