June 26, 2012 Press Release  NORWOOD, Mass.--( BUSINESS WIRE)-- Analog Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADI) today named four strategic advocates to the Analog Devices University Program. Strategic Advocates serve as distinguished advisors who provide insight and guidance to the company’s ongoing mission to promote and support hands-on, active learning at engineering universities throughout the world. Launched in March 2012, the Analog Devices University Program was created with Digilent Inc. and leading educational institutions to enhance engineering students’ educational experience with portable analog design kits, course materials and online support to allow students to experiment quickly and easily with advanced technologies. Students can also use these kits to design, build and test real-world, functional analog circuits anytime and anywhere.  As
strategic advocates, the following four educators will provide the Analog Devices University Program advice and
support to develop online and downloadable software and teaching materials, online support, textbooks, reference
designs and lab projects to enrich students’ education about analog circuits and their application to core
engineering and physical science curricula.

The Digilent Analog Discovery and Explorer analog circuit design kits permit essentially all core circuits and electronics courses in electrical and computing engineering programs and electronics intensive courses to be taught without the need for any lab facilities as long as students have computers. This empowers students to apply serious electronics, controls and communications to any project anywhere and anytime, by equipping them with a portable lab no bigger than a smart phone. Recent studies show that students with unlimited access to design tools and hardware --like the Digilent Analog Discovery and Explorer design kits --consistently achieve higher academic performance than their peers.
