MindMotion‘s First Automotive MCU MM32A0144 Has Passed AEC-Q100 Automotive Certification

MM32A0144 (MM32A0144C6PM), MindMotion's first automotive product series, has passed AEC-Q100 automotive-grade reliability test from a third-party authority. This certification signifies that the performance and reliability of MindMotion's automotive-grade MCU products have been certified and accepted by the international security system, and have been ranked among the high-end automotive chips in China. At the same time, MM32A0144 also passed the full process AEC-Q100 test led by MindMotion's own automotive chip test and verification laboratory, allowing MindMotion to be the first domestic chip supplier to smoothly cooperate with chip designers in reliability testing and verification, and obtain a complete data analysis report that satisfies the automotive specification requirements.

After delivering more than 10 million units of MM32F0140 industrial product series in one year, MM32A0144 passed all 28 single-wafer IC-related automotive certification tests, which reflects the all-aspect improvement of MindMotion's technical strength in design, manufacturing, verification, testing, and quality control system of automotive MCU products and also fully demonstrates the reliability and safety of MidMotion's chips. As one of the latest automotive grade-level chips launched by MindMotion, MM32A0144, featured high performance, low power consumption, and high reliability, and can meet the needs of the automotive electronics industry.

AEC-Q100 is a dedicated quality certification system developed by the Automotive Electronics Council (AEC) to ensure the reliability and safety of automotive electronic parts, with which chips can be assured to withstand extreme temperature, humidity, vibration, and aging tests within the automotive application environment. This certification is primarily used to prevent various conditions or potential failure states that may occur in products and guide parts suppliers to use chips that meet the specifications in the development process. Strict examination and verification are taken by AEC-Q100 on the quality and reliability of each chip case, and the product data sheet proposed by the manufacturer. With this certification, we can know whether the purpose of use, functional descriptions, and other features meet the initial requirements and whether the functions and performance are consistent after continuous use.

This certification allows MindMotion automotive chips to better meet the requirements of the automotive industry, thus providing outstanding chip technology of high reliability, high availability, and high performance for automotive electronics applications. During this certification process, MindMotion chips passed strict tests such as high temperature/low temperature/humidity/pressure/force/strength/reliability/stability/repeatability to ensure reliability and availability for automotive electronics applications. For MindMotion, this achievement will bring more possibilities for this field and provide safer and more reliable services to automotive users, enabling more technological advances and changes in automobiles.

The first automotive grade-level chip MM32A0144 comes out, which marks MindMotion's official entry into the field of automotive chips and also indicates that MindMotion will bring a new and smart experience to automotive electronics.
