Automotive Solutions
Electronic components meeting quality specifications established by the Automotive Electronics Council (AEC) are suitable for automotive use without additional component-level qualification testing. Most commonly referenced AEC documents include:
- AEC-Q100 - Failure Mechanism Based Stress Test Qualification For Integrated Circuits
- AEC-Q101 - Failure Mechanism Based Stress Test Qualification For Discrete Semiconductors
Automotive Safety Integrity Level (ASIL) is a risk classification scheme defined by the ISO 26262 - Functional Safety for Road Vehicles standard. This is an adaptation of the Safety Integrity Level (SIL) used in IEC 61508 for the automotive industry. ASIL certified devices enable implementation of ASIL traction inverter designs, dramatically reducing development time and cost.
Power Integrations offers a wide range of automotive qualified devices:
InnoSwitch3-AQ Flyback Switcher ICs
The InnoSwitch3-AQ Family of switcher ICs dramatically simplifies the design and manufacture of flyback power converters, particularly those requiring high efficiency and compact size.
