The course also emphasizes the product reliability improvements that are possible when a WCCA is combined with MTBF, FMECA, and Stress and Derating analyses. <br /> <br /> The course is designed to provide the participant with the fundamental skills and knowledge required to perform a Worst Case Circuit Analysis (WCCA or WCA). Participants learn the importance of this analysis and the different methods which can be utilized. The proper documentation format for communicating the analysis results is introduced with detailed and complete examples allowing the participant to gain a full understanding. In-depth tolerance studies and their evaluation are presented for most common electronic components. <br /> <br /> The "WCCA Savvy Workshop" is taught personally by Steve Sandler, renowned WCCA expert and founder of Analytical Engineering. <br /> <br /> This two-day seminar is beneficial for both the novice wanting to learn worst case analysis concepts, as well as the engineering manager looking for an update on this vital technology. <br /> <br /> Each class is specially tailored to the individuals and the disciplines (power, RF, IC) chosen by the students attending the particular seminar. Circuit examples, issues, and documentation techniques will be used that address the specific problems and pitfalls that the students are encountering in their daily jobs.Z <br /> <br /> <b>Upon completion, participants will be able to:</b> <br /> 1. Learn the importance of why we perform a worst case analysis. <br /> 2. Learn the methods used in performing the analysis. <br /> 3. Learn the proper documentation methods. <br /> 4. Learn to deal with poorly defined tolerances. <br /> 5. Understand the challenges presented by data sheet information and how to validate key characterisits via test. <br /> <br /> <b>Materials and Time Frame</b> <br /> Ï% WCCA Workshop Handouts Book (230+ Slides and Notes pages) <br /> Ï% WCCA Workshop Examples Book (260+ pages) <br /> Ï% Additional Applicable Articles and Source Materials <br /> Ï% Breakfast, Lunch and Refreshments Two Days, 8 Hours a day </p> </div> </div> <div id="text-box-right_"> <div style="width: 400px; left: 15px; top: 0px; position:absolute;"> <p style="text-align: justify; width: 400px; margin-left: 10px; margin-top: 20px;"> <b style="font-size:larger;">Click here for</b> <a href="wcca-training-course-details.htm" style="font-size:larger;color:Red;"><b>Course Details</b></a> <br /> <br /> <b style="font-size:larger;">Course Background</b> <br /> The "WCCA Savvy" workshop has been taught at major corporations across the USA including Motorola, Dell, Canadian Space Agency, Raytheon, and General Dynamics.

In his current position Mr. Sandler is responsible for the design, worst case analysis, reliability analysis, and FMECA analysis of satellite and power electronic systems. Past projects include: ATLAS (CERN), GPS II and GPS III, WGS, SBIRS, JUNO, Milstar II, ISS, GMI, NPOESS, MUOS, CMIS, Tempo, P-81, HS-702, ICO, LS-1300, Mabuhaysat, Globalstar, Omegasat, NSTAR and many others. <br /> <br /> Mr. Sandler also personally designed and directed the development efforts behind AEi System's own line of space, military and commercial DC to DC converters, and developed a comprehensive power IC model library for SPICE simulators. <br /> <br /> Mr. Sandler is the author of several books and numerous articles on power supply modeling and simulation including, "Switchmode Power Supply Simulation with PSpice", and "The SPICE Handbook of 50 Basic Circuits". From 1985  1995 Mr. Sandler worked for ST Keltec Corp. Space Power Group as an application engineer and sales and product manager. Before 1985, Mr. Sandler held positions with Telephonics Corp. Signal Technology, Aerospace Avionics Inc., and Lambda Electronics. <br /> <br /> Mr. Sandler is also the founder of Picotest.com, a company that distributes test equipment including the new Signal Injector product line designed for testing linear and switching power supplies, a Test & Measurement World Magazine  Best in Test Finalist this year. Mr. Sandler is the holder of US Patent Number 4,541,039, Magnetic Modulator, Sept. 1985. Mr. Sandler received his BSEE degree from Pacific Western University. <br /> <br /> </p> </div> </div> <div id="footer_"> <center> <p style="color: Gray;"> <a href="services.htm">Analysis</a> | <a href="spice.htm">SPICE Modeling</a> | <a href="publications.htm">Publications</a><br /> <a href="index.htm">Home</a> | <a href="services.htm">Services</a> | <a href="about.htm"> About Us</a> | <a href="contact.htm">Contact Us</a> | <a href="jobs.htm">Jobs</a><br /> <a href="terms.htm">Terms of Use</a> | <a href="site.htm">Site Map</a><br /> <br /> ©AEi Systems, LLC.
