The Future of Wireless Connectivity
In the ever-evolving landscape of wireless connectivity, staying abreast of the latest advancements is crucial. Join us as we delve into the forefront of innovation, spotlighting three key pillars shaping the future of wireless communication: WiFi 6, Bluetooth, and the emergent standard, Matter.
How is AI Changing the Electronics Industry?
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) have created an inflection point in product design. For two decades we have seen an exponential increase in data creation. The Internet of Things (IoT) is a big part of that, but companies like Avnet Silica have been creating their own data for much longer.
Now, AI and ML are providing a viable way to make more use of it.

Microchip Power-Efficient PoE PSE ICs
The PoE Team at Microchip has been developing PoE solutions for over 25 years. Over time, they have contributed to the IEEE Ethernet standards for PoE and developed several IEEE 802.3af/at/bt-compliant PoE ICs and systems. Building on the success of their previous solutions, they are now introducing their seventh-generation PSE chipset with enhanced power management and surge protection features to reliably power PoE switches, PoE midspans/injectors and wireless routers.
Nordic Semiconductor nRF5340 Audio DK
The nRF5340 Audio DK is a development kit for Bluetooth LE Audio applications. It contains everything needed to get started with development. The DK includes the nRF5340 System-on-Chip (SoC), two 3.5 mm audio jacks for line in and for headphones out. The kit can be used in different configurations. It can function as a USB dongle to outout or receive audio data from or to a connected PC. It can act as a headset with a microphone and speaker. It can also serve as an earbud in True Wireless Stereo (TWS) applications or a broadcast receiver. For most use-cases, we recommend using two or more DKs.

"This quarter is very similar to the previous one. Except for some memory product families such as DRAM, eMMC and NAND Flash, we see a pricing and lead time stabilisation, suggesting we are at the bottom of the market downturn.
We invite our customers to make the most of the short and stable lead times currently available, as we believe market forces will generate subsequent uplifts. Beside the natural cycle, macroeconomic influences are still creating an impact, such as the recent earthquake in Taiwan. This can lead to uncertainty within the industry, further aggravating potential supply restrictions.
Investments, stimulated by previous severe constraints, have led to the construction of the 3rd fab in the US, reinforcing continuity of availability, with initial products expected to come off the production lines 1st half of 2025."
