Arrow is offering customers in the UK, Eire and the Nordic and Baltic countries the opportunity to use certain semiconductor development tools free-of-charge for 28 days.
Dubbed the "Testdrive" programme, it will make available a number of evaluation kits, development boards, reference designs and other tools.
The list of semiconductor vendors taking part includes Analog Devices; Atmel; Cree; Fairchild Semiconductor; Freescale Semiconductor; International Rectifier; NXP Semiconductors; National Semiconductor; Texas Instruments; STMicroelectronics and Toshiba.
According to David Spragg, v-p engineering and marketing, Arrow Technology Solutions, the aim is to address "critical design questions as early as possible in the development cycle and prior to committing precious budget to unproven architectures."
Richard - Arrow is an aggressive innovator, constantly coming out with numerous tools for both engineers and buyers. Where would you rank them against the other leading distributors? What criteria would you use?
Thanks,
John
