An Introduction to the SAE Online Tool for AS6171 Test Set Selection

Michael Azarian [University of Maryland]

Abstract: 

Accompanying the release of the new and revised AS6171 standards, SAE will be releasing a major update to the free online software tool that enables users of the standard to develop custom test sets that implement the risk-based testing methodology that is the foundation of the standard. The revised SAE CDC Tool will allow users to select from roughly twice the previous number of test methods for coverage of a revised set of counterfeit defects, for detection of both conventional and tampered counterfeit parts.
This presentation will introduce the updated SAE CDC Tool, including the revised counterfeit defects, the expanded set of test methods, and the newly incorporated tampered parts that it enables users to draw upon when developing test sets for counterfeit detection. It will include a demonstration of the software for some representative part types and risk levels, and will illustrate how the model test sets in the revised version of AS6171 General Requirements were developed.

Dr. Michael H. Azarian is a research scientist at the Center for Advanced Life Cycle Engineering (CALCE) at the University of Maryland. He holds a Master's and Ph.D. in Materials Science from Carnegie Mellon University, and a Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering from Princeton University. Dr. Azarian’s primary research interests are detection, prediction, and analysis of failures in electronic components and assemblies. He has over 150 publications on electronics reliability and packaging, prognostics and health management, and tribology, and holds 6 U.S. patents. Prior to joining CALCE, he spent over a dozen years in the disk drive and fiber optics industries, having worked at Bookham Technology, W.L. Gore, Censtor, and Philips Research Laboratories. Dr. Azarian is chair of the SAE G-19A Test Laboratory Standards Development Committee which is responsible for the AS6171 family of standards on the detection of counterfeit electrical, electronic, and electromechanical parts. He is also co-chairman of the Miscellaneous Techniques sub-group of the G-19A committee. He chairs the working group responsible for the IEEE 1624 standard on the organizational reliability capability of suppliers of electronic products. He was previously chair for the IEEE 1332 Standard on reliability programs.
