Purpose: Reliability prediction standards consider environmental conditions, such as temperature, humidity and vibration in order to predict the reliability of the electronics components. There are many types of standards, and each standard has a different failure rate prediction model, and requires different environmental conditions. The purpose of this study is to make a sensitivity analysis by changing the temperature which is one of the environmental conditions. By observing the relation between the temperature and the failure rate, we perform the sensitivity analysis for standards including MIL-HDBK-217F, RiAC-HDBK-217Plus and FIDES.
Methods: we establish environmental conditions in accordance with maneuver weapon systems"s OMS/MP and mission scenarios then predict the reliability using MIL-HDBK-217F, RiAC-HDBK- 217Plus and FIDES through the case of DC-DC Converter.
Conclusion: Reliability prediction standards show different sensitivities of their failure rates with respect to the changing temperatures.
