Evaluation Engineering just published my article on detecting Counterfeit ICs

Evaluation Engineering just published my article on detecting Counterfeit ICs during this chip crisis.

“Fake” chips present a huge issue for manufacturing companies trying to source ICs from non-traditional channels. With the current worldwide chip shortage, manufacturers are desperately scrambling to keep their production lines going for electronics goods and automobiles. One solution many companies are turning to is the so-called “gray market” – non-authorized suppliers of obsolete and excess component stocks. While this can be a quick fix, it presents a problem that is challenging to detect and eliminate – that of counterfeit ICs.
