Condition Based Maintenance

SJ-BIST™

Solder joint intermittent fault identification

Ball Grid Array technologies regularly suffer from intermittent cracking of solder joints creating reliability and quality issues.

SJ-BIST is built-in technology which monitors the state of the most susceptible joints on an array and provides advance warning that joints are starting to fail.Read moreSJ-BIST™

Ringdown™

Power Supply and Actuator - Remaining Useful Life

Used to improve Power supply reliability and reduce in-life costs, Ringdown provides an early warning that a power supply is starting to fail before there is any noticeable change in operational performance.Read moreRingdown

Sentinel Networks™

Prognostics & Health Management Analysis Platform

Sentinel Network is a web application that combines network monitoring and prognostic health management (PHM) technologies. Predict the remaining useful life of network assets such as power supply devices (UPS) and battery backups, reducing network downtime by permitting condition-based maintenance of these critical assets prior to catastrophic failure.Read moreSentinel Networks™

ProChek™

Semiconductor Process and Reliability Characterization System

When designing an IC, you need to ensure it will perform well under stress and will last as long as your customers require. Characterisation data is available from your foundry but it might not have all the data you want or when you want it. You can spend weeks or months trying to extract the information you need, one measurement at a time. Ridgetop Group's ProChek™ gets you the information you need faster than other systems by orders of magnitude.Read moreProChek™

TopAct™

Avoid Radiation Over-Shielding and Under-Shielding

When developing systems that must be hardened to radiation, you want to make sure that you have just the right amount of shielding. Too much shielding adds expense, complexity and - of particular concern for aerospace applications - weight. Too little shielding can result in performance degradation or catastrophic failure.

TopAct™ is a software tool that bridges the worlds of Computer Aided Design (CAD) and radiation transport analysis (RTA) improving the quality of the radiation transport analyses you perform.Read moreTopAct™
