Passing harsh environment tests, highly accelerated stress tests (HAST), and other qualifiers brings MEMS-based timing viability for high-volume manufacturing, said Ed Grant, VP North American products and operations, Vectron International, a strategic partner of Discera. High-temperature storage test, thermal shock tests, and others are typical for quartz-based devices, added Bahle, noting that HAST and further, more rigorous tests were borrowed from semiconductor qualification environments.
