SKJ：at are Crystals for

　　Chips are the brain of digital circuits, and the main function of crystal oscillators is to provide precise and stable clock signals for chips, which is extremely important for control circuits, especially for chips. Clock signals can enable various circuits to complete their functions, as well as synchronize electronic devices with peripheral controller devices.　　The position of crystal oscillators in digital circuits is indispensable, so if crystal oscillators are improperly selected or applied in circuits, the problems can be countless. Perhaps because of this, once the device malfunctions, the crystal oscillator is often the first suspect. But is this the only answer?　　If the chip cannot capture the frequency signal output by the crystal oscillator, there are many possibilities, such as problems with the chip itself (selection issues, quality issues, welding issues, etc.), incorrect crystal oscillator selection (referring to the mismatch between the crystal oscillator and the chip, such as frequency accuracy, working temperature range, load capacitance selection) The crystal oscillator itself is poor (quality is unqualified, the crystal oscillator is damaged in Ultrasonic welding, the crystal oscillator is broken, and its air tightness is damaged), and the crystal oscillator is improperly used in circuit applications (including faulty soldering, too long wiring, wrong pin identification, short circuit, open circuit, wrong selection of load capacitance, improper matching of external capacitance, excessive stray capacitance interference, motor interference, power interference, etc.).　　The most frequently asked question recently is: Just touch the crystal oscillator with your hand, what's going on in a while? Is the crystal oscillator broken?　　Based on experience, this situation is generally caused by improper application of crystal oscillators in circuits. It is recommended to check whether the accuracy of the actual output frequency of the crystal oscillator meets the chip requirements after power on. If there is a serious deviation in the crystal oscillator frequency, we generally recommend adjusting the size of the external capacitor to improve it. If the problem persists, please consult Jingkexin's official website customer service to further understand some special cases.

