Quality & Reliability General Guidelines

Reliability

  1. Life Test
    • High Temp. High Humidity storage
    • High Temp. High Humidity Bias/Operation
    • Thermal Stress (TCT,TS)
    • High Temp Storage/Bias/Operation
    • Solder Shock / Reflow Test
  2. Mechanical
    • Drop/Bending/Twist/Key Force/Partial Pressure
  3. ESD
  4. Latch Up, etc..
