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

SuperTest Van Gogh 6.0: C23, C++23 and the C++20 Modules Gap

Solid Sands has released SuperTest Van Gogh 6.0 with more than 1,900 new tests, including 480 for C23 and 440 for C++23. The number worth your attention is a different one: GCC, Clang and MSVC each currently fail about 20% of its 173 C++20 modules tests.

100BASE-T1 Link Won't Come Up: A Vendor-Neutral Checklist

A 100BASE-T1 link that will not come up is almost never a mystery, but the answers on the web are written per silicon vendor and do not transfer. This is the ordered bring-up checklist that holds regardless of which PHY, switch or SoC you have: physical layer first, then the PHY over MDIO, then the master and slave pairing, then the causes of a link that comes up and drops. The standards and tooling claims trace to IEEE 802.3 task force records, the Linux ethtool and kernel documentation or published test material.

Automotive Data Loggers: Capture Without Loss

Search for an automotive data logger and the results split into cheap OBD dongles at one end and enterprise ADAS recorders at the other, with nothing in between explaining the engineering that decides whether you lose frames. This is the loss budget end to end: mirror oversubscription upstream of the logger, encapsulation overhead on the capture path, sustained write rate against burst rate, rotation stalls, and storage arithmetic worked in full so you can redo it with your own numbers instead of trusting ours.
