element14 launches online design resource

element14 has launched Design Center, a new resource that offers development tool information alongside product details and supporting material.

This includes 360° images, videos and downloads, supplemented by stock availability and price, manufacturer details and engineer comments from element14’s community. The Design Center also includes links to supporting documentation, technical data sheets and forum posts, helping engineers make the most of their development tools and solve problems as they occur.

Developed based on customer feedback and research, the site provides an industry-leading search and select functionality by keyword and part number, filtering by manufacturer, core architecture and silicon family. Customers can purchase the development tools they require by automatically adding them to their basket on the transactional site.

Quintin Komaromy, Global Head of Strategic Marketing at element14, said: “The site already supports embedded technologies from wireless to sensing and IoT and, over time, the site will enable more content and greater functionality to support engineers throughout the design process. In addition to the Design Center, the market’s largest range of development tools and kits is also available from the element14 transactional sites for same-day dispatch to virtually any global location.”

The launch follows the recently announced volume price break structure on semiconductor and connector components, all of which support customers throughout the design process and into the prototype and production stage.

To celebrate the launch, element14 has produced a fun development kit card game.

Additionally, 24/5 live tech support is available for any queries.
