Reliability and safety are two inter-relatable terms that define the overall effectiveness of any working system ― be it an electrical system, mechanical system, or a combination of both. The concept ...

Circuit aging is emerging as a mandatory design concern across a swath of end markets, particularly in markets where advanced-node chips are expected to last for more than a few years. Some chipmakers ...

How can systems be designed to guard against unexpected downtime? How does system reliability impact product development? In what ways can artificial intelligence and machine learning improve system ...

When it comes to process-control systems, reliability is crucial and failure can be costly or dangerous. A combination of good design practices, component selection, and testing can enhance ...

Reliability is the most reported measurement characteristic used as evidence of the quality of a measurement. However, ...

Reliability is rarely thought about when things are going well and machines are running smoothly. But that can all change in an instant. In effect, once a machine is delivered and installed, ...

A short outage may not cause much trouble for a refrigerated storage facility, but unplanned shutdowns may cost millions of dollars and cause a drop in share price for data centers, microchip ...

The demand for high-power UPS systems is driven by the growth of compute-intensive applications and the ongoing need for reliable power solutions, including services and applications to support AI ...

Reliability and Stupidity: Mistakes in Reliability Engineering and How to Avoid Them is an aptly named chapter in Jonathan Swingler’s book that discusses what a design engineer should understand about ...

Faster processors, lowered power targets and shrinking technology have increased the complexity of integrated circuit (IC) reliability analysis. With the 20nm node becoming mainstream, IC design teams ...
