Ultra-low-power Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are semiconductor devices engineered to deliver programmable logic capabilities while maintaining minimal energy consumption. Unlike traditional FPGAs, these solutions are specifically optimised for energy-sensitive environments, making them highly suitable for battery-operated systems and Edge computing applications. The increasing focus on energy efficiency, sustainability, and compact device design has positioned
Avnet has posted Q3 sales of $7.1 billion, an increase of 34% year-on-year and 13% sequentially. Commented Avnet Chief Executive Officer Phil Gallagher (pictured): “Sales and earnings exceeded our expectations, with double-digit sales growth both sequentially and year over year. Our team is executing well, driving improved operating margins and leverage, supported by continued disciplined
Modern AI and high-performance computing workloads require tremendous amounts of information to be transmitted at enormous speeds between chips, servers, and racks. Traditionally, this has been done with copper wiring over longer distances, but the current generation of architectures has been pushing the physical limits of what copper can achieve, and the industry has been
Artificial intelligence is consuming a growing share of the world’s memory supply, leaving electronics manufacturers across industries facing longer lead times, rising prices, and increasing uncertainty, according to a new report released from the Global Electronics Association. The report, The Memory Squeeze: How AI-Driven Capacity Reallocation Is Reshaping Memory Supply for Electronics Manufacturers, highlights a
Electronic System Design (ESD) industry revenue increased 10.3% to $5,466.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 from the $4,955.2 million registered in the fourth quarter of 2024, the ESD Alliance, a SEMI Technology Community, announced in its latest Electronic Design Market Data (EDMD) report. The four-quarter moving average rose 10.1%, based on a comparison
Photonic integrated circuits (PICs) are optical systems fabricated on semiconductor wafers, allowing complex optical processes to be performed on a chip-scale device. PICs have enabled a range of applications, notably as optical transceivers for high-speed communication within AI data centres, where they are widely used as the backbone of communication across servers to train the
In recent days, the headlines of most technology titles have been dominated by the perfect storm that has led to a global shortage of Random Access Memory (RAM). As the short-term, temporary memory that handles data for processing and applications, RAM – and specifically Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) – is a foundational business technology.
Yole Group announces the release of the Status of the Semiconductor Foundry Industry 2026 report. Yole Group’s annual report on the semiconductor foundry industry provides a comprehensive and updated view of the global manufacturing landscape shaping the semiconductor ecosystem. The foundry report examines the structural transformation currently underway in semiconductor manufacturing. Over the past few
Since early 2026, some parts of the semiconductor market are recovering, while other device categories continue to experience constraint. Avnet Silica’s Q1 2026 Trendliner report reflects this uneven picture, highlighting sustained demand in selected automotive and AI-linked segments, alongside extended lead times in parts of the memory market. This divergence means supply conditions vary depending
