  • Abstract
    This paper describes a computer program and data base with automatic part failure-rate estimation according to MIL-HDBK-217B. The user supplies only a part list and application-dependent information. The program retrieves the part characteristics from the database, and computes the failure rate and power consumption for each part. Program options sum the failure rate and power requirements (dissipation) for the entire part list and perform trade-off analyses for different operating conditions or screening levels.
