en.Wedoany.com Reported - Konsemi (688653) has announced that its self-developed automotive-grade high-performance RF front-end chip KCT75XXAT has passed the AEC-Q100 automotive-grade reliability certification, meeting automotive industry standards in key performance and reliability metrics. This marks the company's qualification to enter the automotive electronics industry, enabling its participation in global smart vehicle application deployment and integration into the supply chain systems of leading automotive manufacturers.
AEC-Q100 is a widely recognized reliability standard in the automotive electronics field, testing chips for adaptability under extreme conditions, temperature and humidity cycling, long-term stability, and mass production consistency. It serves as a core threshold for automotive components to enter mainstream automotive supply chains. Passing this certification demonstrates that Konsemi has met industry standards in automotive-grade chip design, manufacturing, and quality control, satisfying the requirements for high reliability, long lifecycle, and high stability in automotive applications.
The KCT75XXAT is an automotive-grade RF front-end chip launched by Konsemi for intelligent connected vehicles. It covers the core frequency band of 5.77 to 5.925 GHz for vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication protocols and integrates key modules such as PA (Power Amplifier), LNA (Low Noise Amplifier), and transmit/receive switches. In transmission mode, the chip supports both high and low power modes for energy efficiency; the receiving end reserves an interface for an external bandpass filter, enhancing system design flexibility. With low power consumption, high linearity, and strong anti-interference capabilities, the chip operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 105°C, adapting to complex automotive electromagnetic environments to ensure stable and efficient communication. Its application scenarios include C-V2X vehicle-to-everything coordination, automotive high-speed Wi-Fi, smart cockpits, and automotive communication gateways in the intelligent connected domain.
Konsemi stated that the development of automotive intelligence and connectivity continues to drive demand for automotive RF communication, with the automotive-grade RF track demonstrating growth potential and market space. The achievement of this automotive-grade certification marks an important step for the company in expanding from consumer and industrial RF fields to the high-end automotive market. Moving forward, it will continue to deepen its focus on automotive-grade RF technology, refine automotive product solutions, and accelerate the commercialization process.
In the first quarter of 2026, Konsemi achieved a net profit attributable to parent company of 4.875 million yuan, turning a loss into a profit year-on-year. The company stated that current orders on hand are sufficient to cover more than three months of shipments. It expects the revenue share of Wi-Fi 7 products to continue increasing in 2026, with annual operating revenue likely to set a new record, and net profit attributable to parent company maintaining the positive trend seen in the first quarter. In terms of product structure, the Wi-Fi 7 series has become the core driver of performance growth. The company has already laid out plans for next-generation Wi-Fi 8 products, with samples scheduled for release in 2026. Additionally, in emerging fields such as the low-altitude economy, industrial IoT, vehicle-to-everything (V2X), ultra-wideband (UWB), and cellular RF front-ends, the company has achieved key breakthroughs, with multiple products now shipping in volume, helping to improve profitability. In overseas markets, in April 2026, Skyworks unconditionally withdrew its 337 investigation and patent lawsuit, bringing all related 337 investigation and patent litigation matters involving Konsemi to a close. In the future, the company will rely on its overseas business team to expand into international markets, and the significant reduction in litigation expenses will also improve the company's cash flow and profitability.
