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 ...

Over the last 40 years, a series of misconceptions regarding mica capacitor applications has led novice users to consistently over-derate wound or rolled mica/epoxy dielectric capacitors. The mined ...

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 ...

Tactile switches with advanced contact materials improve signal integrity, durability, and lifecycle performance in demanding ...

Reliability and safety are two inter-relatable terms that define the overall effectiveness of any working system ― be it an electrical system, mechanical system, or a combination of both. The concept ...

Reliability is rarely thought about when things are going well and machines are running smoothly. But that can all change in an instant. In effect, once a machine is delivered and installed, ...

With the increasing complexity of design layouts and shorter tapeout cycles, waiting until signoff verification is no longer practical for design teams. There is a constant push to shift targeted ...

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 ...
