Commitment to Quality
Designed with automotive in mind
}
NXP Automotive Power MOSFETs are commonly deployed in many
critical applications such as braking, power steering and engine
management, where quality and reliability requirements go beyond
mere compliance with
AEC-Q101
standards.
}
Product qualification strategies start with a baseline of AEC-Q101, but
far exceed its requirements to reflect real automotive mission profiles.
}
NXP has more than 15 years experience qualifying automotive-grade
Trench MOSFETs in such applications, resulting in an impressive track
record of reliability.
}
All processes and plants are subject to regular internal audits, as well
as
TS16949, VDA
and specific customer audits.
}
Our rigorous attention to detail and commitment to automotive quality
has resulted in a
sub-ppm combined line, field and 0 Km failure rate
for automotive customers.
}
NXP’s
Design for Excellence (DfX)
program ensures each new
development builds on past learning and that best practices are
always employed, resulting in continual product improvement.
}
Our dedicated team of product quality, failure analysis and process
engineers supports
our zero-defects
culture at all stages of
development and production. We’re determined to find real root
causes and eliminate failure modes with widespread adoption of quality
analysis tools and methodologies. Failure analysis is supported by a
determination to find real Root Causes and eliminate failure modes with
widespread adoption of quality analysis tools and methodologies.
}
Dedicated design and manufacturing facilities focused on providing
superior automotive quality are at the heart of NXP’s manufacturing
setup. From silicon and package design, through diffusion, and over
to assembly and test, we carry out every process step for automotive
products within our internal and qualified partner facilities.
