Pi Factors Window Variations
As indicated in Part Pi Factors, variations of the Pi Factors window exist for the FIDES, IEC TR 62380, and RDF 2000 models.
• When a FIDES model is selected, Phase is shown in the Pi Factors window so that you can select the appropriate mission phase from the Prediction FIDES Mission Profile file. This particular support file stores the total mission time of the system as well as information about each of the different mission phases in which the system operates. For more information, see Prediction FIDES Mission Profile Files.
• When the IEC TR 62380 or RDF 2000 model is selected, Phase is shown in the Pi Factors window so that you can select the appropriate phase from the Prediction Cycling Profile file. This particular support file stores the operating profiles, phases, and temperatures that the system can experience in a year-long period. For more information, see Prediction Cycling Profile Files.
For the following parts, intermediate results are shown for two additional Pi factors, λ Package and λ Die:
• Integrated circuits
• Low power diodes
• Power diodes
• Low power transistors
• Power transistors
