New Product Development
Analog Devices (ADI) follows a structured product development flow, with thorough reviews at important stages. Ongoing risk evaluation and agile project management are fundamental to this process. Various tools may be used to mitigate those risks, including Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEAs), multi-disciplined reviews, and experience sharing.
The development flow is malleable to the application's and customer's needs. It involves a formal documentation review and response system that tracks customer and product-specific requirements. ADI’s product design experience, close relationships with customers, and participation on many key industry committees give the organization the insight needed to create system solutions, including both hardware and software, for a wide range of applications.
Process Development
Advanced processes, such as those used for wafer fab, assembly, and software, are developed and qualified following world-class quality procedures in a closely leading track that feeds into the product development flow. ADI’s fabs operate under a quality system, applying the requirements of the most stringent markets for product development. This approach avoids the possibility of misprocessing while providing the highest quality and service to all customers.
Quality by Design
In addition to aggressive performance and value targets, design teams at ADI prioritize the concepts of design for manufacturing (DFM), design for reliability (DFR), and design for test (DFT) from product conception through release. This applies to both hardware and software development.
Under the guidance of manufacturing, software development operations, quality, and reliability teams and systems, each product is developed to make a smooth transition to volume production while meeting the customer’s requirements for dependability.
Cutting-edge design for test techniques ensure that shipped hardware and software products will meet their performance requirements and will be defect-free. Use of design best practices and the latest design rules are systematically deployed to all ADI design centers through centralized support organizations and tools.
Validation
Once prototypes of a new product design and software components are produced, validation begins. ADI teams of engineers will complete testing, characterization, design validation, and systems engineering. The product is evaluated for reliable performance over the application’s range of electrical and environmental conditions. Qualification stresses, such as burn-in, are also performed to confirm that the product will meet its requirements over its expected lifetime. Trial production runs verify that the manufacturing flow and software deployment processes are meeting the goals for quality.
