introduction to quality and reliability

The quality and reliability of Texas Instruments (TI) microprocessor and microcontroller products, which include

the TMS370 8-bit microcontrollers and the TMS320 digital signal processors, rely on the following:

D Feedback from customers

D Total manufacturing operation from front-end wafer fabrication to final shipping inspection

D Monitoring of product quality and reliability

The customer’s perception of quality is the governing criterion for judging performance. This concept is the basis

for TI Corporate Quality Policy, which is as follows:

“For every product or service we offer, we shall define the requirements that solve the customer’s problems,

and we shall conform to those requirements without exception.”

Texas Instruments has developed a leadership reliability qualification system, based on years of experience

with leading-edge memory technology and years of research into customer requirements. To achieve constant

improvement, programs that support that system respond to customer input and internal information.

This section discusses the following major topic: reliability stress tests.
