Space product assurance - Worst case analysis
This handbook provides guidelines to perform the worst case analysis. It applies to all electrical and electronic equipment. This worst case analysis (WCA) method can also be applied at subsystem level to justify electrical interface specifications and design margins for equipment. It applies to all project phases where electrical interface requirements are established and circuit design is carried out.
The worst case analysis is generally carried out when designing the circuit. For selected circuitry, worst case analysis (WCA) can be used to validate a conceptual design approach.

Zagotavljanje kakovosti proizvodov v vesoljski tehniki - Analiza najslabšega primera
V tem priročniku so podane smernice za izvedbo analize najslabšega primera. Uporablja se za vso električno in elektronsko opremo. To metodo analize najslabšega primera (WCA) je mogoče uporabiti tudi na ravni podsistema za utemeljevanje specifikacij električnih vmesnikov in mejnih vrednosti pri načrtovanju opreme. Metoda se uporablja za vse faze projekta, v katerih se določijo zahteve za električni vmesnik in izvede načrtovanje vezja.
Analiza najslabšega primera se običajno izvede med načrtovanjem vezja. Za izbrano vezje je mogoče analizo najslabšega primera uporabiti za potrjevanje pristopa konceptualnega načrtovanja.

European Foreword
This document (CEN/TR 17602-30-01:2021) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/CLC/JTC 5
“Space”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
It is highlighted that this technical report does not contain any requirement but only collection of data
or descriptions and guidelines about how to organize and perform the work in support of EN 16602-30.
This Technical report (CEN/TR 17602-30-01:2021) originates from ECSS-Q-HB-30-01A.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such
patent rights.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and
the European Free Trade Association.
This document has been developed to cover specifically space systems and has therefore precedence
over any TR covering the same scope but with a wider domain of applicability (e.g.: aerospace).
Scope
This handbook provides guidelines to perform the worst case analysis. It applies to all electrical and
electronic equipment. This worst case analysis (WCA) method can also be applied at subsystem level to
justify electrical interface specifications and design margins for equipment. It applies to all project
phases where electrical interface requirements are established and circuit design is carried out.
The worst case analysis is generally carried out when designing the circuit. For selected circuitry, worst
case analysis (WCA) can be used to validate a conceptual design approach.

General methodology
4.1 Introduction
The worst case analysis (WCA) is performed on electronic and electrical equipment to demonstrate that
it performs within specification despite particular variations in its constituent part parameters and the
imposed environment, at the end of overall lifetime (EOL).
A good survey of worst case circuit analysis can be found in CRTAWCCA “Worst Case Circuit Analysis
Application Guidelines, 1993 Reliability Analysis Center, Rome NY, U.S.A.”.
4.2 Flow diagram of WCA
The worst case analysis is used to demonstrate sufficient operating margins for all operating conditions
in electronic circuits.
A flow diagram of WCA is shown in Figure 4-1.
