We at EMRL, enable swift and precise predictions of electronic hardware lifespan at the component, board, and system levels during the early design stages. Out reliability analysis eliminates the tiresome cycle of testing, failing, fixing, and repeating by allowing designers to model silicon-metal layers, semiconductor packaging, printed circuit boards (PCBs), and assemblies accurately. This helps to predict the risks of failure caused by thermal, mechanical, and manufacturing stressors before the prototype stage.
We have observed that electronic equipment failures are generally caused by long-term chemical interactions or material fatigue due to mechanical stress or temperature variations, leading to a compromise in their insulating or conductive properties. To predict the severity and duration of such reactions based on environmental factors, we use mathematical models like the Arrhenius equation. Our team of electrical, mechanical, and reliability engineers collaborate to implement design best practices, predict product lifetimes, and reduce failure risks.
We conduct various tests like thermal cycling, power-temperature cycling, vibration, shock, bending, thermal derating, accelerated life, natural frequency, and CAF to reduce costly build-and-test iterations. This enables designers to make near-real-time adjustments and achieve qualification in a single round. In the event of environmental reliability testing leading to unacceptable degradation or failure, we identify the root cause to enable design or material changes for achieving the desired lifetime or performance.
