The reliability of electronic assemblies is directly related to the failure rate: higher reliability means a lower failure rate of the drive system, as it reduces the probability of failure within a ...

Environmental-stress screening (ESS) is an essential step in the design cycle of electronic systems, particularly as these systems shrink in size and increase in complexity to satisfy the growing ...

The August print issue of EE-Evaluation Engineering includes a special report on power electronics test. In preparation for that article, we asked test equipment vendors to provide information on ...

What are the key factors in optimizing mean time between failure (MTBF)? Developing the best strategy for MTBF. What to look for in MTBF test studies. For designers of engineered electronics powering ...

Heat is both a byproduct and one of the greatest enemies of electrical and electronic components. If not dissipated, this heat has the potential to cause early failures and malfunctions. Components ...

The average human lifespan has risen steadily, as prosperity and living standards have increased in many parts of the world. Increased lifespan is a cause for celebration. However, longer lifespans ...
