Worse Case Analysis

DESIGN PHASE:       analysis
SUB ELEMENT NAME:   worse case analysis
VARIABLE NAME:      [HEAWC]
DATE:               REVISION LETTER:    REVISION DATE:  
APPLICABILITY:      all circuits

ACTIVITY:  Determine worse case limits of circuit. Assumes use of Spice.

OUTPUT:  Worse case analysis printouts for final report.

ALGORITHM:

[HEAWC] =           engineer hours for worse case analysis
0.0+                set up time
0.0*                time per part for entering in worse case
                    limits for each part, and performing the
                    analysis and evaluation.
[PARTS COUNT]       circuit parts count
