Instrumentation & Medical Electronics The Focus Of Newark's Latest Technology First Journal
CHICAGO-SEPTEMBER 23, 2008
1,000 new products and dedicated microsite provide additional support for engineers designing solutions for growing medical sector
Committed to bringing design engineers the newest technologies first, leading multi-channel electronics distributor Newark, part of the global Premier Farnell Group, announcesthat it is offering an enhanced range of products plus print and online resources relating to instrumentation and medical applications, in recognition of the rapidly growing importance of this market sector.
The demand for developing such products as new microscopic-size instruments and portable home diagnostic equipment has been driven by the need for cost-effective preventive and medical treatments to serve the huge aging baby boomer demographic.
The latest issue of the Technology First journal tackles this application area in detail, with technical articles contributed by such top suppliers as National Semiconductor, Molex and Analog Devices. While the technical journal is mailed exclusively to Newark’s design engineer customers, an online version is available at www.newark.ca/instrumentation.
Additionally, this microsite hosts an interactive catalog plus a guide to Newark’s new product introductions, which include FPGAs, DSPs, high performance analog and displays from Texas Instruments, Maxim, NXP and other leading suppliers. The guide also contains comprehensive information to support design, including technical datasheets, manufacturer’s guidance notes, technical articles and webcasts.
“With an online version of our Technology First journal, all design engineers will have access to original technical articles contributed by top suppliers and our global technical team,” comments Paul Buckley, Senior VP, Product and Supplier Management, Newark. “We are committed to supporting designers working in this exploding sector through our leading-edge products and technical resources.”
