One of the core focus of this year’s CMSE 2019, April 16-18th, 2019 Los Angeles, California, USA are discussion and trainings on high reliability passive components. A full day comprehensive Passive Component Reliability Workshop course will be presented in three sessions covering capacitors, inductors and resistors by industry fellow lecturers.
The training class on Passive Component Reliability Workshop includes: (pdf flyer download here):
Capacitors
Tantalum & Electrolytic Capacitors (Dr. Yuri Freeman, Kemet), MLCC & EMI filters (John Marshall, AVX) and SuperCapacitors, Film & Thin film capacitors (Chris Reynolds, AVX).
Students will gain an understanding of capacitor construction and how performance characteristics are affected by time, temperature, voltage and frequency. End applications are discussed along with reliability expectations, common failure modes and de-rating methods for increased lifetime performance. Processing guidelines are presented and the availability and use of simulation models is shown.
Inductors
The Inductor performance, reliability and selection session will be taught by (Scott Harris, Vanguard Electronics). This course will outline the basics of magnetics from an RF and power inductor and transformers point of view. Material performance, core types and properties along with wire types, winding techniquesand patterns are shown relative to their impact upon performance. Reliability predictions and levels are discussed along with a preview of emerging technologies and device simulation techniques.
Resistors
Resistor theory, performance & reliability will be taught by (Bryan Yarborough,Vishay). Resistor types and materials will be discussed relative to component performance. Device characteristics and performance relative to time, temperature, frequency and power are discussed. Heat transfer means and noise characteristics outlined. Reliability expectations and recommended applications are given.
