Introduction

The MIL-PRF-38535 is a military specification standard for hermetic and non-hermetic integrated circuits. This specification covers manufacturing general, quality, and reliability requirements for aerospace and defense applications. The goal is to establish a process flow baseline for quality and performance in these high reliability scenarios. Texas Instruments developed specifications and requirements for QML products to meet a level of quality that are defined in accordance with MIL-PRF-38535. The TI supplied and DLA agreed on optimizations for QML are listed in Table 1.

QML Classes

Class N – Items which have been subjected to and passed all applicable requirements of MIL-PRF-38535 including TI defined qualification testing, screening testing, and Technology Conformance Inspection and Quality Conformance Inspection (TCI/QCI), and are encapsulated in plastic (TI supplied).

Class V – Products which have been subjected to and passed all applicable requirements of MIL-PRF-38535 including qualification testing, screening testing, and TCI/QCI inspections, and have been subjected to, and passed all applicable requirements of MIL-PRF-38535 in Table 1 (TI supplied).

Class P – A non-hermetic Plastic Encapsulated Microcircuit (PEM), which meets all applicable requirements of MIL-PRF-38535 including qualification, screening and TCI/QCI inspections, and all applicable requirements in Table 1 (TI supplied).

Class Y – A microcircuit employing a non-hermetic package, which meets all applicable requirements of MIL-PRF-38535 including qualification, screening and TCI/QCI inspections, and all applicable requirements in Table 1 (TI supplied).

Class Q – Items which have been subjected to and passed all applicable requirements of MIL-PRF-38535 including qualification testing, screening testing, and TCI/QCI inspections (TI supplied).
