Introduction – Understanding the Current Industrial Memory Crisis Industrial electronics manufacturers face a significant supply challenge affecting embedded storage and DRAM components essential for production continuity. The ongoing industrial eMMC supply shortage , driven by severe constraints in Kioxia BiCS5-class and equivalent 3D TLC Flash wafers , continues to create allocation pressures across all mainstream data storage products, while DDR4 DRAM  experiences parallel

Introduction – Understanding the 2025-2026 Memory Supply Crisis The semiconductor industry faces a deepening memory supply challenge through 2026, fundamentally reshaping how engineers specify and secure code storage and specialty DRAM components. Whilst global semiconductor revenue projects double-digit growth (7.1% CAGR through 2029 according to Gartner), the specialty memory market tells a contrasting story of tightening supply and increasing constraints. Three critical fa

Introduction: Understanding the Nexperia Chip Crisis The global semiconductor industry is experiencing a significant disruption centred on Nexperia, one of the world's largest suppliers of discrete semiconductors and MOSFETs. What began as a corporate acquisition has evolved into a complex geopolitical chip crisis affecting engineers and procurement teams worldwide. The crisis timeline reveals the gravity of the situation. In December 2019, China-based Wingtech Technologies c

Introduction: What are ASICs and Why Do They Matter? In an era of increasingly complex technological demands, electronic engineers face mounting challenges: shrinking device footprints, escalating performance requirements, critical security concerns, and the constant pressure to reduce power consumption. Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) emerge as a sophisticated solution to these multifaceted engineering constraints. Unlike generic, off-the-shelf integrated ci

Introduction - Why Careful OpAmp Selection Matters Operational amplifiers remain at the core of analogue design, serving as precision building blocks for sensing, filtering, and feedback control. Engineers today face the competing design priorities of speed, precision, power consumption, and voltage range - especially as sensor and control systems migrate toward higher integration and lower power.3Peak’s broad op amp lineup addresses these needs, covering rail-to-rail high-sp

Introduction – Why Magnetic Sensor Selection Matters in Smart Utility Metering Smart water and gas meters represent a fundamental shift from mechanical measurement to intelligent, connected utility infrastructure. These IoT-enabled devices must operate reliably for 10-15 years on battery power whilst detecting flow rates, preventing tampering, monitoring for leaks, and transmitting data wirelessly to utility providers. At the heart of every smart utility meter sits a magnetic
