Frequently Asked Questions

What AEC-Q100 grade is required for infotainment applications?

AEC-Q100 grade selection for infotainment: (1) Grade 1 (-40°C to +125°C) - Required for under-hood or extreme environment applications. Recommended for instrument clusters and critical systems. (2) Grade 2 (-40°C to +105°C) - Suitable for most cabin-mounted infotainment systems. Adequate for head units and displays. (3) Grade 3 (-40°C to +85°C) - May be acceptable for some cabin applications in mild climates. Check OEM requirements. (4) OEM Requirements - Most automotive OEMs require Grade 1 or Grade 2 for infotainment. Verify specific program requirements. (5) Recommendation - Use Grade 1 for maximum flexibility and to meet all OEM requirements. The DSA25Q64A is Grade 1 qualified. Contact LiTong for grade selection guidance.
