“Technology is being developed at breakneck speed. Safety and reliability are critical especially in the new technologies required by autonomous vehicles, electric aircraft, and other high-performance products,” said Dr. Craig Hillman, CEO of DfR Solutions. “The Design for Reliability Conference has become the event for innovators and disruptors to share best practices in technology design that result in successful products now and into the future,” said Hillman.

Reliability Physics Analysis is a science-based approach that uses the knowledge of failure mechanisms to predict electronics reliability and improve product performance. Powerful simulation tools are used at the product design phase to model possible causes of failure like shock, vibration, temperature cycling, wear out and corrosion. The use of Reliability Physics Analysis has recently gained significant traction in the electronics industry.

Want early design analysis without simulation?

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Traditional verification methods are failing today's complex IC designs, which require a proactive, early-stage analysis approach. A shift-left methodology addresses IP block integration challenges and the limitations of traditional simulation and ERC tools. Insight Analyzer detects hard-to-find leakage issues across power domains, enabling early analysis without full simulation. Identify inefficiencies earlier to reduce rework, improve reliability, and enhance power performance.
