    WALTON-ON-THAMES, U.K.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 4, 2005--

    Demonstrations in high-performance signal processing include new Blackfin processors in automotive, industrial, medical, e-media, and audio applications

    At Embedded World 2005, Analog Devices, Inc. (NYSE: ADI) will exhibit a range of high-performance demonstrations representing industry-leading innovations that are driving emerging applications in the following market areas: automotive, industrial/medical, e-media/audio, and embedded technology. Visit ADI at Stand 316, in exhibition Hall 12, at the world's biggest embedded 'get-together', being held February 22 - 24, 2005 at the Nuremberg Exhibition Centre in Germany (Messezentrum Nurnberg).
    At this year's show, ADI will display its four new network-enabled Blackfin(R) Processors designed for embedded audio, video and communications applications, ADSP-BF534, BF536 and BF537 processors, as well as its BF566eM30 eMedia Platform. ADI will also present a variety of easy-to-use development tools, including ADI's own brand CROSSCORE(TM), as well as third-party software environments from long-time partners such as Green Hills Software or National Instruments.

    ADI "Performance Like Never Before" Demonstrations:

    eMedia: Demonstrating ADI's capabilities in multimedia, the stand will feature a demo of an Internet Protocol IP set-top box, which will be running a video-on-demand service, a multicast service, and an Internet browser.
    Automotive: In automotive, ADI will be demonstrating real-time edge detection for car driver assistance on an ADSP-BF561 Blackfin processor, and a working sample of Philips' "solid state car jukebox", ripping CDs while simultaneously providing playback.
    Industrial: Security capabilities will be shown with an AuthenTec Fingerprint recognition system based around an ADSP-BF531 Blackfin processor, which processes the recognition algorithms. Additionally, there will be a demo of the Blackfin ADSP-BF534 EZ-KIT Lite(R) development system, showing ADI's easy-to-use development environment controlling industrial interfaces such as CAN. Another EZ-KIT Lite demo will show the Blackfin ADSP-BF537 processor running with Ethernet connectivity provided by the VisualDSP++(R) 4.0 suite processor. ADI will also have two demos for its ADuC702x family of analogue microcontrollers: a remote-control telemetry application and a motor positioning application.
    uClinux - Embedded Tools: To showcase uClinux for embedded applications, there will be a demo of a networked audio/media node with a web interface, running on ADI's ADSP-BF533 Blackfin. Finally, there will be a joint demonstration between Analog Devices and National Instruments featuring ADI's brand new processor ADSP-BF537.
    Analog Devices and Green Hills Software will be partners at the show, and Green Hills Software will demonstrate on their booth the Blackfin MULTI(R) IDE environment, a set of award-winning tools for fast time to market.

    Analog Devices Presentations:

    ADI will also be presenting two conference papers at this year's show:

    1) "Software Defined Radio - a new challenge for real-time software" Forum" by Jorg Kohlschmidt, Analog Devices. In session 3: Wireless Technologies I. (Tuesday, Feb. 22, 16.30 - 17.00).

    2) "Use of Video Technology to improve automotive safety becomes more feasible with Blackfin Processors" by Michael Meyer-Pundsack, Analog Devices. In session 6: Embedded Systems in Automotive Applications II. (Wednesday, Feb. 23, 11:30 - 12:00).

    Important Note:

    ADI executives will be available for press interviews - in person at the show, and by telephone for any journalists not attending.
