MIL-STD-883 Microcircuits Compliance Testing

MIL-STD-883 is the military test standard that establishes uniform methods, controls, and procedures for testing microelectronic devices. The objective is to identify devices suitable for use within military and aerospace electronic systems that withstand the deleterious effects of natural elements and conditions.

Keystone Compliance has significant experience testing devices to MIL-883. Our experts have a thorough understanding of military testing standards. We guide manufacturers through the certification process from the development if a test plan to the issuance of a test report. As an ISO-17025 accredited test lab, our test reports are recognized around the globe.

MIL-STD 883 defines devices as items such as monolithic, multichip, film and hybrid microcircuits, microcircuit arrays, and the elements from which the circuits and arrays are formed. This standard is intended to apply only to microelectronic devices.

There are three primary objectives of this military compliance standard. First, is to specify suitable conditions obtainable in the laboratory and at the device level. These conditions give test results equivalent to the actual service conditions existing in the field. It is crucial to obtain reproducibility of the results of tests.

The second objective is to describe in one standard all of the test methods of a similar character which appear in the various joint-services and NASA microelectronic device specifications. This is an objective so that these methods may be kept uniform. The result is a conservation of equipment, manhours, and testing facilities. In achieving this objective, it is necessary to make each of the general tests adaptable to a broad range of devices.

The last objective is to provide for a level of uniformity of physical, electrical and environmental testing; manufacturing controls and workmanship; and materials. This will ensure consistent quality and reliability among all devices screened in accordance with the testing standard.

The standard is broken down into five series. Included below is a summary of all of the tests and links to additional information for some of the testing.
