Avnet Electronics Marketing is the UK arm of Avnet Eng., the world's largest electronic component distributor. A specialist PLD group is based at Stevenage to advise customers objectively on the best implementation in terms of product, architecture, production, test and commercial issues for their specific application. Products supported range from the simplest PLDs to ASICs with 125000 gate complexities. The principal focus is on PLDs and FPGAS, which generally prove to be the most cost effective choice for volumes up to 20,000 units per year. Hardware and software support is available for the major manufacturers in this market, notably AMD, Philips and Xilinx. Enquiries are welcomed from companies of all sizes with production requirements of all sizes.
