Automotive Quality Standards 101: What Does Qualification Really Get You?

By Harrison Beasley, Qorvo

Today’s enormously complex automotive sector has overtaken the computers and communications as the fastest growing market for electronic systems. As car technologies rapidly advance towards sophisticated driver-assistance systems and self-driving cars, several design factors, such as ruggedness, reliability, longevity, and interference, have become even more critical. To ensure components don’t fail once they’re embedded in electronics systems, strict quality standards are applied for automotive component manufacturing and testing. Only parts that meet these standards can be qualified for automotive use. Download the full article for more on key industry standards, and how qualified components make a difference in the industry.
