Hardware Reliability
You might have noticed a disclaimer in the end of digital IC datasheets(eg. 74ls series), that they are not guaranteed enough for medical uses.
I have no experience with a digital IC failing (unless mishandled). Nor have i worked in any digital manufacturing companies.
So how frequent are digital component failures. Is it more for VLSI than MSI/LSI? How are the medical equipments designed/manufactured?
