Criteria Labs is a turnkey test facility for the
characterization of Electro Static Discharge (ESD) and latch-up in semiconductor
components. Characterization of ESD and latch-up for immunity in integrated
circuits is required by industry standards, including the Mil-Std 883, the
Electronic Industries Association (EIA/JEDEC), and the Automotive Electronics
Council (AEC).
- Editor's comments:- Criteria Labs was spun out of
BridgePoint, which in 1998 took over manufacturing hyperSPARC processors from
the original developer
Ross
Technology. That's why the profile was originally listed on our
SPARC site.
Nowadays
their main business seems to be offering testing and qualification services
related to high reliability programs - including analyzing why chips have
failed.

| SSD sudden power
loss vulnerability guide |
Why should you care
what happens in an SSD when the power goes down?
This important design
feature - which barely rates a mention in most SSD datasheets and press releases
- has a strong impact on
SSD data integrity
and operational
reliability.
This article will help you understand why some
SSDs which (work perfectly well in one type of application) might fail in
others... even when the changes in the operational environment appear to be
negligible. |
