“We are committed to strengthening our global product portfolio, and Analog Devices is uniquely positioned to drive innovation across our key markets with high-quality, integrated solutions,” says Simon Meadmore, vice-president of product and supplier management at element14.
The new partnership with element14 will offer fast delivery of the Analog Devices range, including the latest innovative products. The broad portfolio of high-performance analogue, mixed-signal, and digital signal processing integrated circuits is suitable for many types of electronic equipment, helping design engineers to create new solutions for a variety of industries, including automotive, communications, consumer, data centres, and industrial automation.

New products from Analog Devices now stocked by element 14 include: 

  • Mixed signal: Amplifiers, ADC and DAC converters, analogue switches, comparators, and analogue functions
  • Power management: Battery management, DC/DC converters, voltage regulators, LDO, LED drivers, controllers, and power management integrated circuits (PMICs)
  • Interface: Transceivers, receivers, interface, drivers, and special function products 
  • Radio frequency (RF): RF amplifiers and modules
  • Sensors: Temperature and optical sensors
  • Embedded: Microcontrollers and digital signal processors 

“In addition to this, the inclusion of legacy products from Maxim Integrated and Trinamic will assist design engineers in extending the life expectancy of existing products, helping to reduce the risk of early obsolescence,” says Simon Meadmore. “Together, Analog Devices and element14 can offer customers the capability and integrated services to help drive success across a wide range of technologies, projects, and applications.”
Analog Devices combines analogue, digital, and software technologies in a broad portfolio of high-performance analogue, mixed-signal, and digital signal processing integrated circuits designed for many types of electronic equipment, including 5G, Internet of Things (IoT), cyber security, radar systems, and RF solutions.
Bryan Tallman of Analog Devices says the new distribution agreement with element14 will increase the availability of its products for existing customers and also make them more accessible to engineers around the world.
“The power of element14’s element14 Community, regional, technical, and customer support services, [and] robust distribution network were key drivers in establishing this new global partnership,” he said.
element14 offers an extensive range of products in its comprehensive semiconductor portfolio to support design engineers. Customers also have free access to online resources, datasheets, application notes, videos, webinars, 24/5 technical support, and accurate traceability.
Analog Devices’ selected range of market-leading products is now available for fast delivery from element14 in APAC.

Turning back time – a waterwheel replica

23 October 2026

When a Marlborough farmer with a passion for history took to his stream with a digger, he knew what he was looking for and came up trumps. John Walsh, of Woodbourne Farm, near Blenheim, was searching for remains of the waterwheel that powered the province’s first flour mill in the mid-1850s.
The concrete weir, although breached in a couple of places, was still standing on the Mill Stream, along with rusty debris from the metal operating system. The waterwheel itself had rotted away, save for two blades (or paddles) and a portion of the rim, but when John went digging below the weir, he unearthed the wheel’s wooden hub virtually intact.
“There was enough left to make a pattern from which to build a replica,” says John, who runs a private museum on the property, Woodbourne Homestead and Historic Farm, which is a NZ Heritage-registered site.
The waterwheel had been built for the original landowner, Henry Godfrey, by the Barton Brothers, who were early bridge builders in Marlborough. “These structures were built by the finest-quality tradesmen,” says John. But despite the workmanship, the water-powered mill operated for less than two decades, closing in 1873. Unlike the gentle streams of England, the meandering Marlborough creek could turn from a trickle to a torrent in a matter of hours. “It wasn’t a hugely successful site,” says John.

Create a classy TV stand

15 October 2026

This television stand has been designed for a flat-screen 32-inch television and has also been designed to be made with minimal tools, enabling the weekend warrior/hobbyist to make it in not much more than a day. You certainly do not need advanced skills to make it. To complete it in a day, the glueing up of the timber will need to be done the day before, and obviously the stain and varnish will need to be done over several days.
While I have the equipment in my home workshop to machine the timber, I want to stress that this television stand could be made in the home workshop or garage with little in the way of tools. For example, you could ask the timber yard to dress the timber for you (you might even find the sizes you require already dressed at the big shed DIY stores), and all the cutting could be done with a handsaw.

Preserving the tools of yesteryear

29 September 2026

Collecting and preserving tools and machinery used by generations gone by is a passion and obsession for many sheddies. There’s nothing like using the shed for a restoration project on something that was made to last. Getting up close to the work of craftsmen and tools made with pride.
Our mainly rural pioneering past has meant bygone equipment is often left lying about and rusting in old farm sheds or thrown out at the tip but sometimes reverently collected and restored by people who care.
One of these is farrier Kevin Schimanski of Wanganui. A lifetime of shoeing and riding horses has kept Kevin pretty fit. Aged 78, he still shoes horses and enjoys getting into the saddle to play polo.
