A deal to remember for SPI flash
Under a newglobal distribution agreement, Arco is to supply GigaDevice Semiconductor’s complete range of flash memory devices. This portfolio of high speed, low-power NOR flashmemory products includes serial peripheral interface (SPI) flash, NORMCP and parallel flash.
The SPI flash family supports densities
fromfour to 256M, with a dual I/O data transfer speed of 208Mbits/s and a Quad I/O, Quad output data transfer speed of 416Mbits/s. Products are said to offer a pin, space and cost efficient alternative to parallel flashmemory for embedded, consumer electronics andmobile communication products. Typical applications include PCs, DVD, Blu-Ray, WLAN, DSL, cablemodems, printers, hard drives, set top boxes, LCD-TV,mobile phones, Bluetooth, GPS,MP3, smart meters and FPGA designs.
Arco president and co-founder, Rick
Kapoor, said: “The GigaDevice SPI flash portfolio supports a strategic growth segment in the embedded, consumer electronics andmobile communication markets. It enhances Arco’s line-up of volatile and non-volatilememory solutions, emphasizing our commitment to provide a range of new and legacy memory product solutions.”

Connectors are a perfectmatch for vibration
Interconnect distributor, Heilind Electronics, is nowstocking theMicro- MaTch connector family fromTE Connectivity (TE).With contact spacing of .050in, these signal-levelminiature connectors are claimed to be among the smallest on themarket. Several types are available, including board-to-board,wire-to- board and direct board.
Advantages of the series include a
contact designed to prevent fretting corrosion, which is the traditional failure mode in tin-plated connections. Movement caused by vibration or thermal expansion betweenmale and female contacts is absorbed by a positioning spring in the female part.

TT Electronics has expanded its North American operations in Mexicali,Mexico with new production facilities for its variable and passive components serving the defense, aerospace, medical, transportation, energy and industrial electronics markets.
The addition of approximately 68,000ft²,
along with a 33 per cent expansion of the existing factory, will facilitate new production lines and will see the company increase its local employee base.
CEO at TT Electronics, Geraint Anderson,
said: “Mexicali was a natural choice for expansion, having had success with our existing operations there. The team there has a track record of achieving the quality performance and cost competitiveness required for sustainable growth and profitability.”
Mexicali is an ideal location, situated
close to major customers as well as the supply and distribution channels in North America.

FMD's EEPROMs hit a sweet spot of the embeddedmemory space explains Digi-Key's Mark Zack
EEPROMS hit the spot
Digi-Key and FremontMicro Devices (FMD) USA have signed a global distribution agreement regarding FMD's serial EEPROMand energy efficient power management integrated circuit products.
Vice president of global semiconductor
product at Digi-Key,Mark Zack, said: “These EEPROMs hit a sweet spot of the embeddedmemory spacemaking thema great addition to our expansive offering of electronic components.”
FMD's non-volatilememory supports
the low density and embeddedmemory market with standardmemory products fromtwo to 1,024k bit densities and customer specificmemory products available on request.
President of FremontMicro Devices
USA, AlexWoo, said: “Digi-Key ships over 3.4million orders a year, has a broad product portfolio and 40 years' experience serving customer needs. It can support our customers’ design and production requirements in North America, Europe and Asia, with immediate shipment.”
