The Automotive Electronics Council (AEC) was founded by major automobile manufacturers and major component manufacturers in the United States. The association has established a quality control standard with the aim of standardizing the reliability and certification standards of automotive electronic components. Due to the fact that components that comply with AEC specifications can be simultaneously adopted by internationally renowned automotive manufacturers, this has promoted the willingness of component manufacturers to exchange their product characteristic data, promoted the universality development of automotive components, and laid the foundation for the rapid growth of the automotive component market.

The launch of the AEC-Q100 standard is of great significance for the automotive industry. Firstly, it provides a unified set of testing standards, allowing chip suppliers and car manufacturers to evaluate and select chips on the same benchmark. This helps to improve the efficiency and accuracy of the entire supply chain.

Secondly, the requirements of the AEC-Q100 standard are strict, aiming to ensure that chips can operate stably for a long time in harsh automotive environments. This is crucial for improving the reliability and safety of cars. By complying with the AEC-Q100 standard, chip manufacturers can demonstrate that their products have high reliability and stability in automotive applications.

In addition, the use of the AEC-Q100 standard also helps to improve the overall level and technological level of the chip industry. In order to meet the requirements of AEC-Q100, chip manufacturers need to continuously improve their design and manufacturing processes to enhance product quality and reliability. This has driven innovation and progress in chip technology, thereby driving the development of the entire automotive electronics industry.

The AEC-Q100 standard is divided into 5 product levels, with the strictest level 0 having an ambient working temperature range of -40~150 ° C; The ambient working temperature range of the first level is -40~125 ° C; the ambient working temperature range of the second level is -40~105 ° C; the ambient working temperature range of the third level is -40~85 ° C; The ambient working temperature range for level 4 is 0-70 ° C.

ThermoTST TS560 is a precision Temperature Cycling System with a wider temperature range of -70 ℃ to+225 ℃, providing strong temperature conversion testing capabilities. Temperature conversion from -55 ℃ to+125 ℃ for approximately 10 seconds; Meet the operating temperature range of various levels of the AEC-Q100 standard environment. TS560 is a pure mechanical refrigeration system that does not require liquid nitrogen or any other consumable refrigerants. The Precision Temperature Cycling System is designed for a single IC (module) among numerous components on a PCB circuit board, which can be subjected to high and low temperature impact independently without affecting other peripheral devices; Perform temperature cycling/impact on the IC on the load board of the testing machine platform; Real time monitoring of the actual temperature of the components to be tested, and the temperature of the impact airflow can be adjusted at any time, making chip testing efficient and economical.
