With the impact of various external factors such as the pandemic and the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, global semiconductor supply chains have been thrown into chaos. System integrators face increased challenges in procurement which in turn affects their product development processes and their choice of suitable semiconductors. To address these difficulties and to ensure that clients can have a smooth system development process in the post-pandemic era, WIN SOURCE has signed a strategic partnership agreement with Supplyframe.
SK hynix Inc. announced today that it has started commercialization of the LPDDR5T (Low Power Double Data Rate 5 Turbo)*, the world's fastest DRAM for mobile with 9.6Gbps speed.
IoT applications are expanding in scope now that the technology has matured. Industrial computers that form a key part of the IoT network architecture must also continue to evolve in response to workflows and operating environments in different scenarios. The Human-Machine Interface (HMI) that serves as the bridge between users and devices requires high stability, high compatibility, and high tolerance. These attributes are essential to fulfilling system introduction goals such as improved performance and reduced costs. Industry veteran ADLINK supplies total solutions for HMI. In response to market demands, rugged display panels from AUO Display Plus have now been adopted to supply customers with HMI products that combine quality and reliability.
Looking at the overall condition of the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) market in 2023, efforts to reallocate and adjust the electronics supply chain are palpable amidst the decline in demand for consumer electronic products and the economic impact of high inflation. However, these endeavors seem powerless in reversing the domino effect created by the risks in a recessionary environment. Even though the economy has been relatively conservative, several trends reveal some optimistic news from an analytical standpoint. First, the industry is excited over the robust demand capacity for IC substrates, strongly reflecting the long-term need for advanced IC substrates brought about by Beyond fifth-generation (B5G), Artificial Intelligence (AI), High-Performance Computing (HPC), and ADAS automotive chips. These potentially high-growth segments can be seen as new blue oceans for Taiwan's PCB industry.
AMICCOM released a new generation of low current sub1-GHz wireless SOC, named A9129M0. AMICCOM continues to integrate the existing RFICs with MCU and roll-out highly integrated SOC products. The new A9129M0 SOC, like their previous generation products, come from integrating MCU with A7129, which have excellent RF performance and extremely low receiving current. The A9129M0 supports FSK modulation. This chip integrates high performance ARM Cortex-M0, built-in 128Kbyte Flash Memory, 16 Kbytes SRAM, 22 GPIOs and various digital interfaces. 2-wire ICE can be developed with Keil C.
MKS Instruments, Inc. (NASDAQ: MKS), a global provider of enabling technologies that transform our world, announced that its strategic brands ESI (Laser Systems) and Atotech (process chemicals, equipment, software, and services) will present their combined product offering of leading manufacturing solutions for printed circuit boards and package substrate manufacturing at the upcoming 24th Taiwan Circuit Board Industry International Exhibition (TPCA Show 2023), and the 18th International Microsystems, Packaging, Assembly and Circuit Technology Conference (IMPACT 2023), to be held from October 25th to 27th, 2023 at Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center.
Medical care devices are closely relevant to human health. Therefore, all countries have very stringent standards when it comes to medical devices. ASUS VivoWatch boasts "electrocardiogram application software" and "blood pressure application software," both of which have obtained certification from the Taiwan Food and Drug Administration (TFDA). The application software is the first proprietary healthcare wearable electrocardiogram and blood pressure application software researched and developed in Taiwan. Currently, the company is in the process of applying for FDA certification in the United States, and several medical institutions are working with ASUS to create various value-added services through VivoWatch. ASUS Chief Operating Officer and Global Senior Vice President, Joe Hsieh, pointed out that the interest proves the functions and qualities of the watch have gained trust in the market.
