AEC-Q100- Failure Mechanism Based on Integrated Circuit Stress Test Certification

With the progress of automotive electronic technology, there are many complicated data management control systems in today's cars, and through many independent circuits, to transmit the required signals between each module, the system inside the car is like the "master-slave architecture" of the computer network, in the main control unit and each peripheral module, automotive electronic parts are divided into three categories. Including IC, discrete semiconductor, passive components three categories, in order to ensure that these automotive electronic components meet the highest standards of automotive anquan, the American Automotive Electronics Association (AEC, The Automotive Electronics Council is a set of standards [AEC-Q100] designed for active parts [microcontrollers and integrated circuits...] and [[AEC-Q200] designed for passive components, which specifies the product quality and reliability that must be achieved for passive parts. Aec-q100 is the vehicle reliability test standard formulated by the AEC organization, which is an important entry for 3C and IC manufacturers into the international auto factory module, and also an important technology to improve the reliability quality of Taiwan IC. In addition, the international auto factory has passed the anquan standard (ISO-26262). AEC-Q100 is the basic requirement to pass this standard.

List of automotive electronic parts required to pass AECQ-100:

Automotive disposable memory, Power Supply step-down regulator, Automotive photocoupler, three-axis accelerometer sensor, video jiema device, rectifier, ambient light sensor, non-volatile ferroelectric memory, power management IC, embedded flash memory, DC/DC regulator, Vehicle gauge network communication device, LCD driver IC, Single power Supply differential Amplifier, Capacitive proximity switch Off, high brightness LED driver, asynchronous switcher, 600V IC, GPS IC, ADAS Advanced Driver Assistance System Chip, GNSS Receiver, GNSS front-end amplifier... Let's wait.
