leaded devices. The issue of confirming RoHS compliance has been simplified considerably because instead of having to search for it, this information is now standard on most datasheets.


A significant shift in the industry is that there are now more women in what used to be a very male dominated environment, particularly in senior positions. We see


a fair number of women as business development managers (BDMs) and field application engineers (FAEs) which is a good balance in any workplace. As a woman, it would have been less likely for me to have been made a director in the industry, thirty years ago.


The future of distribution Over the past few years there has been little focus on new products. This has been because the industry has been swamped with supply issues, but new components are beginning to emerge again. It is essential that the customer engineer has specialist support to simplify the selection and designing-in of the new


As always, the distributor will need to continue to adapt to meet the changing needs of customer engineers and buyers. That must be the driving force behind each decision and every initiative which is put in place. Distribution must be able to deliver the best support for each customer, and when a customer has an issue, distribution must be at the forefront of the customer’s mind as an effective solution provider. Since COVID, many people have re- evaluated their lives, and jobs, as well as their home and work/life balance. We have also seen many of the older generation of both engineers and buyers retire or reduce their working days. Times are changing and it is vital to keep a finger on the pulse of where the industry is going and what customers need and expect from distribution. We must be here to listen to our customers and to respond to each of their needs with solutions which combine years of experience with the ability to be independent and innovative.

The Many Interfaces of PCIe® Connectivity Flexible PCIe Fanout Switch for Industrial Applications


Introducing our groundbreaking single-chip PCIe fanout switch, featuring highly integrated peripherals for seamless connectivity. This compact, yet powerful, chip boasts an embedded USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10G) host controller, 2.5G Ethernet MAC and programmable I/O, making it a versatile solution for diverse applications.


With integrated PCIe physical interfaces offering a 4-lane upstream port and a 1-lane downstream port, the PCI11xxx/PCI12xxx addresses the growing demand for higher bandwidth PCIe sub-systems in embedded applications. Delivering PCIe upstream across a single or multiple lanes accommodates varying system bandwidths.


Designed to fit on various SOM boards, including application-specific carrier boards, the PCI11xxx/PCI12xxx family is the ideal match for automotive telematics. In applications like 4G/5G connections, the down-facing PCIe port connects seamlessly to LTE modem modules, facilitating simple fanout operation and expanding connectivity for port-limited V2X processors.
