“Though pricing and lead times have stabilized in both the RF and analog sectors, we are seeing some troubling signs in the mobile DRAM space, particularly with LPDDR2 parts, where not all configurations and packages are well supported. In addition, EOL issues in lower-density NAND chips are putting stress on Flash supply,” said Iuorio. “Avnet shares our broad insight into technology developments through this monthly Market and Tech Trends report so that our customers have the information they need to make the most informed component choices from the very start of their design process. This helps to minimize sourcing risk and accelerate their development of truly differentiated products.”
