The #Memory trading volume has decreased, the overall procurement of particulate gas has not grown, and most DRAM module producers have been slow to de-stock, so the current state of the market is not favourable for trading. However, the transaction momentum in the server #DRAM #RDIMM category is rather good, primarily because the original manufacturers' contract bids are relatively high, making the spot somewhat like buying petrol. Overall, there is some variability in the spot market's rise and fall trends for different terminal items, and the real terminal demand is the only basis for assessing the subsequent price trend. Over the course of the week, #DDR4 1Gx8 2666 MT/s had a 0.21% price increase (from US$1.945 to $1.949).

High-Density Interconnect (HDI) PCB stackup is revolutionizing the electronics industry with its ability to provide enhanced performance in compact designs. HDI PCBs utilize advanced techniques such as stacked and staggered vias to achieve higher component density and improved electrical performance. Stacked vias are vertically aligned vias that connect multiple layers directly, optimizing space and reducing signal loss. In contrast, staggered vias are offset from each other, allowing for better flexibility in routing and thermal management. These sophisticated via technologies are crucial in creating reliable, high-performance circuits in modern electronics, from smartphones to automotive systems.

Sales of #Galaxy #foldables drop heavily, a cause for concern for #Samsung Samsung Electronics had the first movers advantage in the foldable #smartphone segment. Its Galaxy Z #smartphones were way ahead of the competition, but that isn't the case anymore. The company is falling behind in terms of #hardware improvements, and that has started to show up in sales charts. The sales of Samsung's foldable smartphones dropped sharply this year. According to the latest figures from market research firm Counterpoint Technology Market Research Research, the shipments of Samsung's Galaxy Z series foldable #phones dropped 42% in Q1 2024 compared to last year. Samsung dropped from the first rank to the second position in the list of top foldable smartphone brands. Huawei overtook Samsung and reached a market share of 35%. The shipments of the #Chinese brand's foldable phones rose by 257% (2.57x) compared to Q1 2023.

Strong #Memory Demand, Increased Shipments to #China Limit Revenue Decline of Top 5 #Wafer Fab Equipment Makers in Q1 2024 💡 The world’s top-five wafer fab equipment (WFE) manufacturers’ revenue decreased 9% YoY in Q1 2024 due to delayed customer investments in leading-edge #semiconductors, which were offset to some extent by strong #DRAM demand. Among these top five, ASML and TOKYO ELECTRON LIMITED revenues declined 21% YoY and 14% YoY respectively. Applied Materials, Lam Research and KLA’s revenues declined in low single digits when compared to 2023. However, when compared to the previous quarter, ASML’s revenue declined 26% while KLA’s revenue declined 5% on account of customer capacity adjustment in the advanced node. Applied Materials and Lam Research’s revenues were flat QoQ while Tokyo Electron delivered a revenue increase of 18% due to strong demand from both #DRAM and #NAND. The top five WFE manufacturers’ revenue from China grew 116% YoY in Q1 2024, primarily due to increased DRAM shipments to the country. Strong demand from mid-critical and mature nodes across applications including #IoT, #automotive and #5G will likely continue for the rest of the year.

#DS18B20+ The DS18B20 digital thermometer provides 9-bit to 12-bit Celsius temperature measurements and has an alarm function with nonvolatile user-programmable upper and lower trigger points. The DS18B20 communicates over a 1-Wire bus that by definition requires only one data line (and ground) for communication with a central microprocessor. In addition, the DS18B20 can derive power directly from the data line (“parasite power”), eliminating the need for an external power supply. Each DS18B20 has a unique 64-bit serial code, which allows multiple DS18B20s to function on the same 1-Wire bus. Thus, it is simple to use one microprocessor to control many DS18B20s distributed over a large area. Applications that can benefit from this feature include HVAC environmental controls, temperature monitoring systems inside buildings, equipment, or machinery, and process monitoring and control systems. Applications ● Thermostatic Controls ● Industrial Systems ● Consumer Products ● Thermometers ● Thermally Sensitive Systems ● Unique 1-Wire® Interface Requires Only One Port Pin for Communication ● Reduce Component Count with Integrated Temperature Sensor and EEPROM • Measures Temperatures from -55°C to +125°C (-67°F to +257°F) • ±0.5°C Accuracy from -10°C to +85°C • Programmable Resolution from 9 Bits to 12 Bits • No External Components Required ● Parasitic Power Mode Requires Only 2 Pins for Operation (DQ and GND) ● Simplifies Distributed Temperature-Sensing Applications with Multidrop Capability • Each Device Has a Unique 64-Bit Serial Code Stored in On-Board ROM ● Flexible User-Definable Nonvolatile (NV) Alarm Settings with Alarm Search Command Identifies Devices with Temperatures Outside Programmed Limits ● Available in 8-Pin SO (150 mils), 8-Pin μSOP, and 3-Pin TO-92 Packages
