Did you see the referee cam during the World Cup?
During the games, many of us in the TOP-team saw it on television. And the first reaction was clear: what a great application. Not only because it gives football fans a new viewing experience, but because it shows how compact electronics can change the way we observe, communicate and understand real-time situations.
AI data centers require more than raw compute power
As rack-scale architectures become denser and more complex, reliable control-plane connectivity becomes essential for system bring-up, monitoring, configuration and service operations. The new USB UART solutions from MaxLinear are designed for demanding AI data-center architectures. Read more [Picture source: TOP-electronics on linkedin.com]

Product BOM costs are rising again, and the recent jump in memory pricing is a good example of how fast a design can get more expensive
What makes this tricky is that it is rarely just one factor. In many BOMs we see a mix of* price volatility in key semiconductors (like memory)* allocation risk and lead time swings* tariff exposure and regional supply constraints* last-minute redesigns because a “standard” part turns out not to be stable for long-term supply
