Auto Chip Aging Accelerates In Hot Climates

By Ed Sperling - 09 Dec, 2024 - Comments: 1

Automotive chips are aging significantly faster than expected in hot climates with sustained high temperatures, raising concerns about the reliability of electrified vehicles over time and whether advanced-node chips are the right choice for safety-critical applications. Many of the most advanced electronics used in vehicles today are ASIL D-compliant, expected to function up to 125° C. But... » read more
