Upscreen

When a military grade product is made obsolete a commercial variant of the same part may still be readily available. In such instances upscreening a commercial part to military temperature grade may be an appropriate solution.

Micross Components have a thorough understanding of the issues relating to upscreening of plastic packaged devices, including:

• Temperature effects on packaging material
• Moisture effects
• Junction temperature and its effect on long term reliability

And are therefore well placed to offer advise on upscreening as a potential solution. Should upscreening be a valid option Micross Components has a wide range of test capability including temperature forcing systems to test parts at the appropriate temperature. Burn in and high temperature storage facilities are available should qualification testing be required.
