COVER STORY

Do we really need to prototype anymore?

Some engineers prototype and some don’t. Explore both sides of the debate in our cover story. Could it change your mind?

Welcome to our prototype about prototyping

What’s Next is Avnet’s new e-magazine, written to deliver the right combination of content wrapped in a great user experience.

Meet Avnet’s technical advisory board

Our team of Avnet engineers from around the globe share what works, what doesn’t and what’s next in technology design and innovation.

FAE Roundtable: Hello, World!

If you could ask six FAEs what they think about prototyping, what do you think you would hear? Well, we did ask, and what they said may surprise you.

Tales from the Field: A shortcut to save days costs weeks instead

Desperate to make up time in the schedule, an engineer discovers that skipping steps in the testing protocol can wind up coming back to bite you.

New product introductions

Did you see the latest new product introductions from Avnet and our supplier partners? Don’t worry, you can catch up using our interactive reference design.

Beyond the datasheet: What is HW-RTOS?

You may already use an RTOS in your embedded designs, but did you know some microcontrollers now use hardware acceleration to make critical RTOS functions execute even faster?

Get ready to replace your prototype with a virtual model

Is it real or is it virtual? Is it both? If it’s good enough, does it matter? When it comes to virtual prototyping, you probably have many questions. We explore some of the answers.

When your next tractor is a Tesla

Compared with passenger vehicles, the challenge of electrifying ag equipment is even more daunting. Our engineer explains why.

The benefits of SiC technology over Si are hard to deny

SiC will soon overtake Si as the dominant semiconductor material for power devices with a voltage rating higher than 600V. We examine the reasons why.

How engineers crowdsourced an EV fire detection solution

By shipping prototypes to hundreds of customers and collecting data early on, Amphenol cut development time for its gas sensor modules in half.

Infographic: Prototyping with off-the-shelf boards

Single-board computers provide developers a great starting point in new product development. Our survey shows how they are used most often.

Infographic: Pulse on the semiconductor shortage

As the chip shortage drags on, OEMs say finding parts continues to be a challenge.
