RS Components and Fairchild collaborate to offer evaluation boards

RS Components and Fairchild Semiconductor have collaborated to create a set of complete reference designs for seven of Fairchild's most popular evaluation boards.

Through this collaboration, the DesignSpark community of over 200,000 users has access to highly accurate and credible technical information from Fairchild, enabling faster design times. Consisting of full circuit schematics and PCB layouts in the industry's standard DesignSpark PCB format, these evaluation boards are now readily accessible to every engineer for insertion as ready-made blocks - with full bill of materials (BOM), pre-populated with ordering data - directly into their electronics designs.

Engineers will be able to save design time be re-using the design examples.

As a result, designers can rapidly introduce Fairchild technology with the manufacturer's recommended hardware set-up into new electronic products.

Additionally, they can freely modify the designs to suit their specific design requirements.
