Electronic Specifier, Europe’s premier publisher of information resources to the global electronics industry, announced last week, that it has acquired a 50% stake-holding in Hardware Pioneers, a growing community of thousands of startup founders, executives, engineers and developers operating in the IoT sector.

Alliance Memory is making it easier for its customers to find any DRAM memory chip in its extensive offering - including scarce allocated devices and uncommon packages and densities - with a new website that shows part inventories at worldwide distributors such as Avnet, Digi-Key, Future, and Mouser.

The regulatory requirements surrounding mission-critical and non-mission critical rolling stock power supplies are paramount to application safety, but ready made solutions are available to meet these complex standards.

Avnet has acquired Dragon Innovation as it seeks to expand its portfolio of offerings for customers as they move from design to prototype to volume production. Dragon Innovation’s process and deep hardware experience help customers understand manufacturing costs and schedules, find factories and manage production as they scale their businesses.

Sensor fusion is an intriguing idea: if data from more than one sensor can be combined in the right way, the combined data can be more accurate, more reliable or simply provide a better understanding of the context in which the data was gathered. It is perfectly possible to combine data from two or more (or in fact, lots of) sensors to produce extremely rich, context aware data that eliminates the limitations in range oraccuracy of the individual...

John Jones, Director of Innovation at Avnet Silica, discusses some of the challenges and choices in developing systems and applications for the Internet of Things (IoT), and how the Visible Things platform can enable fast and easy development of secure, scalable edge-to-enterprise solutions for a multitude of industrial applications.

Avnet Abacus is extending its distribution agreement with Panasonic to include RF and wireless module based products and technologies which cover all the latestcommunication protocols with ready-to-use modules for Bluetooth, Bluetooth Low Energy and Wi-Fi. The focus is to help companies shorten their development cycle and gain faster time-to-market.

Most modern power conversion topologies use switched-mode techniques for highest efficiency and smallest size and cost. Inevitably, switching noise is produced and output filters are required to minimise EMI and provide reliable operation of the power converter and load. This article looks at the effects of noise and some of the filtering techniques that can be used.

In applications from the simplest cell-phone charger to grid-tied inverters operating at hundreds of kW, power conversion schemes are used which incorporate an intermediate stage where energy is processed at DC. A ‘DC-link’ capacitor is fitted at this point to provide a low impedance path for high frequency switching currents and to provide energy storage.

The threat of explosion is real in many industrial applications, from petrochemical refineries and cleaning facilities to flour silos and even landfill sites. While explosion is a hazard anywhere there is a flammable substance in the atmosphere in the form of gas, vapour or dust, the presence of the flammable substance on its own is not enough to trigger an explosion.
