MIL-HDBK-217 Reliability Analysis

Jun 28, 2006 2 Replies

Hi



Does anyone have a spreadsheet/program I could use to calculate reliability of a circuit i.e. using say MIL-HDBK-217, rather than typing it all in from the manual? Or a suggestion of a "low cost" package? S/W packages, of such, seem to be very expensive!



Any help would be greatly appreciated.



Kind Regards

And have your typed-in figures certified by independent "on looker". Or you may spent uncount hours repeating similar mistake.

Those programs are pain in the neck, hence the value!

When designing mission critical cirquits we had to engage the "bean counting" department, in their statistical wisdom, to give us something that can be presented to the shaking customer(s), so they say "yes!". It cost us to have something to say.

A quiet "gossip" over cup of coffee with someone who lives in such conditions regularly may put the price in proportion.

I don't envy you.

Good luck

Use MIL-TFD-41 instead.
