RELIABILITY
Ziatech has taken extra care in the design of the ZT 8809A to ensure
reliability. The four major ways in which reliability is achieved are:
1.
The product was designed in top-down fashion, utilizing the
latest in hardware and software design techniques, so that
unwanted side effects and unclean interactions between parts of
the system are eliminated.
2.
The advanced low-power Schottky TTL parts used in the
ZT 8809A are high-reliability parts available from several
manufacturers. The 74ALS series has been shown to be one of
the most reliable logic families on the market.
3.
Each ZT 8809A has an identification number and Ziatech
maintains a lifetime data base on each one and on the parts used.
Any negative trends in reliability are spotted and Ziatech’s
suppliers are informed and/or changed.
