What is PD IEC TR 62396‑8 about?
PD IEC TR 62396‑8 is an international standard for process management for avionics. PD IEC TR 62396‑8 specifies the guidelines and awareness of small particles (that is, protons, electrons, pions and muon fluxes) that is useful in designing and manufacturing avionics.
PD IEC TR 62396‑8 is the eighth part of Process management for avionics in multi-series.
PD IEC TR 62396‑8 provide awareness and guidance with regard to the effects of small particles (that is, protons, electrons, pions and muon fluxes) and single event effects on avionics electronics used in aircraft operating at altitudes up to 60 000 feet (18 300 m). This is an emerging topic and lacks substantive supporting data.
Note: The overall system safety methodology is usually expanded to accommodate the single event effects rates and to demonstrate the suitability of the electronics for application at the electronic component, electronic equipment and system level.
Note 2: For the purposes of this document the terms "electronic device" and "electronic component" are used interchangeably.
Who is PD IEC TR 62396‑8 for?
PD IEC TR 62396‑8 on process management for avionics is useful for:
- Manufacturer of defence equipment
- Manufacturer of aircraft carriers
- Manufacturer of space shuttles
Why should you use PD IEC TR 62396‑8?
Avionics is a combination of aviation and electronics. These avionics is useful in communicating, navigating, monitoring, and helping in controlling the flight.
PD IEC TR 62396‑8 provides technical awareness about atmospheric secondary particles. The general source of terrestrial radiation is useful in producing the ionizing radiation by simplified mechanisms and atmospheric radiation can cause interaction with electronic components in avionics.
Alpha particle SEE tests evaluates susceptibility in radioactive contaminants contained within a DUT and help to understand the SEE phenomena due to high-energy protons. Muons and pion helps in evaluating the SEE with other charged particles. PD IEC TR 62396‑8 provides information on the high energy and low energy neutrons in avionics. PD IEC TR 62396‑8 is useful in avoiding the SEE threats with the help of proton, electron, pion, muon, alpha-ray fluxes and a single event in avionics electronic equipment.
PD IEC TR 62396‑8 provide awareness and guidance on the effects of small particles that are proton, electron, pion, muon, alpha-ray fluxes and single event used in electronic avionics.
