Farnell Partners with Alliance Memory

Farnell, a leading distributor of electronic components, has recently announced a significant milestone by signing a global distribution agreement with Alliance Memory. This partnership brings a new dimension to Farnell's semiconductor portfolio, offering customers access to a complete range of Alliance Memory's memory solutions.

Under this agreement, Farnell will now be able to provide its global customer base with Alliance Memory's SRAM, DRAM, embedded multi-media card (eMMC), and flash memory ICs. This move is expected to streamline the procurement process for customers and help them avoid redesign costs during end-of-life transitions for legacy products.

"The addition of Alliance Memory's extensive memory solutions to our line card is a significant development for us," says Jose Lok, a representative from Farnell. "Alliance Memory has demonstrated a keen understanding of market trends and has expanded its product ranges to meet the evolving demands of the industry, particularly in DDR3 SDRAMs and eMMC."

Through this partnership, Alliance Memory's legacy memory devices will now be more readily available to customers through Farnell's extensive distribution network. This enhanced accessibility is expected to benefit customers by simplifying the process of sourcing memory components for their projects.

Furthermore, Farnell customers stand to gain from the expertise and support provided by Avnet, Farnell's parent company and an authorized distributor of Alliance Memory products. Avnet's established ecosystem for Alliance Memory products offers customers comprehensive design, product, marketing, and supply chain support throughout the product development lifecycle.

Alliance Memory's memory solutions cater to customers who require drop-in replacements for discontinued or obsolete memory components. The company has built a reputation for delivering reliable solutions that extend the life of existing systems and equipment without the need for costly redesigns or requalification.
