A new global distribution agreement with Analog Devices, an international leader in the semiconductor market, has given  element14 the ability to offer its customers an increased range of high-quality products for mixed signal and power management.
“We are committed to strengthening our global product portfolio, and Analog Devices is uniquely positioned to drive innovation across our key markets with high-quality, integrated solutions,” says Simon Meadmore, vice-president of product and supplier management at element14.
The new partnership with element14 will offer fast delivery of the Analog Devices range, including the latest innovative products. The broad portfolio of high-performance analogue, mixed-signal, and digital signal processing integrated circuits is suitable for many types of electronic equipment, helping design engineers to create new solutions for a variety of industries, including automotive, communications, consumer, data centres, and industrial automation.

New products from Analog Devices now stocked by element 14 include: 

  • 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 

“In addition to this, the inclusion of legacy products from Maxim Integrated and Trinamic will assist design engineers in extending the life expectancy of existing products, helping to reduce the risk of early obsolescence,” says Simon Meadmore. “Together, Analog Devices and element14 can offer customers the capability and integrated services to help drive success across a wide range of technologies, projects, and applications.”
Analog Devices combines analogue, digital, and software technologies in a broad portfolio of high-performance analogue, mixed-signal, and digital signal processing integrated circuits designed for many types of electronic equipment, including 5G, Internet of Things (IoT), cyber security, radar systems, and RF solutions.
Bryan Tallman of Analog Devices says the new distribution agreement with element14 will increase the availability of its products for existing customers and also make them more accessible to engineers around the world.
“The power of element14’s element14 Community, regional, technical, and customer support services, [and] robust distribution network were key drivers in establishing this new global partnership,” he said.
element14 offers an extensive range of products in its comprehensive semiconductor portfolio to support design engineers. Customers also have free access to online resources, datasheets, application notes, videos, webinars, 24/5 technical support, and accurate traceability.
Analog Devices’ selected range of market-leading products is now available for fast delivery from element14 in APAC.

Soldering tips part 2: Getting the job done

21 February 2025

We touched on some simple de-soldering methods in part one of this two-part series.
Just like other workshop tools, there is more than one way to achieve it and with less damage and frustration.
De-soldering involves removing the solder from the joint to either release the component or repair the solder joint. The aim is to do this with minimal damage to either part, but since you can generally replace the component, protecting the PCB is paramount.
SMT (Surface Mount Technology) is a whole other subject, and because of the design and density of the components, different tools are required.
De-solder or rework stations consist of a box controlling a heated tip and a vacuum pump. There are many manufacturers, but I’m only going to discuss some of the ones I’ve had experience with.
While the control box may have shrunk, there is a limit to reducing the handset. The handset consists of a tube to collect the solder and filters to absorb the flux residue. The tips are hollow and reach right through into the collection tube.

A movable bench with fold-away legs

14 February 2025

Before I down-sized my workshop, I had a garage workshop area and plenty of room to have the traditional type of sawhorses or saw stools. Now I have just half of a double-garage which means the stools have to be stored out the back in all weathers.
I was looking at a sheet of 16 mm ply that was 1200 mm square and could see it would make two stools that would fold away flat and could be stored inside. They wouldn’t take up space standing permanently in the garage/workshop and they would need very little room folded away.

Waka building – Tradition goes hi-tech

4 February 2025

Architect, designer, sailor. Add lateral thinker, enthusiast and passionate Kiwi to the mix and you have the CV of a Christchurch man who has made it his mission to put Maori waka back on the water by marrying traditional knowledge with today’s technology.
Quentin Roake’s goal is to find a way to build waka in numbers, recreating the appearance and characteristics of traditional craft in a modern version that is portable, durable, and economical to manufacture.
“The big question is, how do you translate the traditional form of canoe into modern materials? You can’t cut down a big totara tree every time you want to make a canoe,” he says.
Quentin’s quest for a solution involved consultation with tohunga waka (canoe experts), including Hoturoa Barclay-Kerr and Sir Hekenukumaingaiwi (Hector) Busby, and led to Nga Waka Tangata kaupapa, a collaborative project to develop contemporary forms of waka.
