What quality of on-board devices and components do you think are chosen for space missions? The answer is of course devices and components built to survive the most intense environmental factors presented in space.
To support our partners and industry colleagues, we’ve developed this blog to highlight the most important
Austin, TX.– June 1, 2021—Criteria Labs, an industry leader in high performance RF space components and semiconductor engineering solutions has partnered with Manufacturer’s Representatives to meet the needs of its growing customer base. The firms will support Criteria Labs’ space qualified device, eutectic die attachment, die to shim attachment, chip

However, it is well known that storage may not always be close to the recommended standard. This is where the high temperature storage life testing (HTSL reliability testing) comes into
Read MoreThe Highly Accelerated Stress Test (HAST testing) involves the effects of humidity and temperature on an IC or ASIC. The HAST test is designed to test the package of the ASIC under extreme humidity and temperature conditions. Devices that pass such HAST tests will be able to withstand the normal
Read MoreIn addition to the human body model (HBM) which is used to measure the electro-static discharge (ESD) that may affect IC/ASIC devices, there is also damage that may come from charged device model (CDM) which also must be tested. Although superficially similar to the HBM, the CDM is different and
Read MoreIn building integrated circuits (ICs) or ASICs, one area of concern is how they are protected from outside electrical sources. While most systems are geared towards power overloads, one source that may cause considerable damage is the electro-static discharge (ESD) that comes from the human body. To help test for
