Product lifetimes can be modelled using extant data from surveys with the application of probability and other statistical concepts (e.g. distributions). [12] [22] One of the earliest attempts to estimate product lifetimes was undertaken by Pennock and Jaeger [23] who utilised actuarial methods to measure the Service life of household goods for ...
IEC TR 60930 Guidelines for administrative, medical and nursing staff concerned with the safe use of medical electrical equipment and medical electrical systems IEC 60931 Shunt power capacitors of the non-self-healing type for a.c. systems having a rated voltage up to and including 1000 V
Given a component database calibrated with field failure data that is reasonably accurate, [1] the method can predict device level failure rate per failure mode, useful life, automatic diagnostic effectiveness, and latent fault test effectiveness for a given application.
Front page of a floppy disk controller data sheet (1979) A datasheet, data sheet, or spec sheet is a document that summarizes the performance and other characteristics of a product, machine, component (e.g., an electronic component), material, subsystem (e.g., a power supply), or software in sufficient detail that allows a buyer to understand what the product is and a design engineer to ...
In the later life of the product, the failure rate increases due to wearout. Many electronic consumer product life cycles follow the bathtub curve. [ 1 ] It is difficult to know where a product is along the bathtub curve, or even if the bathtub curve is applicable to a certain product without large amounts of products in use and associated ...
High-temperature operating life (HTOL) is a reliability test applied to integrated circuits (ICs) to determine their intrinsic reliability. This test stresses the IC at an elevated temperature, high voltage and dynamic operation for a predefined period of time. The IC is usually monitored under stress and tested at intermediate intervals.
Equipment such as medical electronics and space equipment that require high quality and reliability makes use of tantalum capacitors. An especially common application for low-voltage tantalum capacitors is power supply filtering on computer motherboards and in peripherals, due to their small size and long-term reliability.
Reliability engineering is a sub-discipline of systems engineering that emphasizes the ability of equipment to function without failure. Reliability is defined as the probability that a product, system, or service will perform its intended function adequately for a specified period of time, OR will operate in a defined environment without failure.
