Design faster, with more confidence
Engineers commonly use reference designs as a starting point for new designs, fast-tracking the proof-of-concept stage and accelerating time to market. The Avnet Americas Design Hub brings together all in one place over 1,000 free-to-use reference designs from Avnet’s FAEs and partners. Start by browsing the reference designs, then use our AVAIL tool to edit or modify the design for your application, export to your CAD tool, and convert to a bill of materials that can be uploaded to Avnet’s online stores—all within the Design Hub ecosystem.
