The electronics industry has spent the past few years learning hard lessons about supply chains. Component shortages have idled production lines, delayed product launches and forced engineers to scramble for alternatives. A single missing chip can halt an entire manufacturing run. What seemed like a rare problem became a persistent reality and companies realised that
From photolithography, etching, and deposition to assembly and testing, the equipment used to manufacture semiconductors is every bit as sophisticated as the chips themselves. It’s also incredibly expensive. The $40 million extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography machine used to make advanced microchips is the apex predator of the pricing scale. Ironically, the machines building the most
Power supplies are an integral part of every electronic project, and their selection can significantly impact the functionality and performance of the device. In this article, TME will take a look at ESPE, a company that has been supplying power supplies for various industries and applications for nearly 20 years. From consumer devices such as
