Making The Pieces Fit

Distribution Series Part I
by Amelia Dalton

In the first of a series of distribution-focused Fish Fry episodes, I interview Alex Iuorio and Jeff Ittel from Avnet Embedded about how Avnet used a start-up mentality to get this new embedded division up and running. They discuss, among other things, how they see distribution playing a vital role in each step of the electronics design and supply chain. Then, in keeping with the distribution theme, I look into the ramifications of counterfeit chip production and highlight three overall challenges we face in protecting ourselves from counterfeit components.

Also, I check out the biggest news of the week and how one of three key elements of this announcement ties into the world of superheroes.

I have another Amazon.com gift certificate to give out, but you’ll have to listen to find out how you can win.

Intel's Chiplet Leadership Delivers Industry-Leading Capabilities at an Accelerated Pace

Sponsored by Intel

We're proud of our long history of rapid innovation in #FPGA development. With the help of Intel's Embedded Multi-Die Interconnect Bridge (EMIB), we’ve been able to advance our FPGAs at breakneck speed. In this blog, Intel’s Deepali Trehan charts the incredible history of our chiplet technology advancement from 2011 to today, and the many advantages of Intel's programmable logic devices, including the flexibility to combine a variety of IP from different process nodes and foundries, quicker time-to-market for new technologies and the ability to build higher-capacity semiconductors
