Avnet Abacus has extended its distribution agreement with Molex to include the BittWare field programmable gate array (FPGA) product range.

BittWare is a Molex subsidiary headquartered in Concord, NH, USA, and provides FPGA accelerator products designed to increase application performance and energy efficiency in enterprise-level computing, networks, computational storage and signal processing.

BittWare products are based upon FPGA technology from Xilinx, Achronix and others and is the only vendor-agnostic FPGA supplier of critical mass able to address enterprise-class qualification, validation, lifecycle and support requirements for high-volume customers.

The BittWare product range is based around FPGA accelerator boards and their associated IP and design tools. FPGAs are intended to hardware acceleration of functions like packet processing and parallel computing in emerging data centre and AI applications.

Accelerator boards enable adoption of FPGA technology in standard card sizes, reducing hardware design effort and time to market.

Hagen Goetze, Senior Director Product Marketing at Avnet Abacus, commented: “Avnet Abacus has built up a strong, successful collaboration with Molex over the years. We are now taking on BittWare FPGA accelerators. Key areas we will address with the BittWare product range are data centres, instrumentation and NVMe storage.”
