Components Supply Chain Management

GSAS Engineering · · 1 min read

Surprises can be fun. Surprise parties, surprise gifts and possibly surprise visits (depending on whom). Supply chain surprises on the other hand are no fun at all; they can derail your budget, deadlines, and build quality.

When electronic components become obsolete, design and production can suffer lengthy delays. With an average of 15 end-of-life notices issued every day, part obsolescence is a challenge that most engineers routinely face. In this webinar, you’ll learn about: - Introduction to IHS MarkitⓇ - Component supply information - Lifecycle status - Locate obsolete components in completed projects - Component replacement

Arm's Agentic AI Push: What Indian Embedded Teams Can Actually Use Today

Arm has set out its platform strategy for the agentic era, putting inference everywhere it has compute. Indian embedded teams can start on that direction this quarter with the Cortex-M toolchain they already own: Helium, CMSIS-NN, Ethos-U and Vela, on boards you can order today.

Automotive Ethernet Connectors: H-MTD, MATEnet, MQS

An ECU arrives on the bench with a connector nobody has a mate for, and the day is gone. Search the family names and you get connector product pages that describe their own part and stop there. This article puts the families side by side in one table using only what their public pages state, then makes the point those pages leave out: the IEEE link segment definition, not the connector, is what sets reach and loss limits, and shielding is a channel decision rather than a preference. Written by the GSAS Micro Systems engineering team in India.

CAN vs Automotive Ethernet: When to Use Each

CAN and automotive Ethernet answer different questions, so the useful comparison is a decision table rather than a winner. This guide from GSAS Micro Systems sets CAN and CAN FD figures from CAN in Automation next to the IEEE 802.3bw objectives for 100BASE-T1, covers arbitration against switch queues, cost and harness consequences, failure modes on both sides, and what changes on an India bench team's setup when a project adds Ethernet next to the CAN it already runs.
