To efficiently connect data and control interfaces especially with older legacy peripherals can therefore be a challenge. Nexperia’s autosense portfolio overcomes this, providing an integrated voltage translating interface that brings flexibility and can be used for both high-speed push-pull buffered and open-drain applications.

The importance of female representation in the data centre sector
Read more
There’s been talk of a skill shortage in IT of late, but that has long been the case for female professionals in this industry. With only a fraction of the UK’s female workforce operating in IT, this is a massive limitation on the potential scale of who could be qualified to work in the sector. In 2019 the proportion of female staff in tech in the UK, sat at just 16%, incredibly, this equates to the same figure as a decade before. Another eye opening statistic is that only five percent of leadership positions in the UK tech sector are held by women.
