Circuit aging is emerging as a mandatory design concern across a swath of end markets, particularly in markets where advanced-node chips are expected to last for more than a few years. Some chipmakers ...

In 2018, I had to replace some failed components on a 25-year-old HP34401A DMM. Two capacitors failed, taking out diodes as well. That was the third instance of having to replace failed capacitors ...

When a global medical device company needed help setting up a reliability program, Marie Getsug was up for the task. As a program manager of strategic consulting for asset management at Jacobs ...

Accelovant's newest MPX high‑reliability, high‑value alternative to conventional fiber‑optic converters: SEMI ETG ...

This is part two of Craig Hillman’s article on reliability in electronic design. Click here to read his first article, "The End is Near for MIL-HDBK-217 and Other Outdated Handbooks." Welcome to the ...

When it comes to process-control systems, reliability is crucial and failure can be costly or dangerous. A combination of good design practices, component selection, and testing can enhance ...

How can systems be designed to guard against unexpected downtime? How does system reliability impact product development? In what ways can artificial intelligence and machine learning improve system ...

Reliability and Stupidity: Mistakes in Reliability Engineering and How to Avoid Them is an aptly named chapter in Jonathan Swingler’s book that discusses what a design engineer should understand about ...

Using computer models to simulate product behavior was first used mainly to replace hardware prototyping to assess design performance at the end of the development cycle. However, with increasingly ...

Faster processors, lowered power targets and shrinking technology have increased the complexity of integrated circuit (IC) reliability analysis. With the 20nm node becoming mainstream, IC design teams ...
