NXP Semiconductors’ HEF4000 series is one of the of the oldest CMOS logic families but are still widely used in many new designs because of its wide operating voltage, low power consumption, and ...

In order to proactively handle potential process or product errors before they occur in manufacturing or on a customer’s production line, many organizations implement a Failure Mode and Effects ...

SoCs targeting automotive applications are required to meet certain safety and quality standards as described in ISO 26262. A quantitative approach to safety analysis involves performing Failure Mode ...

If you are still using FMEA as your methodology to capture medical device risk management activities, then your risk management process is out of date. And you might be asking why do you need to ...

Back in the day with HDD we developed RAID in order to safeguard against device failures. Typically for 6+TB HDDs you wanted 2-disk parity (e.g. RAID-6 or RAIDZ2 with ...

When a gas turbine goes down, recovery can be an expensive, time-consuming process. Knowing what can go wrong and how to anticipate turbine failures can help you avoid a difficult unplanned outage.

Absence of voltage testing is the most vital step in the process of verifying and establishing a deenergized state of any electrical system. According to the Article 120.5, NFPA 70E, it is a ...
