PRODUCT SHOWCASE ams OSRAM LED devices for automotive exterior lighting Mouser Electronics is now stocking the OSLON Black Flat X LED devices from ams OSRAM. Designed for forward lighting applications, including headlamps, night vision, and laser devices, the OSLON LED devices offer high efficiency and excellent thermal conditions. The OSLON Black Flat X LED series of devices have a high focus on system cost, making them a durable, cost-­ effective option for a wide range of lighting solutions. The 3-chip version (KW3 HNL631. TK LEDs) is a high-­performance LED offering 1350 lumens at 1A. They deliver exceptional thermal performance, allowing for smaller heatsinks. They have an extremely high contrast 1:200 design as a result of black case material and TiO2 casting. The 4-chip version (KW4 HPL631. TK) is an ideal replacement for halogen lamps. Offering up to 2115lm at 1A, they are suitable for a range of automotive functions, including headlamps and low-beam and highbeam applications. The devices are housed in a 7.59mm × 3.75mm × 0.5mm package. The 5-chip version (KW5 HQL631. TK) is the most efficient lead-frame device in the OSLON series, delivering exceptional performance in automotive exterior applications, including halogen replacement. The high-­ efficiency LEDs offer up to 2140lm at 1A, and boast an operating temperature range of -40°C to +135°C.

The global survey is designed to gain direct insight from all members of the industry to understand current barriers to achieving equality and how to diminish discriminatory practices in the workforce. Key insights from the survey included: • 70% of survey respondents said they would intervene when seeing discrimination. However, the seniority of the person exhibiting discriminating behaviour was cited as the biggest obstacle to intervention. A small percentage believed they would not intervene because it is part of their company’s culture. • Women expressed the belief that they were perceived to be less technically capable than men, but this view was not supported by male respondents. • Men cited that woman “missing out on career development opportunities” was an issue. • 25% of survey respondents said they have never experienced sexism in the industry. • Other discrimination challenges cited some women as obstructing other 70 Silicon Chip women in their career progression, although the barrier was not as great as that presented by men. Self-­promotion by women was highlighted as a key issue in this year’s survey. • Genders think similarly about how to address work/life balance. With regards to pay 12% of men are less likely to say they have seen pay differentials, compared to over 40% of female respondents. • Views were similar on the enforcement of policies. However, there was an overall decrease in enthusiasm for inclusion and diversity initiatives. • More than half of the respondents said providing mentorship and development opportunities to women was important. More than 75% of women felt mentorship helped them in their careers. element14’s eight-week global survey was open to everyone working in the electronics/engineering industry. 75% of this year’s survey respondents were from Europe and North America. There was an even distribution of ages, particularly from 25 to 54 years old (at 74%), and 57% of respondents had more than 10 years of experience. element14 72 Ferndell Street, Chester Hill NSW 2162 Phone: 1300 361 005 https://au.element14.com/ Drop-in replacement for crystal oscillators Directly replace traditional quartz crystal oscillators in your most challenging designs with our robust, high-performance DSC1500 family of MEMS oscillators. The DSC1500 family delivers reliability and ruggedness in a small form factor that is ideal for industrial and portable applications. As a direct drop-in replacement for crystal oscillators, these devices also offer excellent jitter and stability with substantially lower power consumption. The DSC1500 family of MEMS Australia's electronics magazine oscillators strikes a unique balance of jitter performance, size and power consumption: 1ps RMS phase jitter with 20mW of power in a 2.0 × 1.6 millimetre package.
