John Bowman, added: “This award is testament to the great working
relationship between Anglia and Panasonic. We’d like to thank the team at Panasonic for their continued support and are extremely proud to have been awarded their UK Distributor of the Year Award.” Anglia were appointed as an
authorised distributor for Panasonic in 2000. Anglia promotes Panasonics full portfolio of capacitors, resistors, inductors, switches, thermal materials, circuit protection, sensors, batteries and wireless connectivity devices. Application design support is provided alongside UK based inventories for the most popular product ranges.

RS IS GIVING AWAY RS PRO TEST-BENCH PRODUCTS
RS Components (RS), is supporting the latest Arduino design contest with RS Pro test-bench products, specifically, an RS Pro oscilloscope and an RS Pro soldering station are among the range of competition prizes available. The contest, ‘Give your project a voice with Sigfox’, the initial stage of the Arduino competition involves contestants coming up with innovative ideas for projects based on the Sigfox LPWAN (low-power wide-area network) connectivity standard for the IoT (Internet of Things). The deadline to submit an idea, via the Arduino Project Hub, is 15 September 2017. Shortly after this date, entrants submitting the best ideas – the top 30, chosen by Arduino – will receive a coupon for the Arduino MKR FOX 1200,
plus a two-year subscription to Sigfox services. The MKR FOX 1200 is a small, yet powerful board that combines Sigfox connectivity with the functionality of the Genuino Zero board, which integrates Atmel’s SAMD21 32-bit ARM Cortex M0+ based microcontroller. The board will enable entrants to proceed to the next stage of the competition – the more detailed project
design phase – and use of the MKR FOX 1200 will enable their projects to be fully connected and tested. Coupons for the boards will only be sent if entrants are based in countries covered by the Sigfox network. Project submissions based around the MKR FOX 1200 board will need to include: a detailed description of
the project; high-quality images or potentially video demonstrations; clear instructions; the bill-of-materials and schematics; source code, ideally written on the Arduino Web Editor; and CAD files, if applicable. The deadline to submit completed projects is 15 November 2017. Those engineers and makers who are already owners of the Arduino MKR FOX 1200 can enter the project design stage of the competition immediately.

platform based on a 300K logic element PolarFire FPGA with DDR4, DDR3 and SPI-flash memory. The onboard FPGA integrates reliable non-volatile FPGA fabric, 12.7Gbps transceivers, 1.6Gbps inputs and outputs (I/Os), high performance, hardened security IP, and crypto processors. The silicon features power optimisation with the lowest static power for mid-range FPGAs, while the Flash*Freeze mode yields good standby power. The kit includes SMA connectors for testing
the transceiver channel, high pin count FPGA mezzanine card, x4 PCIe edge connector, dual Gigabit Ethernet connectors, and programming using an on-board embedded FlashPro5 programmer.

Rutronik has added the TCQ series conductive polymer chip capacitors from AVX to its portfolio, which are designed for automotive applications. Qualified to the Automotive Electronics Council’s AEC- Q200 specification for passive components, they meet the AEC’s 125°C lifetime stability test and humidity bias testing at 85°C and 85% relative humidity for up to 1,000 hours. Operation temperature ranges from -55°C to 125°C. These capacitors offer a conductive polymer electrode and have a benign failure mode under recommended use conditions.

TINY OPEN SOURCE ELECTRONICS AVAILABLE GLOBALLY FROM DIGI-KEY
TinyCircuits’ selection of small-size open source electronics, including the TinyDuino, is available for immediate shipment worldwide through Digi-Key Electronics, as a result of to a new distribution agreement between the two companies. “We are excited to partner with
Digi-Key to bring the TinyCircuits platform to electronics professionals worldwide,” said Ken Burns, President of TinyCircuits. “Digi-Key is the go-to place for getting quality electronic components rapidly – a feature heavily used by engineers in all stages of

product development – and adding our products will allow engineers and product designers to rapidly test out concepts and develop products more quickly and efficiently.” TinyCircuits’ main product is the TinyDuino, an Arduino-compatible
platform the size of a US quarter. This platform is completely modular and works like tiny electronic building blocks, so users can easily add complex functions, like GPS, Wi-Fi, motor control, or graphics displays to projects just by plugging the expandable modules (called TinyShields). Applications include Maker projects, IoT, prototyping, and educational learning. “The quick miniaturisation of Arduino-compatible projects through a
simple connector interface as well as the ability to rapidly create prototypes and test new concepts will allow engineers, designers, and makers to get their products to market faster and easier,” said David Stein, VP, Global Semiconductors at Digi-Key.
