Free 28-day access to advanced development tools

Arrow Electronics Northern Europe is offering customers in the UK, Eire and the Nordic and Baltic countries the opportunity to use the latest development tools from some of the industry’s major semiconductor vendors free-of-charge for 28 days. The Arrow Testdrive development tool evaluation programme provides customers with a risk-free solution to answering critical design questions early in the product development cycle. Testdrive allows customers to gain hands-on experience of evaluation kits, development boards, reference designs and other tools in their own lab environment prior to committing tool budget to a specific vendor’s solution and unproven silicon architectures. Testdrive provides information regarding development tool capabilities and usability; assistance in estimating function and implementation requirements; and local application and engineering support. Among the semiconductor vendors with tools available for evaluation through Testdrive are Analog Devices, Atmel, Cree, Fairchild Semiconductor, Freescale Semiconductor, International Rectifier, NXP Semiconductors, National Semiconductor, Texas Instruments, STMicroelectronics and Toshiba.