AMEYA360:Distributors Boost Testing as Counterfeit Risks Rise

　　The risk of procuring counterfeit components always increases when electronic devices are in tight supply. Between 2021 and 2022 – the height of the unprecedented semiconductor shortage – reports of suspect or nonconforming parts increased by 35 percent, according to the ERAI, which collects data on counterfeits.　　Notably, global semiconductor sales were flat during that period.　　The reality is counterfeit components are omnipresent in the electronics supply chain. One of the most common scams is re-marking (or “blacktopping”) common or even sub-par components as pricier, high-reliability devices. Although the parts are authentic, they could fail in high-stress environments. Analog ICs, programmable logic ICs and microprocessor ICs are the most frequent targets of counterfeiters.　　Testing for counterfeit parts has been standard operating procedure at Sourceability since its founding in 2015　　Jens Gamperl, Sourceability　　Demand for component testing has increased significantly during the chip shortage despite costs — as much as $2,000 —  and delays that are incurred during the process. Testing is often outsourced and can damage sample devices. But for a portion of the distribution market, test capabilities distinguish them as trusted sources of supply.　　Independent, non-franchised distributors source from the open market where component makers, OEMs, EMS providers and other organizations sell excess inventory. Components that can’t be traced back to a factory; arrive in opened or damaged packaging; or are heavily discounted could be counterfeit. Stringent quality control (QC) has become paramount for top-tier independents.　　However, testing has created a backlog of orders as shortages stretch on. Last year, independent distributor Fusion Worldwide acquired a test house based in Singapore. Another independent, Sourceability, has established test labs in each of its 4 global warehouses. From the company’s founding in 2015 testing has been standard operating procedure, according to Jens Gamperl, CEO and founder of Sourceability.　　“The tide is turning for independent distributors, which often get confused with brokers,” he noted. “They are clearly two different things.”　　Brokers are opportunistic organizations that buy low and sell high during supply disruptions and have been known to set up shop, take orders; and then disappear after payment. They are a common source of counterfeit parts. ERAI saw suspect capacitor reports spike over a 5-year period that included a severe shortage.　　Trust but verify　　Based on sources of components Sourceability has a 3-level verification process. One of the biggest challenges in the open market, Gamperl said, are parts that are authentic but have been re-marked as something else.　　“There are different sources of counterfeits,” Gamperl explained. “What what we see once in a while is that a manufacturer decides that product is not on their quality level, and they send it to a destruction facility, and on the way the shipment gets lost.”　　Even products that can be traced back to manufacturers (level 1) are verified by brand, part number, packaging, date code and dimensions.  “We have a large database of known parts, so it’s relatively easy to test a component’s dimensions,” Gamperl said.　　Sourceability maintains data on components, suppliers and customers it has dealt with at one time or another. Customers sometimes ask distributors to procure parts on their behalf. “If we haven’t bought one part from a supplier in, say, 10 years, there’s usually a good reason,” Gamperl said.　　Level 2 testing is done on components bought from authorized distributors, which source directly from component factories. Sourceability checks for open packs, resealed packaging, cut tape or 3rd party packaging. Acceptable quality level sample inspection is done based on the quantity received, using various microscopy options to validate conformance.　　The risk of procuring counterfeit components always increases when electronic devices are in short supply“Where we have no traceability, we always do a level 3 inspection,” Gamperl said. These devices are sourced from independent distributors, contract manufacturers/other excess channels and brokers. Markings on components are tested for permanence – a destructive solvent test (heated solvent) is used to detect epoxy-based blacktopping.　　Devices are also analyzed through x-ray florescence (XRF), are tested for solderability and undergo chemical decapsulation.　　“This usually means we take the packaging off and go down to the die and view the wiring through x-rays,” Gamperl said. By removing external packaging on a semiconductor and exposing the semiconductor wafer or die, microscopic inspection of brand marks, trade marks, and laser die etching can be used to determine authenticity. These tests damage samples, but some customers in the automotive or defense industries, for example, will not accept shipments without seeing test results beforehand.　　Equipment or facility investment has become a cost of doing business for many independents. Sourceability’s labs use:　　High Power Microscopy Capabilities Keyence VHX5000, VHX7000, Olympus DSX1000　　Keyence IM-7020 Instant Measuring Equipment　　Heated Chemical Testing (HTC)　　Creative Electron TruView? Prime X-Ray Inspection System　　Glenbrook Technologies JEWEL BOX 70T　　RoHS Testing with X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) Equipment Olympus : Xpert Model　　RoHS Testing with X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) Equipment Fischer Technology-XDAL-237 SDD　　NISENE Jet-Etch Pro Acid Decapsulation System　　RPS Prelude Dip and Look Solderability Test System　　RPS Cadence Steam Aging System　　Memmert JEDEC J-STD-033 and UF260 Universal Drying Ovens　　Sometimes, functionality testing is the only way to spot a counterfeit part. Counterfeits are getting more sophisticated, Gamperl notes, and resellers are always a step behind. But out of 50,000 recent shipments, Sourceability caught 120 counterfeits. “That’s small portion, even if counterfeiting has increased,” he added.

Chinese firms ask workers to shun iPhones, buy Huawei devices

Extending support to Huawei which is facing immense pressure from the US, Chinese companies have rallied behind the tech giant, offering hefty discounts to employees to buy Huawei devices and shun iPhones.According to a report in Nikkei Asian Review on Tuesday, the move came after the detention of Huawei's Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou in Canada at the request of American prosecutors."Many Chinese businesses have told employees they will receive subsidies if they buy Huawei smartphones to aid the company. Most are subsidizing 10-20 per cent of the purchase price, with some even covering the full amount," said the report.Over 20 Chinese companies also took to social media to announce that they will increase purchases of other Huawei products, the report added.Some other Chinese companies are also boycotting Apple."According to Chinese media, a Shanghai-based business association said it would expel anyone who bought Apple products," said the report.The diplomatic row over Huawei has escalated after China reacted to its CFO's arrest, arresting a second Canadian in China in December in a potential act of retribution.The Canadian Foreign Ministry identified the national as Michael Spavor, founder of the Paektu Cultural Exchange, a Canadian-owned China-based company that helps to facilitate trips to North Korea.China earlier arrested Michael Kovrig, a former Canadian diplomat who currently works for the non-profit organization International Crisis Group as its northeast Asia senior adviser.A Chinese court in December banned the sale and import of most iPhone models after granting Qualcomm an injunction against Apple.Qualcomm claimed that Apple violated two of its patents.To avoid the ban, Apple released a small update to iOS last week, saying that iOS version 12.1.2 contains software changes exclusive to China.

