The board of Premier Farnell has dropped its recommendation for the Datwyler offer and transferred its affections to the Avnet offer.
Free seminar offers insight on power system design
System architects and designers of power subsystems can learn about important considerations for efficiency, heat dissipation, size, protection, and isolation in a full-day seminar hosted by Maxim Integrated Productsand co-sponsored by Maxim’s distribution partner Avnet Silica. With wide input voltages so often used in industrial, medical, communications, and other end applications, meeting power system performance and size goals is critica...
Acquisitions might not be good for everyone
With two high profile acquisitions seemingly coming to a conclusion during this month, we might well be looking at an increase in M&A activity.

Using flexible platforms to reduce cost
While many aspects of the IoT remain unresolved, if there is one certainty it is that there will be no ‘normal’. Every ‘thing’ in the IoT will likely be designed to accomplish a specific objective. And commercial pressure will demand that it achieves that objective in the most cost effective way possible. Avnet Memec Silica explain.
COM Express starter kits based on Skylake processors
Two new COM Express starter kits for Type 6 modules based on the 6th generation of Intel Core processors previously codenamed “Skylake” have been released by Avnet Embedded. The MSC C6-SK-SLH-EV-KIT001 contains the complete environment for COM Express basic modules with high-end Skylake H processors, while the MSC C6-SK-SLU-EV-KIT001 allows operation of COM Express compact modules with Skylake U processors featuring 15W computing plat...
