Starter kit opens up industrial Ethernet applications
Availability of an EtherCAT starter kit for the development of a wide range of fast industrial Ethernet technology-based applications has been announced by distributor Avnet Silica.. Implementing the standard Ethernet data-packet format, which provides connectivity to existing Ethernet networks without special routers or switches, EtherCAT delivers highly-efficient, real-time performance enabling data insertion and/or extraction ‘on the fly...
Development platform opens way to SoC designs
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.
Input protection for switched mode inverters and converters
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.
Chip-to-chip at the speed of light
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.
Addressing vulnerability of non-IP wireless protocols
Guillaume Crinon, Innovation Technical Marketing Manager and John Jones, Director of Innovation, Avnet Silica, look at how best to provide end-to-end IoT security.
Enabling richer data for the applications of the 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.

Avnet Silica signs Silego to exclusive EMEA deal
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.
Power trends in transportation
Transportation covers a fairly broad field of endeavour, from railway systems through to hybrid electric vehicles, e-bikes, e-scooters and more besides.A focus on energy efficiency is leading to a continuous stream of technology enhancements.
Communication protocol stack cuts KNX-based product design time
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...
