element14 has strengthened its mixed-signal, power management and semiconductor portfolio after signing a new global distribution agreement with Analog Devices.

The increased range will benefit design engineers creating new solutions for the aerospace and defence, automotive, communications, consumer, datacentres, energy, industrial automation, instrumentation and digital healthcare markets.

The broad portfolio of high-performance analogue, mixed-signal and digital signal processing integrated circuits by Analog Devices is suitable for many types of electronic equipment used in 5G, Internet of Things (IoT), cyber security, radar systems and RF solutions, as well as sensor interfaces and precision technology applications.

element14 is adding inventory from Analog Devices to enhance the following product categories:

• Mixed signal: Amplifiers, ADC and DAC converters, analogue switches, comparators and analogue functions
• Power management: Battery management, DC/DC converters, voltage regulators, LDO, LED drivers, controllers, and power management integrated circuits (PMICs)
• Interface: Transceivers, receivers, interface, drivers and special function products
• Radio frequency (RF): RF amplifiers and modules
• Sensors: Temperature and optical sensors
• Embedded: Microcontrollers and digital signal processors

Analog Devices vice president of revenue, strategy and operations, Bryan Tallman says the new agreement will not only provide our existing customers with increased availability but will also make its products more accessible to engineers around the world: “The power of element14’s element14 Community, regional technical and customer support services, as well as robust distribution network were key drivers in establishing this new global partnership.”
