2009-06-22 Arrow Electronics and Atmel Launch Design Contest with AVR® Processor
Arrow Electronics, Inc. and Atmel® Corporation, are launching the "Design Smarter with Atmel AVR® Processors" design contest. Entrants can submit their embedded designs using Atmel's 8-bit AVR Flash Microcontroller for a chance to win a new Smart Car and showcase their innovations at the Embedded Systems Conference (ESC) Silicon Valley 2010.
The "Design Smarter with Atmel AVR Processors" contest runs now through Oct. 30, 2009. Entries will be judged on designs that maximize the benefits of the 8-bit AVR Flash Microcontroller, including high performance and low-power consumption. Additional judging criteria include uniqueness of application, usefulness, technical skill, design complexity and cost efficiency. Bonus points will be awarded for designs that incorporate touch-sensing functionality using Atmel's family of touch-sensing products.
The three elected winners will be flown to ESC Silicon Valley in April 2010 to present their designs to be considered for prizes.
Atmel's AVR family of processors delivers performance with a single architecture that works across a range of applications, including motor control, USB connectivity and remote access control. When combined with Arrow's services and technical expertise, AVR processors can help customers cost-effectively refine and improve their product offering and bring products to market faster. |
