Is the CSD18532Q5B automotive qualified?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CSD17313Q2Q1, CSD18532Q5B

Hello,

Most of TI's auto-qual'd parts end with a -Q1.  I understand that auto-qual'd NextFETs are on the way, but wondered if the CSD18532Q5B is one of them since there is a "Q" in the part number?  If not, will the auto NextFETs follow the -Q1 convention?

Thanks, in advance.

  • Hi Scott,

     The 'Q' in the NextFET devices does not indicate the same as -Q1 for other part numbers.  If you look in the Automotive & Transportation - Products page ( http://www.ti.com/lsds/ti/apps/automotive/products.page ), and the Automotive Selectin Guide ( http://www.ti.com/lit/sgzb002 ) no NextFET devices are listed.

    I will find out from the product group if this feature is on the roadmap, but at this time, no auto-qualified NextFET devices are available.

  • Scott, 

    We do currently have one FET that is automotive qualified -  the CSD17313Q2Q1. 

    We will be following TI notation for our roadmap automotive products. That is to say they will always have a "Q1" after the title. Many of our NexFETs already use "Q" to state that the product is in a QFN package, but automotive products like the aforementioned will exclusively use the Q1 suffix. 

    The CSD18532Q5B is not auto qualified and there is no plan to do so in the immediate future. However, if you bring us a specific opportunity for this product, we can do a feasibility study and see what it would take to get the product Q101. I will warn however that it is much more difficult to auto qualify discrete devices than it is for IC's. Doing so would require a completely new design.

    Hopefully this answers your questions, but let me know if there is any more info you need.
