Comprehensive System Failure Analysis in San Diego and Southern California

When it comes to ensuring the reliability of your electronic systems and devices, system failure analysis is crucial. At KEEN TRACE, we provide exceptional debugging and failure analysis services for failing electronic systems, embedded systems, and equipment. We accurately uncover the failure mechanisms and underlying root causes behind the failures.

Choose KEEN TRACE for System Failure Analysis

With our tailored approach, we excel at identifying the underlying failure mechanisms that can disrupt performance and functionality. Our in-depth analysis process comprises several key steps designed to ensure fidelity and precision.

Inspection and Verification

  • System Inspection:  We perform intial in-depth inspection to screen for obvious anomalies or defects in the failing system.
  • Failure Verification: Each reported failure mode is thoroughly reviewed and tested to validate its authenticity and reproducibility.
  • Documentation Review: Our team analyzes all relevant manuals, datasheets, and technical resources to gain a deeper understanding of the failing system.

Electrical and Mechanical Fault Localization

  • System Teardown: We conduct targeted teardowns and follow that by inspection of the electronic and mechanical  subsystems.
  • Electrcial Analysis: Utilizing various bench equipment we perform electrical test measurements at critical points within the system to identify  any abnormal signatures.
  • Failure Site Identification: Our analytical process pinpoints suspect subsystems, components, or boards.

Subsystem and PCBA Failure Analysis

If our investigation leads to an individual PCBA board or subsystem, we continue with:

  • Faulty Subsystem Replacement: If feasible, we replace the susptect subsystem, component, or board to verify the full return to functionality of the system and confirm that no other failure exists in the system.
  • Optical and X-ray Inspection: Subsequently we conduct  targeted inspections of the subsystem or board, to screen for any obvious abnormalities or damage.
  • PCBA Failure Analysis: A subsequent PCBA Failure Analysis is then carried out to  identify the physical and electrical failure mechanisms and root causes.

Final Report

After completing our comprehensive analysis, we provide a detailed final report that contains all findings and insights. Moreover, this report serves as a valuable guide to help you understand the failure mechanisms and root cause and make informed decisions moving forward.
