Following Intel's release of the 12th-generation Core desktop processor Alder Lake, the next-generation server platform Eagle Stream and AMD’s Zen4 Genoa will be launched in 2022. This will officially kick off the industrial applications for DDR5 memory modules, and along with this, the design and research into related products will also begin. This piece from Apacer discusses the advantages and applications of the company’s cutting-e...

Sourcing challenges in the electronics industry are nothing new – and in fact, the robustness of the supply chain often means that buyers won’t even notice the impact of natural disasters on electronics distribution. Nevertheless, since the introduction of COVID lockdown initiatives, a series of knock-on effects have occurred that have disrupted the supply of semiconductors. This piece from KIOXIA Europe discusses component manufactur...

Cadence Design Systems has announced that Arm is leveraging Cadence Liberate MX Trio Characterization to enhance the quality of its embedded memory instances and compilers and speed time to market.

Murata has introduced the BLE32SN series of chip ferrite beads. These are the world’s first chip-type noise suppression components to have 20A current rating.

TLC (triple-level cell) NAND flash has been making its way into industrial storage solutions for some years, thanks to its high storage density of three bits per cell. The ability to operate TLC in pseudo-single-level cell (pSLC) with one bit per cell, on the other hand, continues to carve out a niche existence.
