Abstract

Kirk and Fred discussing how to show management and other skeptics of highly accelerated limit testing how valuable it can be in improving reliability.

Key Points

Join Kirk and Fred as they discuss the ways the value of HALT can be shown to those new to the field of limit testing.

Topics include:

• The interface between software and hardware and historic lack of studies and information on reliability software and the impact of hardware variations.
• The value of HALT comes from the opportunity in finding a strength limit and determining what can be done to make it more robust.
• Fred gives an example of quantifying a failure mechanism in HALT on cracking of MLCC (multi-layer ceramic capacitors).

Enjoy an episode of Speaking of Reliability. Where you can join friends as they discuss reliability topics. Join us as we discuss topics ranging from design for reliability techniques, to field data analysis approaches.
