US makers of semiconductor manufacturing equipment had $2.03 billion in billings in March, says SEMI. The March figure  is 2.6%  higher than February’s  $1.97 billion, and 69.2% higher than the March 2016 billings level of $1.20 billion. “March billings reached robust levels not seen since March 2001,” says SEMI’s Dan Tracy,  “the equipment industry is clearly …

The AWS Service Delivery Program helps AWS customers find qualified APN Partners that have demonstrated the ability to provide expertise in a specific service or skill area. AWS Service Catalog partners help create catalogs of IT services that are approved by the customer’s organization for use on AWS. With AWS Service Catalog, customers and partners can centrally manage commonly deployed IT services to help achieve consistent governance and meet compliance requirements while enabling users to self-provision approved services.

You can now attach or replace an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role to your existing Amazon EC2 instances in the AWS GovCloud region. 

Starting today, the AWS Price List API can return product and pricing information for specific AWS services and regions. Previously, the API returned product and pricing information for a service for all AWS regions at once. You can now create more precise requests that return product and pricing information for the AWS service and region of interest.

For example, using this API you can get the product and pricing information for Amazon S3 in the us-east-1 region:
https://pricing.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/offers/v1.0/aws/AmazonS3/current/us-east-1/index.json or https://pricing.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/offers/v1.0/aws/AmazonS3/current/us-east-1/index.csv

AP7380 is a 1.8µA (3µAmax) quiescent current low-dropout (500mV at 50mA, 1.5Vmax at 150mA) regulator with 3.5-24V input voltage range. Output voltage is fixed, with a choice of 3.0, 3.3, 4.15, 4.4 and 5.0V, at 1% tolerance. They are all available with or without an enable pin in a SOT25 package, or without an enable pin in SOT89. …
