| Indiana LinuxFest is a community F/OSS conference, which is showcasing the best the community has to offer in the way of Free and Open Source Software, Open Hardware, and Free Culture. We are also highlighting the best and brightest from all of these communities from the hobbyist to professional level.
 
 
 
I'll be presenting at this on Saturday afternoon.

'''Digital in Analog Designs'''
 
When incorporating digital into analog and mixed-signal designs, the standard methods of design, validation, and testing simply don’t work well.  The circuits are often partially or fully asynchronous and test coverage is often much less than we would like.  These problems will be presented with some insight into how digital designers could solve these problems in their designs.
