- What is Rugged Embedded Systems Packaging?
Packaging of electronic components so the system as a whole meets the technical and environmental requirements
- What are the components of Rugged Systems Packaging?
- Requires a Top-Down view: The system must be compliant, not just its parts
“If all the parts are rugged and compliant, will the resulting system be rugged and compliant?”
The Answer is 'NO'
- “My chassis is compliant and so are my boards. Therefore, the system is compliant.”
Not so!
- “An internally shock isolated chassis mounted in a shock isolated rack is better than only one being isolated”
Not so – a double isolated system may have positive feedback vibrating itself to pieces.
- “A thermally compliant PMC mounted on a thermally compliant SBC means the assembly is compliant.”
Not so – it is only compliant if there is enough conductive surface to lead the heat away.
Levels of Engagement
Packaging viewed as a systems solution? Adapting to realities of Modified COTS
Back
Concept to Production
Full product/project organization:
- Project/Program Managers
- Systems Engineers
- Mechanical & Electrical Design Engineers
- Manufacturing Engineers
- System Software Engineers
- Full support staff: Mechanical designers/drafters, document control, production control, QC etc
Manufacturing – from Concept to Production:
- Integration lab
- LRIP manufacturing
- Production manufacturing
Back
Designing Systems Packaging
First and foremost - Concurrence and team sign off prior to build
- Design predictability
- Being able at CDR to predict compliance
- Rapid Design Concepts/Solids Modeling
- Simulation: Structural & Air Flow/Thermal Analysis - Designed to Pass Qual Testing
- Designed for System Survival and Endurance
- Designed for Manufacture
- Tested for Design Validation
