New edition of 'element14 Features' offers engineers extensive range of medical electronics products and improved search capabilities.

SINGAPORE, Sept. 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- element14 (formerly Farnell), the first information portal, collaborative community and electronics store for design engineers and electronics enthusiasts, today announces the completed roll out of its medical product programme. The latest edition of 'element14 Features' offers a suite of design references, components and solutions for medical applications as well as an extensive range of medical electronics products from world-leading suppliers such as Freescale, Honeywell, XP Power and Vishay all stocked in Asia for fast and easy distribution.

"Engineers face difficulties in choosing suitable power supply products to be integrated into their medical applications and designs that comply with medical legislation requirements. element14 Features is a one-stop resource hub where engineers can find products and solutions that meet the demanding needs of the medical industry. Our improved web search capabilities now allow element14 users to sort their product searches according to medical approval standards. This enhancement will make a valuable contribution towards helping to reduce time-to-market," says Athena Wang, Regional Director of Product Marketing, element14 Asia Pacific.

Some of the product highlights from this issue of 'element14 Features' are:

  • The Freescale Kinetis K50 MCU family's enhanced monitoring and measurement capabilities are particularly important for the medical market, as medical devices transition to more portable formats. With the K50 family's ability to reduce development time and increase functionality, all while operating with extremely low power, medical designers can quickly adapt to market trends and provide the portable, connected devices that end users expect.
  • Vishay Siliconix medical MOSFETs are manufactured under strict process controls to ensure high quality and reliability in implantable applications. Every lot of Vishay medical MOSFETs undergoes enhanced quality control gates and enhanced wafer and package testing for an AQL of 0.04 %.
