What is a high availability system?

If your product needs to be "always on," have "5 nines availability" (work 99.999% of the time), if the phrase "Mission Critical" is in your design spec or if your success is being measured in Failure In Time (FIT) rates, you work with high availability systems.

Microsemi's comprehensive MPM 4.0 power management solution significantly reduces the cost and complexity of board-level power management by integrating power converter functions including sequencing, trimming, margining, monitoring, control and event logging. The solution includes a graphical user interface for defining the power sequence and a reference design containing all sources files and firmware, which can be customized to your exact mix of power rails. You have the option to purchase the evaluation kit to accelerate initial design testing.
