Practical Reliability Of Electronic Equipment And Products

by Eugene R. Hnatek

Overview

Examining numerous examples of highly sensitive products, this book reviews basic reliability mathematics, describes robust design practices, and discusses the process of selecting suppliers and components. He focuses on the specific issues of thermal management, electrostatic discharge, electromagnetic compatibility, printed wiring assembly, environmental stress testing, and failure analysis. The book presents methods for meeting the reliability goals established for the manufacture of electronic product hardware and addresses the development of reliable software. The appendix provides example guidelines for the derating of electrical and electromechanical components.
