The AEC-Q series testing is the "quality cornerstone" of the automotive electronics industry chain. Its importance lies in ensuring driving safety, reducing full lifecycle costs, and promoting technological innovation and localization through standardization, providing reliable technical support for the era of intelligent vehicles.

| Project Background
The Automotive Electronics Council (AEC) established a set of verification standards by product category in order to provide a common reference framework for electronic component validation. These standards serve as the foundation for electronic component manufacturers who intend to enter the automotive market.
Within the AEC framework, it is clearly defined that there is no formal certification mechanism. Instead, the process relies on self-declaration and contractual agreements between buyers and sellers. The standards emphasize the concept of product families and highlight the importance of Statistical Process Control (SPC) in manufacturing quality management. Compared with the consumer electronics market, which mainly follows JEDEC-based validation, AEC standards are significantly more stringent.

▌ AEC-Q Verification Categories
1. AEC-Q Series Verification Categories
Categorized according to component family groups. Among these, AEC-Q103 was newly announced in 2019 to cover testing applications for MEMS-related products, thereby making the overall framework of applications more complete.

| Product Temperature Grades
Based on the installation location of the component in the vehicle, products are divided into four temperature grades. Unlike the traditional JEDEC 47 approach, AEC defines the requirement using the ambient test temperature (Ta) instead of junction temperature (Tj). This is relatively more stringent and creates higher technical thresholds and entry barriers for manufacturers seeking validation.
