Version 4.0 of Microchip Technology's total endurance software is said to take the guesswork out of determining the life of a serial EEPROM in an embedded system. Design trade-off analysis that formerly took days or weeks can now be done in minutes with a level of accuracy that the company says delivers a truly robust design.
When provided with a few simple design parameters, the software predicts the performance and reliability of a serial EEPROM within a particular embedded environment and calculates the expected FIT rate, MTBF, PPM level, and application life. Results are plotted in a user-configurable graph allowing the designer to determine the best device for a particular application.
Features include on-screen editing of parameters, single-click copy of plot to clipboard, full-screen or windowed graph view, data export to text or Excel file formats, hypertext on-screen help, and an on-disk endurance tutorial. The software supports Microchip's Microwire, SPI and I2C compatible serial EEPROM devices and can be easily upgraded, as new products become available.
This easy-to-use tool is available free from Microchip's website at www.microchip.com.
