As the semiconductor supply chain becomes a critical issue for business safety and continuity, global electronics distributors are reportedly strengthening their semiconductor portfolios.

element14 announced today that it has strengthened its semiconductor portfolio by signing a new global distribution agreement with Analog Devices, Inc.

element14 emphasized its ability to rapidly deliver a portfolio of analog devices, including the latest releases. The expanded product line supports design engineers who are bringing new solutions to the aerospace and defense, automotive, communications, consumer, data center, energy, industrial automation, instrumentation, and digital healthcare markets.

Analog Devices' broad portfolio of analog signal, mixed signal, and digital signal processing is suitable for a wide range of electronic equipment used in sensor interface and precision technology applications, as well as 5G, the Internet of Things (IoT), cybersecurity, radar systems, and RF solutions.

element14 now includes a diverse range of analog devices. The mixed-signal lineup includes amplifiers, ADC and DAC converters, analog switches, comparators, and analog functions, while the power management portfolio includes battery management, DC/DC converters, voltage regulators, LDOs, LED drivers, controllers, and power management integrated circuits (PMICs).

The interface includes transceivers, receivers, interfaces, drivers, and special function products, and includes RF amplifiers and modules for radio frequency (RF), various sensors such as temperature and optical sensors, and embedded systems such as microcontrollers and digital signal processors.

element14 said, “We are confident that by combining our superior product and distribution expertise through partnerships combined with our digital marketing and commerce platform, we will be able to meet market demands and drive customer success.”

“Our new distribution agreement with element14 will make our products more accessible to our existing customers, as well as to engineers around the world,” said Bryan Tallman, vice president of Revenue, Strategy and Operations at Analog Devices. “The power of the element14 community, regional technical and customer support, and robust distribution network were key drivers in leading to this new global partnership.”

“We are committed to strengthening our global product portfolio and Analog Devices is uniquely positioned to drive innovation across key markets with high quality, integrated solutions,” said Simon Meadmore, Vice President, Product and Supplier Management, element14. “Analog Devices and element14 are working together to deliver success across a range of technologies, projects and applications.”“Inha can provide customers with capabilities and integrated services,” he said.

Meanwhile, element14 also stocks over 21,500 devices from legacy brands Maxim Integrated and Trinamic.

element14 supports design engineers by offering a wide range of products within its comprehensive semiconductor portfolio. Customers also have free access to online resources, data sheets, application notes, videos, webinars, 24/5 technical support, and shipment tracking.
