AEC-Q101 qualified devices help electric vehicle power developers maximize system reliability and durability, while maintaining high quality and enabling stable, long application life. The device, with its superior avalanche performance, reduces the need for external protection circuitry, reducing system cost and complexity.
SiC automotive power devices complement Microchip's broad portfolio of controller, analog and connectivity solutions, providing developers with comprehensive system solutions for electric vehicles and charging infrastructure.
Additionally, Microchip offers a broad portfolio of 700, 1200 and 1700V SiC SBD and MOSFET power modules utilizing the latest generation of SiC die.
Meanwhile, Microchip announced that its own durability tests on SiC SBDs have shown that they deliver approximately 20 percent higher energy conservation in Unclamped Inductive Switching (UIS), the lowest leakage current at high temperatures, and have proven to extend system life and enable more stable operation.

[e4ds Tech Day 2026 ⑨] Sim Sang-gyu, Autocrypt CTO: "In the Physical AI Era, Automotive Security Must Extend Beyond the Vehicle"
At e4ds Tech Day 2026, Sim Sang-gyu, CTO of Autocrypt, explained automotive cybersecurity strategies in the era of Physical AI and SDV (Software-Defined Vehicle). Automobiles are evolving as part of an ecosystem connected to AI, cloud, chargers, IoT, and robots, and he emphasized that the scope of security must expand beyond the vehicle interior to the entire connected environment. In particular, AI model tampering, adversarial attacks, OTA updates, and EV charger hacking were identified as major threats. He explained that response measures require zero trust, AI model integrity protection, intrusion detection, Security by Design and Default, and full lifecycle security management, and that proactive security system establishment beyond regulatory compliance is critical for securing future mobility competitiveness.

Practical HIL Construction Strategy for Automotive and Off-Highway Controller Validation
As vehicle E/E architecture transitions to zonal structures and shifts to software-defined vehicles (SDV), the number of controllers (ECUs) requiring validation and software complexity are surging dramatically. Meanwhile, real vehicle testing cannot provide repeated verification under identical conditions and entails lead time and safety concerns. This white paper explains the principles of HIL (Hardware-in-the-Loop) validation and the structure of the NI platform composed of PXI, SLSC, and VeriStand, and through two actual implementation cases—Camera Record & Replay HIL for In-Cabin Monitoring Controller (ICMU) and Forklift Controller (VCU) HILS—describes how controller-level regression testing becomes possible. Additionally, it explicitly states application boundaries and limitations, such as lack of A2B support.
