Automated Maverick Analysis in SigmaSure 6.1

By DE Editors

SigmaQuest Inc. (Sunnyvale, CA) announced its Automated Maverick Analysis for electronic equipment brand owners (OEM) and the component supplier community. This in-depth analysis capability, available with the newly released SigmaSure 6.1, allows electronic component developers and integrators to quickly identify which products meet the highest-performance criteria and which exhibit anomalistic characteristics, thereby resulting in higher than normal levels of failure in end-user applications.

A Maverick product is defined via the Joint Electron Device Engineering Council’s EIA/JESD 50 as an atypical product that exhibits anomalistic characteristics that cause higher than normal level of failure in the end-user application. Causes of a Maverick product can vary across the entire spectrum of processes including, but not limited to, fabrication, assembly, test, packaging, and handling operations. Affected populations can often go undetected until used in a final application, thereby impacting contract manufacturers, field reliability, and end-user satisfaction.

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 then be used by OEMs and their suppliers to further refine, or narrow, key performance specifications.

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 a U.S.-list price of $2,750 per month.
