"Automotive" vs "Catalog" rating?

Hi,

I see some products are rated as "automotive" and others as "catalog". Could someone explain the difference between the two ratings?

  • Hi Paul,

    The automotive parts go through a qualification process called as the AEC-Q100 (automotive electronics council) to check reliability for ICs in the transportation market. So you might see a marginal price difference on the chips that go through the qualification process. 

    Other than that the normal functionality and usage of the chips should be the same.
