The automotive electronics challenge is to survive more than 150,000 miles and 10 years of usage in harsh environments without an excessive rate of failure. The best way to ensure automotive electronics reliability is by taking the Physics of Failure (PoF) approach, which uses science (physics, chemistry, etc.) to capture an understanding of failure mechanisms and evaluates useful life under actual operating conditions. The four key processes in this methodology are design capture, lifecycle characterization, load transformation and durability simulation reliability analysis and risk assessment.
