Evaluation board simplifies IoT design process

Arrow is hosting a series of global workshops to demonstrate use of the DECA evaluation board to optimise design performance and accelerate development time.  

Arrow Electronics has collaborated with Altera, Texas Instruments (TI), Silicon Labs, Micron, Molex and Cypress in the development of the DECA board.

Featuring TI’s new HDC1000 humidity sensor and temperature sensor, DECA is a full-featured hardware evaluation board that enables engineers to reduce board area, cost, and complexity while interfacing to a multitude of sensors and interfaces.

Additionally, the board incorporates other signal chain, audio, and logic integrated circuits from TI. Coupled with a BLE/WIFI cape, both software and hardware engineers can utilise DECA to kick start an Internet of Things (IoT) design that takes integration to the next level.  

“The DECA board is the result of successful cooperation among several Arrow collaborators. It is innovative, practical and will simplify the design process for engineers,” said Chakib Loucif, vice president of engineering for Arrow Electronics. “DECA includes a comprehensive portfolio of technologies including Altera FPGA, a variety of sensors and communication protocols, enabling customers to fast track proof of concepts for their IoT applications.” 

Arrow DECA workshops offer design engineers an in-depth technical training on MAX 10 FPGAs. Attendees will receive step-by-step instructions on design techniques and tools usage. Workshops launch in Europe starting September 10, 2015. For more information and to register, visit http://www.arroweurope.com/deca
