How are electronics engineers and manufacturers around the world harnessing the latest trends in everything from design to supply chain, including components availability? We crunch the numbers, dissect the opinions and provide insights you can only get from Avnet experts.
Several workarounds exist when integrated devices go end-of-life. One workaround is to emulate the part using a programmable device such as a microcontroller, CPLD or FPGA. Is this still an option during a chip shortage?
Every vertical market is feeling the impact of the chip shortage. How we deal with it now may leave a legacy. Design engineers are adept at visualizing the requirement and developing a solution, but OEMs need to look at the bigger picture.
