Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) are sometimes mined and sold by 
armed groups to &ldquo;finance conflict characterized by extreme levels of 
violence.&rdquo;2 These minerals and the metals created from them (such as 
tantalum, tin, tungsten and gold) can make their way into the supply 
chains of CAN semiconductors (CAN stand-alone controllers, 
micro-controllers with on-chip CAN modules, and CAN transceivers).</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">As part of our commitment to corporate 
responsibility and respecting human rights in our own operations and in 
our global supply chain, it is our goal to use tantalum, tin, tungsten 
and gold in our products that are &ldquo;DRC conflict free&rdquo;3 while supporting 
responsible in-region mineral sourcing from the DRC and adjoining 
countries. This includes the avoidance of child labor.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;<u>ALÁíRNI itt</u>:
