An adequate and appropriate supply of power is a requirement for every piece of electronics equipment. Sometimes you need AC-DC and/or on-board DC-DC power to drive industrial, communications, healthcare or lighting systems. Other times you need to maintain long-term power in a portable or remote sensor as part of an Internet of Things (IoT) solution.
However your design is powered, Avnet Abacus can provide market leading end-to-end-support for your application, from prototype to production and every step in between.
