Compact and cost-effective is how Avnet Silica describes the MiniZed Zynq SoC development platform. MiniZed provides an entry-level development and demonstration platform for single-core Xilinx Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC devices. This cost-optimised solution supports cloud connectivity and industrial IoT applications such as motor control and embedded vision.

Supercapacitors are commonly used wherever a quick energy boost is needed, as an alternative to a rechargeable battery. The most prevalent type of supercapacitors, EDLCs (Electrical Double Layer Capacitors), providethousands or tens of thousands of times the capacitance of normal capacitors while their energy density makes them ten times smaller than batteries (more here about how EDLCs work in detail).

Today’s microprocessor-based systems require power sources that deliver high current and ultra fast transient performance, with tight regulation. This creates a need for cost effective, compact capacitors with high capacitance values. Electrolytic capacitors are the solution of choice but it’s important to go beyond specifying capacitance and voltage to consider Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) as a figure of merit.

Avnet Silica has won an exclusive agreement to distribute the product portfolio of Silego Technology in the Europe, Middle East and Africa region (EMEA). The agreement is immediately effective. Silego pioneered the development of Configurable Mixed-signal ICs (CMICs), using non-volatile memory to configure and integrate analogue, digital logic and power functions enabling design engineers to reduce power, cost, size and time to market.

A communication protocol stack, implemented in firmware, for the KNX standard for the application development of home and building systems has been announced by Avnet Silica. Designed to run on XMC industrial microcontrollers from Infineon Technologies, the new KNX Stack NGS developed by Weinzierl Engineering, delivers a fully certified platform to customers to help them significantly reduce their development time of KNX based products and system...

These days, a typical specification for a power converter starts with a list of international standards that must be met for EMC and safety compliance. The requirements for functional performance are often many pages into the document.

As data centres and data farms continue to expand and grow, better solutions are required for system architectures that allow faster communication and more efficient operation. The physical limits imposed by copper PCB traces are being reached - communication over copper is limited to around 10GBps, and at high speeds losses limit the distances to a few inches.

Stream Technologies, the company behind IoT-X, the advanced Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity management platform,and Laird have announced that Laird’s Sentrius RG1xx Long-Range Wireless Area Network (LoRaWAN) gateway is pre-configured out of the box to function with Stream’s LoRaWAN network server and IoT-X platform. Mass production and availability of the RG1xx family in Laird global distribution channels of Arrow, Avnet, Future...

The combination of data from multiple sensor types can give electronic systems much richer and more accurate information about their environment, writes Martin Keenan, Technical Manager at Avnet Abacus.

Engineers can now get hand-son with the Renesas Synergy Platform in a series of one-day workshops, the company has announced.Workshop participants will spend a couple of hours understanding the platform, see a demonstration of how quickly they can programme at the API, as well as completing their own project in one of the focus topics. At the end of the workshop engineers will take away their own Renesas Synergy S7 Starter Kit and Synergy ‘...
