Congratulations to our winners!
Daniel Robinson, Darrell Gloshen, Frederick Largilliere, Chris Sherwood, Stephen Salgaller.

Overview
As innovators, meet the technological expectations of our modern world through Maxim Integrated’s nanoPower solutions. Today’s devices are rapidly shrinking with an ever-increasing demand for greater functionality. Nanopower enables designers to extend a tiny device’s overall operation and shelf life through one of the best techniques available—lowering it’s quiescent current (IQ).
All About Circuits is teaming up with Maxim Integrated to giveaway a few such nanoPower-enabled products. A MAX17222 Evaluation Kit and a MAX32660 Evaluation Kit.
Giveaway Instructions
Enter the giveaway by registering below and commenting with a design idea. Five winners will be awarded one of each evaluation kits and one grand prize winner will receive the nanoPower products along with a Prusa 3D printer.
