Push the boundaries of your technical knowledge!<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

Bangalore, May 27th<\/sup>, 2014<\/b> \u2013 Texas Instruments (TI) India announces the commencement of the TI MCU Design Contest<\/a> 2014 and is inviting engineers across India to push the boundaries of their technical knowledge. This contest is a national level design challenge for working professionals across India, where three teams stand to win a total of three Lakh rupees in prizes.<\/p>\n

Following the success of the first MCU design contest, TI once again presents a platform to showcase all the top engineering projects across India that display innovation, design proficiency and technical adeptness. The contest will run in three different phases that involves contestants developing designs that utilize TI\u2019s microcontrollers – MSP430, C2000, TIVA or Hercules.<\/p>\n

Mr. Seetharaman Devendran – General Manager \u2013 Microcontrollers, Texas Instruments (India)<\/i> said, \u201cOur broad range of microcontrollers powers a number of applications including designs for automotive, industrial, internet of things, energy harvesting that are greener, faster, safer and more fun. We look forward to seeing how the participants leverage the features of TI\u2019s microcontrollers to create innovative projects that can shape the future of electronics.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2012, the winning project was by a team from Maven Systems who developed a Wireless Security Hub for telecom and broadband service providers to provide value added services to their customers.<\/p>\n

The contest takes place in three phases.\u00a0 <\/b><\/p>\n

Phase I<\/b>: The contest begins on May 23rd<\/sup> 2014, across India. Participants are required to submit the project proposal by July 22nd<\/sup> 2014. Every design must include one TI microcontroller (MSP430\u00ae, C2000\u00ae, TIVA\u00ae, Hercules\u00ae platforms)<\/p>\n

Phase II<\/b>: 50 teams will be selected from the proposals that are received. These participants will need to submit the final report along with a video link demonstrating the project.<\/p>\n

Phase III<\/b>: From the 50 teams, the top 10 projects will be selected to compete amongst themselves in the final round. The top 10 contestants will also get an opportunity to display their work at TI on 23rd<\/sup> November 2014.<\/p>\n

TI\u2019s broad portfolio of microcontrollers (MCUs) and software<\/b><\/p>\n

From general purpose, ultra-low power MSP microcontrollers, to TIVA\u00ae ARM \u00ae Cortex\u2122-M microcontrollers to real-time control C2000\u2122 microcontrollers and Hercules\u2122 safety microcontrollers, TI offers the broadest range of microcontroller solutions. Designers can accelerate time to market by tapping into TI’s complete software and hardware tools, extensive third-party offerings and technical support.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
