Thermal Uprating

Using a component above its rated temperature is always challenging (and surprisingly common). In this white paper, DfR provides a concise explanation of uprating, including the risks, the costs, and the process. For more component-specific guidance, visit our White Paper web page.

Upgrading your Derating

In the early stages of product development (circuit schematic and part selection), effective design-for-reliability (DfR) can have a critical impact on final product integrity. To respond to this need, DfR has developed world-leading strategies on derating, one of the most popular DfR approaches for assuring that an individual component will operate robustly against major stress elements.
