The study of geography and climate is a fascinating one. The infinite variations in landscapes, temperature, humidity, and inclement weather patterns have the potential to keep any scholar busy for decades — especially as long-standing trends continue to evolve over time. But outside of academia, such data has numerous applications in the business world, as…
The decision to incorporate die and wafer banking into your product designs is an easy one to make if it’s in the OEM’s capacity to do so. Not only can the custom-designed ASICs assembled during production exhibit performance enhancements on par with the best modern technology has to offer, but their narrow function also renders…
OEMs across the globe in nearly every imaginable industry, in some capacity, feel the impact of obsolescence on their supply chain. The reasons for the discontinuation of critical electronic components are varied, but regardless of the many forms obsolescence takes, there remains one true constant: It is an issue that no amount of oversight or…
The current component shortage has had a profound effect in all aspects of supply chains. Suppliers’ inability to increase capacity to meet demand in the automotive and IoT markets, for example, has extended lead times to unmanageable levels. In some cases, passives for once commoditized components such as MLCCs and resistors have been reported to…
