Cognex Mourns the Loss of Board Member Jerald G. Fishman
NATICK, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Cognex Corporation (NAS: CGNX) notes with sadness the death of board member Jerald G. Fishman, who passed away on March 28. He had served on the Cognex Board of Directors since 1998.
Mr. Fishman was CEO of Analog Devices, the Norwood, Massachusetts-based maker of integrated circuits (ICs) and digital signal processors (DSPs), from 1996 until the time of his death. He joined Analog Devices in 1971 and had served in a variety of management roles for the company prior to becoming its Chief Executive Officer.
“I have known Jerry for more than 15 years and during that time he has been both a trusted advisor and a good friend,” said Dr. Robert J. Shillman, Cognex’s founder and Chairman. “At board meetings, Jerry would never shy away from forcefully stating his opinion and the rationale behind it…even if it was contrary to the views of others. His suggestions, based on his wealth of business experience, helped our board make strategic decisions that contributed substantially to our company’s success.”
Dr. Shillman continued, “Cognex will begin a search for a new independent director to join the company’s board, but it will be a very difficult task to find an individual who is as smart, as experienced, as honest, as straightforward and as personable as Jerry.”

Smallest MEMS Microphone Designed for Hearing Aid Applications Features Low Equivalent Input Noise (EIN) and Power Consumption
Analog Devices ADMP801 MEMS microphone delivers 27 dBA EIN, consumes only 17 µA at 1 V supply, and is available in a 7.3 mm³ package.
NORWOOD, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Analog Devices, Inc. (NAS: ADI) , a global leader in high-performance semiconductors for signal processing applications, introduced today a high performance MEMS microphone developed specifically for hearing aid applications. When compared to legacy solutions like electret condenser microphones (ECMs), the ADMP801 is not only smaller in size at only 7.3 cubic millimeters, but also offers greater performance stability over time, temperature, and environmental changes, produces very low equivalent input noise (EIN) at 27 dBA SPL (sound pressure level), and consumes only 17 µA at 1Vsupply — a fraction of the power consumed by traditional ECMs. The ADMP801 MEMS microphone is available in a tiny surface-mount package measuring only 3.35 mm x 2.50 mm x 0.98 mm that is reflow-solder-compatible with no sensitivity degradation.

“Hearing aids represent an application ideally suited for the advantages MEMS microphones offer including small size, stability, and very low power consumption,” said Pat O’Doherty, vice president for the Healthcare Group, Analog Devices. “However, MEMS microphones have not offered the EIN performance levels that meet stringent hearing aid standards until now. The ADMP801 MEMS microphone offers noise performance, package size, and phase and gain stability that is very desirable for advanced hearing aids that incorporate beamforming to facilitate sound or voice localization.”

Analog Devices and MathWorks Collaborate to Offer Engineering Students Portable, Hands-On, Low-Cost Learning Platform
ADI University Program Enhanced Through Integration of Analog Discovery Design Kits and MATLAB
NORWOOD, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI: NASDAQ) today announced the availability of a low-cost hardware-software solution focusing on circuit testing designed for the engineering education market. This offering combines MATLAB software and Analog Devices‘ Digilent Analog Discovery Design kits, enabling students to experiment quickly and easily with advanced technologies and build, test and analyze real-world, functional analog design circuits anytime – anywhere – for the price of a textbook. The Analog Discovery Design Kit costs $99 USD. Students can access MATLAB by purchasing a MATLAB Student Version license or through a site license that may be available from their university. Watch the ADI University Program video: http://videos.analog.com/video/1875694804001/Analog-Devices-University-Program/

- Learn about MATLAB Student Version: http://www.mathworks.com/academia/student_version/
- Order the Analog Devices‘ Digilent Analog Design Kit: http://www.digilentinc.com/analogdiscovery
“The combination of MATLAB and the Analog Devices‘ Digilent design kits provides a very flexible, powerful learning solution,” said Kathleen Meehan, Associate Professor in the Bradley Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Virginia Tech. “I don’t need to maintain a traditional large lab for my engineering students. Instead, students complete experiments after class, where and when they want with the analog design kit and analyze the data and write lab reports with MATLAB.”
MATLAB and ADI Analog Discovery Integration
MATLAB and the Data Acquisition Toolbox Support Package for Analog Discovery hardware allow students to acquire signals directly from the Analog Discovery as well as filter and analyze data. This integration allows students to develop a deeper understanding of the circuits they are building and reinforces MATLAB skills they are already learning in other classes. Each Analog Discovery is the size of a deck of cards, portable and features two oscilloscopes, two waveform generators, two power supplies and a logic analyzer. The Analog Discovery is manufactured by Digilent, Inc., and powered by Analog Devices components.
