Rating and Uprating of Electronic Parts is the first practical guide for engineers involved in uprating electronic parts. The aim of the book is to give the reader a well-defined, risk-informed methodology which will enable one to determine whether an electronics part will meet the performance requirements when used outside the manufacturers specified ratings, as listed in the part datasheet.The goal of the book is not to promote or deter the use of parts outside the manufacturer-specified ratings. The goal is to help the electronics industry to use parts in an effective and reliable manner. After studying this book, you will be able to: determine how to find a part that will meet the datasheet specifications of the application environment, including the temperature ratings avoid pitfalls and risks associated using parts outside their rated specifications apply a methodology to uprate a part for your target application conditions mitigate the technical and legal risks associated with the use of parts outside the performance specifications address future trends and needs related to part ratingsWho is this book for?This book is for the component engineers, test engineers, purchase engineers, engineering managers, system engineers, design engineers, quality assurance personnel and manufacturing engineers, associated with the selection, qualification, and management of electronic parts. The book is meant to support the complete supply chain that may make or use uprated parts; including product manufacturers, electrical test laboratories, after-market part suppliers, regulatory bodies, part manufacturers and even legal counsels.
