RELIABILITY
Ziatech has taken extra care in the design of the ZT 8832 to ensure
reliability. The four major ways in which reliability is achieved are:
1. The product was designed in top-down fashion, using the latest
in hardware and software design techniques, so that unwanted
side effects and unclean interactions between parts of the system
are eliminated.
2. The advanced low-power Schottky TTL devices and the high
speed CMOS TTL devices used in the ZT 8832 are high-
reliability parts available from several manufacturers.
3. Ziatech tests each board under power to ensure that the infant
mortality phase is passed before the product is shipped.
4. Each ZT 8832 has an identification number. Ziatech maintains a
lifetime data base on each board and on the parts used. Any
negative trends in reliability are spotted and Ziatech’s suppliers
are informed and/or changed.
