Avnet Abacus will make its debut at Embedded World in 2012, demonstrating embedded power solutions for diverse applications as Smart metering, LED lighting, energy harvesting, Information systems, digital imaging and wireless LAN systems. The company will also have CAN-bus interface and sensor products on display for the first time.
The emerging markets mentioned above require much more than single component approach. In solid state lighting, for example, it is important to support the LEDs with the latest, high reliability driver IC circuitry, passives and connectors in order to maximize the benefits of moving away from older, inefficient filament & fluorescent technology. Applications for energy harvesting, are so new that many approaches are currently under evaluation and designers need to see a complete systems picture before deciding on which technology is most appropriate.
