August 22, 2011 - 'First Aid Kit - Special FPGA Edition' from EBV Elektronik and Texas Instruments Supports Customers in Solving Hardware Challenges with FPGAs

Poing/Munich -- EBV Elektronik, an Avnet (NYSE: AVT) company and the leading specialist in EMEA semiconductor distribution, has announced the release of the third edition of it's well-known First Aid Kit in collaboration with Texas Instruments. Based on TI's Analog products, this special FPGA Edition of the First Aid Kit consists of a troubleshooting box containing a description of various problems and the way to solve them, together with samples and documentation to accelerate time-to-solution implementation for R&D engineers and technicians.

"The optimisation of time and cost starts with the idea for a new product. Approximately 90% of all costs, and the majority of problems that arise later in the design process, start at the beginning stages, not at the point of buying the components," says Antonio Fernandez, director, technical marketing at EBV Elektronik. "The First Aid Kit initiative from TI and EBV is another milestone in our successful relationship. Based on the combination of TI's state of the art analog portfolio, and the know-how of EBV, the First Aid Kit is a perfect tool for all designers to solve design challenges easier and faster, reducing costs and time to market."

"TI is pleased to work with a distribution partner like EBV who knows the importance of technical support and services to help solve customers' issues with challenges at the printed circuit board level," adds Stephan C. Hartmann, corporate account manager at Texas Instruments. "Texas Instruments has the right set of Analog and Logic ICs that have helped customers worldwide for almost 60 years."

Customers who would like to receive a personal edition of the box can contact their local EBV Sales representative, or visit www.ebv.com/firstaidkit and enter for a chance to win one of 20 kits.
