SigmaQuest software automates maverick analysis
-- Test & Measurement World, 12/18/2007 6:00:00 PM
SigmaSure 6.1 on-demand performance intelligence software from SigmaQuest now offers automated maverick analysis for electronic equipment brand owners and the component supplier community. This in-depth analysis capability allows electronic component developers and integrators to quickly identify maverick products, defined by JEDEC’s EIA/JESD50 as an atypical product that exhibits anomalistic characteristics that cause higher than normal levels of failure in end-user applications.
SigmaQuest’s automated maverick analysis provides median/mean performance deviation information on parameters like voltage, frequency, current, and resistance for complex devices ranging from ASICs, PCBs, and batteries to power supplies. Parametric/performance data is automatically uploaded into a database format with easy-to-use views, including median and mean statistical diagrams, as well as tables containing detailed metrics. This data can be utilized to further refine or narrow key performance specifications, such as the charge time on a cell phone or the operating voltage range of a power supply.
SigmaSure 6.1 is available now to all on-demand users. Automated maverick analysis is available as an add-on module to Manufacturing Test Insight, starting at $2750 per month.
