2024 AEC Annual Reliability Workshop: The Twenty-Second Annual Automotive Electronics Reliability Workshop was held April 23-25, 2024 at the Sheraton Detroit Novi Hotel located in Novi, Michigan, USA. Over 200 people representing 100 global automotive electronics user and supplier communities attended the AEC Workshop. A large cross-section of user and supplier community made 20 presentations on methodologies for improving the quality & reliability of Integrated Circuits, Discrete Semiconductors, and Passive Components. The 2024 Workshop also included 11 Open Forum Panel Discussions where industry experts reviewed the current status and future direction of AEC Technical Committee activities, providing attendees an opportunity to share their experiences and expertise. Open Forum topics included Wide Band Gap Technology Qualification, Extended Mission Profiles, Zero Defects Guidelines, and a revision status overview of the AEC Q-Specifications. The goal of the Automotive Electronics Council is the development of uniform automotive industry specifications and requirements to improve automotive product quality and reliability while reducing cost and time to market. The purpose of the AEC Workshop is to continuously improve communications between automotive electronic component users and their supplier base. Check out the technical session presentations below
