It’s no surprise that there are electronics shortages we face today. But from those disruptions to the current situation in Ukraine, it almost seems like the industry can’t catch a break. And while supply chain professionals have had to face problems over the course of their careers, it seemed to be one problem at a time. For example, an earthquake in Japan affected your capacitors or a diode issue with one manufacturer in Taiwan. Today, however, supply chain pros are faced with an unprecedented, spread-out problem that takes the issues to a whole new level.
Dive into this episode of the EEDI Podcast where we’re joined by Digi-Key Experts to discuss these shortages, combating them, and the value of specific tools that can assist and change the way we work.

Make the move to high-voltage silicon carbide with ease, speed and confidence. Microchip Technology’s new 3.3 kV silicon carbide MOSFETs and Schottky Barrier Diodes deliver advanced efficiency and reliability for your high-voltage power systems.
Unveiled last month at APEC 2022, the MOSFETs give you the industry’s lowest on-resistance of just 25 milli-ohms [mOhm], and with the Schottky Barrier Diodes, you get the industry’s highest current rating of 90 amps. Plus, you can get either of these power devices as a die or packaged.
These high-voltage power devices deliver the rugged reliability and performance you need for electrified transportation, traction power units, auxiliary power units, and solid-state transformers, as well as for industrial motor drives, pulsed power systems and energy infrastructure.
