6 Design Methods Determine reliability goals Reliability planning Mechanical stress analysis HALT at the component or system level Electrical component analysis Life testing
7 Production Methods Stress screening Trend analysis
8 Case Studies Case Study 1: Design Reliability - Single Board Computer reliability assessment Case Study 2: Design Reliability Mobile Power Unit reliability testing during DVT Case Study 3: Production Reliability - Stress screening of a device as part of the manufacturing process
9 Case Study 1 Medical Grade Single Board Computer design initiative component of a blood analysis device Determination of reliability goals Creation of reliability plan Testing to assess alpha reliability and what design changes were necessary for beta iteration
10 Case Study 1 SBC Reliability Goal: A mean time between failure (MTBF) of 5 years or approximately 20,000 hours of continuous use will be achieved.
11 SBC Reliability Plan Case Study 1 Step 1: Apply mechanical analysis tool (mechanical stress) Step 2: Perform HALT testing Step 3: Apply traditional MTBF component analysis (electrical stress)
12 Case Study 1 Step 1 - Mechanical Analysis Tool Used to provide feedback on early-stage design and layout Models board stack-up and components Simulates based on models, life cycle conditions
13 Simulation Input and Output Inputs CAD files that describe all layers, including drill file BOM and Pick & Place files Life cycle conditions Outputs Failure rates Problem areas Case Study 1
14 Performing the Analysis Set life cycle conditions Case Study 1 Temperature cycles Shocks Vibrations random and harmonic Used customer expectations of field conditions to generate the daily stresses on the board
15 Case Study 1 Running Simulations Simulations gave results on: Plated through hole fatigue Risk of CAF formation (migration of copper filaments) Solder joint lifetime (both thermal and vibration) Interconnect failures MTBF
16 Reliability Report Gives lifetime estimate Assigns modular scores Case Study 1 Highlights problem areas on the board due to thermal, vibration, and shock stresses Identifies components with shortest estimated lifetimes
17 Life Prediction Curve Case Study 1
18 Case Study 1 Vibration Analysis - Indicates components susceptible to vibration
19 Case Study 1 Step 2 HALT Subassembly Level HALT Find design problems early Different failure modes Allows more stringent testing Can validate efforts from ME Analysis Requires robust test setup
20 Case Study 1 Circuit Board HALT Testing
21 Circuit Board HALT Testing Specified limits prior to testing 5 to 45grms and -10 to 90C Uncover design weaknesses Critical findings incorporated in Beta design Sample size of N=3 No pass/fail criteria Case Study 1 Observe general error codes/flickering of display
22 Case Study 1 Circuit Board HALT Testing Robust test setup VGA screens outside of chamber for UI analysis Used HyperTerminal to gather data External power supplies powered boards Extensive labeling of cables
23 Case Study 1 Circuit Board HALT Testing Results: Reached 45 grms, -5C and 90C X-ray inspection of boards: BGA component on pad; no solder bridges No cracked solder joints Minimal signs of voiding at solder attachments Good electrical connections No visual issues with BGA components
24 Step 3 - MTBF Analysis Ops A La Carte Case Study 1 Sent BOM and Schematic Defined operational limit of 45C Room temp plus 20C internal rise of case Used HALT Calculator with testing results Comprehensive electrical stress analysis
25 Case Study 1 Conclusions Early design analysis assisted with layout and placement of PCB board HALT testing verified robustness of design MTBF calculations used to predict/verify life of design
26 Case Studies Case Study 1: Design Reliability - Single Board Computer reliability assessment Case Study 2: Design Reliability Mobile Power Unit reliability testing during DVT Case Study 3: Production Reliability - Stress screening of a device as part of the manufacturing process
