/ IN THIS ISSUE/ IN THIS ISSUECOVER STORYDo 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?OPENWelcome to our prototype about prototypingWhat’s Next is Avnet’s new e-magazine, written to deliver the right combination of content wrapped in a great user experience.OpenMeet Avnet’s technical advisory boardOur team of Avnet engineers from around the globe share what works, what doesn’t and what’s next in technology design and innovation.OpenFAE 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.OpenTales from the Field: A shortcut to save days costs weeks insteadDesperate 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.OpenNew product introductionsDid 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.OpenBeyond 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? OpenGet ready to replace your prototype with a virtual modelIs 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. OpenWhen your next tractor is a TeslaCompared with passenger vehicles, the challenge of electrifying ag equipment is even more daunting. Our engineer explains why.OpenThe benefits of SiC technology over Si are hard to denySiC will soon overtake Si as the dominant semiconductor material for power devices with a voltage rating higher than 600V. We examine the reasons why.OpenHow engineers crowdsourced an EV fire detection solutionBy shipping prototypes to hundreds of customers and collecting data early on, Amphenol cut development time for its gas sensor modules in half. OpenInfographic: Prototyping with off-the-shelf boardsSingle-board computers provide developers a great starting point in new product development. Our survey shows how they are used most often.OpenInfographic: Pulse on the semiconductor shortageAs the chip shortage drags on, OEMs say finding parts continues to be a challenge.OpenWhat's Next staff & contributorsA successful prototype takes a great team.