Supreme Court appears skeptical of Apple's arguments in App Store monopoly case

Supreme Court appears skeptical of Apple's arguments in App Store monopoly case

The U.S. Supreme Court appeared skeptical of Apple on Monday during oral argument in a case that could permit iPhone owners to move forward with an antitrust suit against the company for allegedly inflating the prices in its App Store.That lawsuit could disrupt the electronic giant's mobile software sales ecosystem, and potentially hit the company with hundreds of millions of dollars in penalties.Shares of the company fell negative briefly in intraday trade after the hour-long argument concluded, before recovering much of their losses. The company has been dogged by concerns about slow iPhone sales.The justices, including several of the court's conservatives, seemed sympathetic to the arguments presented by the iPhone owners who brought the case.Two of the court's conservative justices, Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch, went as far as suggesting that the Supreme Court precedent on which Apple based its argument may need to be revisited.To be sure, it is not always possible to guess how justices may rule based on their questions at oral argument. In most cases that have come before the Supreme Court under Chief Justice John Roberts in which one of the parties is a corporation, that corporation has prevailed.The iPhone owners alleged Monday that the 30 percent commission Apple takes on app sales leads app developers to increase their prices, passing on the burden to consumers. Apple, which blocks iPhone owners from purchasing software from third-party marketplaces, is able to charge its commission because of its monopoly power, they argued.The Supreme Court will not settle the underlying antitrust issue. Rather, the justices are reviewing whether iPhone owners are entitled to bring such a case at all.In 1977, the Supreme Court established the "Illinois brick doctrine," under which only the direct purchaser of a good is entitled to collect antitrust damages. Apple argued that under the doctrine, only app developers would be able to bring an antitrust suit against the company. The company argued that it acts as an agent for developers, who set their own prices and are ultimately the direct sellers.Noel J. Francisco during the Apple vs. Pepper caseSource: Art LienNoel J. Francisco during the Apple vs. Pepper caseLiberal justices Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor and Stephen Breyer took issue with that formula. In an exchange with Daniel Wall, who represented the company before the court, Kagan outlined her thinking of the case in personal terms."I mean, I pick up my iPhone. I go to Apple's App Store. I pay Apple directly with the credit card information that I've supplied to Apple," Kagan, the youngest member of the court's liberal wing, said. "From my perspective, I've just engaged in a one-step transaction with Apple."Alito, a George W. Bush appointee, suggested Illinois Brick may no longer be relevant. He told Wall that "I really wonder whether, in light of what has happened since then, the court's evaluation stands up.""Take the third point that it makes about the direct, so-called direct purchasers are the most efficient and most — in the best position to — to sue," Alito said. "If we look at this case, how many app developers are there whose apps are sold at the Apple store?"Wall responded that there are tens of thousands of app developers. Alito asked if any had ever brought a lawsuit against Apple."None have ever sued," Wall said.Gorsuch, Trump's first Supreme Court nominee, noted that "direct purchasers don't always sue because there's a threat that monopolists will share" the profits with them."Shouldn't we question Illinois Brick, perhaps, given the fact that so many states have done so?" Gorsuch asked.A coalition of thirty-one states, including Texas and California, filed a brief with the court asking it to overturn the Illinois Brick ruling. The states did not take a position on the antitrust allegations against Apple.Justice Brett Kavanaugh, who was confirmed in October, was more reserved in his questioning than Gorsuch or Alito. He noted, however, that "the consumers are harmed" in addition to the app makers. And he told Solicitor General Noel Francisco, who argued in support of Apple, that "we have ambiguity about what Illinois Brick means here.""Shouldn't that ambiguity, if — if there is such ambiguity, be resolved by looking at the text of the statute? Any person injured?" he said.Roberts suggested with his questions that he agreed with Apple's position. The other conservative on the bench, Justice Clarence Thomas, remained silent, which he typically does when hearing cases.An adverse ruling for Apple in the case could have a broad impact, affecting other tech giants, like Facebook, Ebay, Amazon and Alphabet's Google, which operate similar electronic marketplaces. The court is expected to issue a ruling by late June.
