Reliability and Safety Analysis RCD Laser System Corey Lane, Ryan Scott, Danny Barjum
Microcontroller λp = (C1πT + C2πT) πQ πL = 2.36 failures/10^6 hours MTTF = 1/ λ p = .4237e6 hours to failure
Bluetooth Modem λ p = (C1πT + C2πT) πQ πL = 2.45 failures/10^6 hours MTTF = 1/ λ p = .4082e6 hours to failure
RF Reciever λ p = (C1πT + C2πT) πQ πL = 1.226 failures/10^6 hours MTTF = 1/ λ p = .8157e6 hours to failure
Voltage Regulator λ p = λ pπTπSπCπQπE = .3744 failures/10^6 hours MTTF = 1/ λ p = 2.6709e6 hours to failure
Criticality Definitions • Low Criticality – Inconvenience to the user or failure of system. λp = 10^6 failures/hours • High Criticality – Potential to harm user. λp = 10^9 failures/hour Potential Improvements • Independent monitoring of the battery voltage as a fail safe for the charger. • Robust battery enclosure to reduce critically of battery overcharging. • Monitor voltage regulator and shutdown system if out of range. • Monitor charging power supply voltage and current. • If RF data connection fails, always draw instead of never draw.
