BQR’s fiXtress provides a powerful tool for electronic product reliability analysis. Derating analysis can identify components that are over-stressed or over-designed and may need to be changed. Stress-based MTBF predictions provide a realistic estimate for the mean time until product failure after derating analysis. FiXtress is an advanced Design for Reliability suite that can be added to any Electronic Design Automation tool. FiXtress modules are available as standalone modules or in combination with other modules to create a comprehensive DfR solution. Unique thermal analysis that estimates average temperature rise on the cold plate for accurate stress derating.

Electronic designs are becoming more complex, making them harder to detect errors. These errors can result in high costs and hundreds or hours of work. It is important to detect these errors early on in order to prevent damage. In many cases, these mistakes are only discovered during the testing phase or on the customer's premises. BQR CircuitHawk, a unique and powerful (patent-based) tool for electrical circuit stress analysis and design error detection is available. CircuitHawk detects errors in the design phase before layout and production. So, during the final verification, no errors in schematics, connectivity, or stress are detected. CircuitHawk reduces design cycles and the time to market. This saves money and improves corporate reputation. CircuitHawk integrates design error detection, thermal, MTBF, and service life predictions at the schematic level before PCB layout and manufacturing.
