Prerequisites: a SOX project has been created and the Repository view is active.

 

  1. Open the SOX project in the repository view.

  2. Right-click on the BOM folder.

  3. Choose New > New BOM file. - Outcome: the dialog "Create a new BOM file" will open.

  4. Click on Browse... and choose your target folder.

  5. Enter a name for the BOM file.

  6. Choose the method for failure mode catalog handling.

  7. Choose a failure rate catalog. FIT rates can be calculated according to different norms (i.e.
    IEC62380, SN29500).

  8. Optionally, enter a Description that helps somebody else understand the content.

  9. Optionally, FIT Analysis Types allows to add hard or soft errors for semiconductor devices.

  10. Click Finish. - Outcome: a BOM file was created and added to the repository.

 

Note: The FIT Analysis Type in step 9. is used to cover soft errors on semiconductor devices. One or more Fit Analysis Types can be added to a SOX BOM document. Each FIT Analysis Type can be assigned to any Component or Module.
