Introduction
This Standard specifies derating requirements applicable to electronic,
electrical and electromechanical components.
Derating is a long standing practice applied to components used on
spacecraft. Benefits of this practice are now proven, but for competitiveness
reasons, it becomes necessary to find an optimized reliability. Too high a
derating can lead to over-design, over-cost and over-sizing of components,
the direct consequence being excess volume and weight. The aim is to obtain
reliable and high performance equipment without over-sizing of the
components. For this reason and if possible, this Standard provides derating
requirements depending on mission duration and mean temperature, taking
into account demonstrated limits of component capabilities.

Derating
5.1 Overview
The term derating refers to the intentional reduction of electrical, thermal
and mechanical stresses on components to levels below their specified rating.
Derating is a means of extending component life, increasing reliability and
enhancing the end-of-life performance of equipment.
Derating participates in the protection of components from unexpected
application anomalies and board design variations.
The load ratios or limits given in clause 6 were derived from information
available at the time of writing this Standard and do not preclude further
derating for specific applications.
This Standard also defines how to handle transients.
5.2 Principles of derating
The component parameter strength defines the limits and the performance
component technology in the particular application and varies from
manufacturer to manufacturer, from type to type, and from lot to lot and can
be represented by a statistical distribution. Likewise, component stress can be
represented by a statistical distribution. Figure 5-1 illustrates the strength of a
component and the stress applied at a given time, where each characteristic is
represented by a probability density function.
A component operates in a reliable way if its parameter strength exceeds the
parameter stress. The designer should ensure that the stress applied does not
exceed the component parameter strength. This is represented by the
intersection (shaded area) in Figure 5-1. The larger the shaded area, the
higher the possibility of failure becomes.
There are two ways, which may be used simultaneously, in which the shaded
area can be decreased:
• Decrease the stress applied (which moves the stress distribution to the
left).
15

---------------------- Page: 17 ----------------------
SIST EN 16602-30-11:2022
EN 16602-30-11:2021 (E)
• Increase the component parameter strength (by selecting over-sized
components) thereby moving the strength distribution to the right.
The goal is to minimize the stress-to-strength ratio of the component.
Derating moves the parameter stress distribution to the left while the
selection processes applied to the components for space applications
contribute to moving the parameter strength distribution to the right. The
selection processes also reduce the uncertainty associated with the
component parameter strength.
Derating reduces the probability of failure, improves the end-of-life
performance of components and provides additional design margins.
Another effect of derating is to provide a safety margin for design. It allows
integrating parameter distribution from one component to another, and from
one procurement to another.

5.3.1 Overview
This Standard applies to all components, selected for space applications, that
are used for a significant duration. The meaning of “significant duration” is a
period that contributes to the component life, for instance, one month is
considered to be a significant duration. These requirements apply to
screened components procured in accordance with approved space
specifications.
This Standard only applies to approved components for which quality was

Introduction
This Standard specifies derating requirements applicable to electronic,
electrical and electromechanical components.
Derating is a long standing practice applied to components used on
spacecrafts. Benefits of this practice are now proven, but for competitiveness
reasons, it becomes necessary to find an optimized reliability. Too high a
derating can lead to over-design, over-cost and over-sizing of components, the
direct consequence being excess volume and weight. The aim is to obtain
reliable and high performance equipment without over-sizing of the
components. For this reason and if possible, this Standard provides derating
requirements depending on mission duration and mean temperature, taking
into account demonstrated limits of component capabilities.

Derating
5.1 Overview
The term derating refers to the intentional reduction of electrical, thermal and
mechanical stresses on components to levels below their specified rating.
Derating is a means of extending component life, increasing reliability and
enhancing the end-of-life performance of equipment.
Derating participates in the protection of components from unexpected
application anomalies and board design variations.
The load ratios or limits given in clause 6 were derived from information
available at the time of writing this Standard and do not preclude further
derating for specific applications.
This Standard also defines how to handle transients.
5.2 Principles of derating
The component parameter strength defines the limits and the performance
component technology in the particular application and varies from
manufacturer to manufacturer, from type to type, and from lot to lot and can
be represented by a statistical distribution. Likewise, component stress can be
represented by a statistical distribution. Figure 5-1 illustrates the strength of a
component and the stress applied at a given time, where each characteristic is
represented by a probability density function.
A component operates in a reliable way if its parameter strength exceeds the
parameter stress. The designer should ensure that the stress applied does not
exceed the component parameter strength. This is represented by the
intersection (shaded area) in Figure 5-1. The larger the shaded area, the higher
the possibility of failure becomes.
There are two ways, which may be used simultaneously, in which the shaded
area can be decreased:
 Decrease the stress applied (which moves the stress distribution to the
left).
 Increase the component parameter strength (by selecting over-sized
components) thereby moving the strength distribution to the right.
The goal is to minimize the stress-to-strength ratio of the component. Derating
moves the parameter stress distribution to the left while the selection processes
applied to the components for space applications contribute to moving the
15

---------------------- Page: 17 ----------------------
oSIST prEN 16602-30-11:2021
prEN16602-30-11:2021 (E)
parameter strength distribution to the right. The selection processes also
reduce the uncertainty associated with the component parameter strength.
Derating reduces the probability of failure, improves the end-of-life
performance of components and provides additional design margins.
Another effect of derating is to provide a safety margin for design. It allows
integrating parameter distribution from one component to another, and from
one procurement to another.

5.3 Applicability and component selection
5.3.1 Overview
This Standard applies to all components, selected for space applications, that
are used for a significant duration. The meaning of “significant duration” is a
period that contributes to the component life, for instance, one month is
considered to be a significant duration. These requirements apply to screened
components procured in accordance with approved space specifications.
This Standard only applies to approved components for which quality was
proven after rigorous testing in accordance with ECSS-Q-ST-60.
Derating applies on normal operational conditions, where “normal” is
opposed to “fault” and “Operational” indicates all functional modes of the
unit.
Derating analysis is performed at the equipment maximum hot acceptance
temperature, unless otherwise specified.

5.3.2 Requirements
a. Derating shall be applied in consideration of temperature limits
recommended by the manufacturer.
b. The derating requirements of this Standard shall not be used as a
justification to upgrade the quality level of components.
c. The derating requirements shall be taken into account at the beginning
of the design cycle of an equipment for any consequential design trade-
off to be made.
NOTE It is important to pay specific attention to
breadboards and engineering models where
parameter derating was not considered.
d. For families and groups of components excluded from this Standard
due to the lack of experimental data and failure history, the user shall
consult a component design and reliability specialist to apply the
requirements of this Standard.
e. Components may be excluded from this Standard if they are used for
short durations of less than one month provided the device ratings are
not exceeded, and it is ensured that the applied stress level does not
exceed the component maximum rating.
NOTE For example, components used in solar generator
deployment systems, redundancy commutation
and launchers (except in some specific cases,
noted family by family).
f. The derating requirements are not applicable to test conditions for
which the maximum ratings shall not be exceeded.
NOTE For example, circuit or equipment level
qualification and EMC.
g. Derating requirements are not applicable to fault conditions, for which
the maximum rating shall not be exceeded, with the exception defined
in 5.3.2h.
h. Where components are required to operate in protection mode or in fail-
safe mode in order to prevent failure propagation, the components
concerned shall meet the derating requirements and application rules
when performing the protection or fail-safe function under the worst
failure case.
NOTE 1 Short circuit is an example of failure propagation.
NOTE 2 Example of protection or fail-safe function under
the worst failure case: highest stress applied to
the components that can last throughout the
mission.
