Stattdessen kann eine z. B. passive Bauteile sind, können geeignete Ersatzbauteile Tochterkarte die den All-Programmable-Baustein enthält noch relativ einfach gefunden werden. Wenn die abgekündigte zur Baugruppe hinzugefügt werden, wobei die Ein- und Komponente jedoch wesentlich komplexer ist, wie z.B. ein Ausgänge direkt auf die Anschlüsse des abgekündigten Mikroprozessor, logische Funktionen oder Mikrocontroller, Bausteins verdrahtet werden. ist das Finden eines geeigneten Ersatzbauteils deutlich Wenn es um die Emulation komplexer Funktionen in einem schwieriger. Der Austausch dieser hoch entwickelten CPLD, FPGA oder SoC geht, um eine komplexe Funktion wie Komponente in einem Design kann sehr kostspielig sein einen Mikroprozessor nachzubilden, gibt es verschiedene und potenziell eine vollständige Neuentwicklung der Wahlmöglichkeiten. Die Funktion kann entweder mit Elektronik in Hard- und Software erfordern. Der Einsatz einem der ARM-A9-Prozessorkerne im SoC oder mit von programmierbaren Bausteinen mildert nicht nur einem MicroBlaze- oder PicoBaze-Softcore in einem FPGA diese Problematik ab und erlaubt es den Entwicklern die nachgebildet werden. Das Nutzen dieser Methode erfordert Bausteinabkündigungen zu adressieren, sondern reduziert nur, dass die Softwareapplikation für den ausgewählten auch die Kosten und Komplexität der Lösung.

Eine zweite Möglichkeit ist Die All-Programmable-Bausteine von Xilinx werden es, den abgekündigten Prozessor in der programmierbaren beispielsweise in einer umfangreichen Palette an Logik nachzubilden und die Originalsoftware darauf unterschiedlichen Bausteinen-Typen mit unterschiedlichen ablaufen zu lassen.

  • Global Distributors Enjoy Double-Digit Growth in 2018
    -- / -- Was 2018 the 'Good Old Days'? In the electronics industry, fortunes can turn on a dime. After two years of component shortages and soaring demand, the supply chain hit “pause” in 2019. The market dramatically softened at the beginning of the year and has been trending downward since. Electronics distributors enjoyed a robust 2018. Among leaders in North America, 27 distributors posted double-digit sales growth. In the global market, some did even better. Expectations of more electronics content in cars finally reached fruition, and latest- generation consumer devices gobbled up resistors, capacitors and other commonly-used components. Fast forward to 2019. Avnet Inc., North America’s No. 2 distributor, reported its fiscal Q4 sales declined 7.5 percent from the prior year; No. 1 Arrow Electronics Inc.’s calendar Q2 sales declined 1 percent. Distributors cited margin pressure, softening demand and global trade tensions as headwinds. But 2018 saw strong growth over multiple industry sectors: military/aerospace, industrial, medical and transportation. Automakers’ demand for capacitors contributed to MLCC shortages in 2018, although distributors said they were able to support customers’ demand. Capacitors may be the bright spot in an otherwise soft 2019 market: TTI’s Jeff Ray, in a September TTI Insights article, said MLCCs “appear” to be more readily available than they were in 2018. “Given these supplies, one could almost assume that the risk to manufacturers’ supply chains has subsided,” Ray said. “That simply isn’t the case.” MLCC makers, in 2018, began to shift capacity away from certain case sizes and capacitance ranges. This pressured supply during the year.

Main Street, Mansfield, TX 76063, USA (817) 804-3800 Main www.mouser.com For Immediate Release Mouser Congratulates Winners in “Create the Future” Design Contest October 6, 2015 – Mouser Electronics, Inc., the global authorized distributor with the newest semiconductors and electronic components, applauds the winners of the 2015 Create the Future Design Contest. The Grand Prize of $20,000 was won by AortixTM, a catheter-deployed heart pump intended for long-term treatment of chronic heart failure. It was developed by Procyrion, Inc. of Houston. As it did in 2014, Mouser is a major sponsor of the annual Tech Briefs Media Group “Create the Future” Design Contest, a global challenge to engineers and students to create the next great thing. Mouser was joined in the 2015 sponsorship by its valued partners Analog Devices and Intel. The winners will be recognized at an awards dinner on November 6th in New York City. The contest attracted more than 1,100 innovative ideas from engineers and students in 60 countries. “Thinner than a pencil and only 6 centimeters long, AortixTM has the potential to become a low-risk circulatory assist device for a broad range of patients,” said Omar Benavides, leader of the Procyrion team that won in the medical category to capture the Grand Prize overall. The Grand Prize was chosen from the winners in seven categories. The other categories and winners are: Aerospace & Defense – An ultra-small, low-cost hazardous gas detector using novel chip-scale chemical sensor technology. It was developed by a team headed by Nichole Sullivan of N5 Sensors, Inc.
