Examines numerous examples of highly sensitive products such as satellites, measuring instruments, and high-end computers and servers for processing financial transactions.

Practical Reliability of Electronic Equipment and Products discusses

• concurrent engineering/design teams
• power supply considerations
• part derating and stress analysis
• thermal management
• failure modes and effects analysis
• environmental stress screening
• design for manufacture
• component sourcing and manufacturing issues

and explores

• the detection of design errors
• thermal analysis models and tools
• electromagnetic compatibility, ESD, and signal integrity
• printed wiring assembly and testing, electrical testing, and test design
• software development, availability, and quality

Practical Reliability of Electronic Equipment and Products will help electrical, electronics, manufacturing, mechanical, systems design, and reliability engineers; electronics production managers; electronic circuit designers; and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines.
