New York: Van Nostrand Reinhold; 1986 (A second edition issued in 1995.) 3 Definitions For the purpose of this standard, the following definitions apply. 3.1 baseline: Initial parameter measurement taken prior to any application of stress. 3.2 block error rate (BLER): As defined in ISO/IEC 908, B

16、LER is the ratio of erroneous blocks to total blocks measured at the input of the first (Cl) decoder (before any error correction is applied). The more commonly reported value for BLER is the number of erroneous blocks per second measured at the input of the C1-decoder during playback at the standar

17、d (1X) data rate. 3.2.1 maximum block error rate (max BLER): Maximum BLER measured anywhere on a disc. 3.3 compact disc-recordable (CD-R): Recordable disc which, after recording, satisfies the specifications as written in the disc parameters clause (clause 2) of ISO/IEC 908. The term, compact disowr

18、ite once (CD-WO), has also been used to describe this type of disc. 3.4 cumulative distribution function, F(t): Fraction of all units in the population that fail by time t. Also, the probability that a random unit drawn from the population fails by time t. 3.5 disc-at-once recording: Method of recor

19、ding a CD-R disc whereby the entire CD is recorded in one pass without turning off the laser. 3.6 end-of-life: Occurrence of any loss of information. - 2, For electronic copies of some standards, visit ANSIs Electronic Standards Store (ES) at www.ansi.org.

21、ient of thermal expansion, dielectric loss, etc.) undergo dramatic change over a narrow temperature range. The midpoint of the temperature span over which this change in properties occurs is the glass transition temperature. 3.8 information: Signal or image recorded using the system. 3.9 life expect

22、ancy (LE): Length of time that information is predicted to be retrievable in a system under extended-term storage conditions. 3.9.1 standardized life expectancy: Minimum life span, predicted with 95% confidence, of 95% of product stored at a temperature not exceeding 25OC and a relative humidity not

23、 exceeding 50% RH. 3.1 O lognormal cumulative distribution function: It is defined by the following equation: where f is the time; 0, Pl is the log mean ioge(x) is the log standard deviation; is the natural logarithm of x NOTE - When t =epL the lognormal cumulative distribution function evaluates to

24、 0.5. In other words, the model predicts that at that time half of the samples have failed. 3.1 1 retrievability: Ready access to information as recorded. 3.12 stress: Experimental variable to which the specimen is exposed for the duration of the test interval. In this standard, stresses are confine

25、d to temperature and relative humidity. 3.13 survivor function, (q: Fraction of all units in the population that survive at least time f. Also, the probability that a random unit drawn from the population survives at least time f. R(f) = 1 - F(f) 3.14 system: Consists of recording medium, hardware,

26、software, and documentation necessary to retrieve information. 3.15 test cell: Device that controls the stress to which the specimen is exposed. 3.16 track-at-once recording: Method of recording a CD-R disc whereby each track is recorded individually with 150 empty sectors immediately preceding it a

27、nd two run-out sectors immediately following. 3.17 uncorrectable error: Error in the playback data that is not correctable by the Cross Inferleave eed-Solomon Code defined in ISO/IEC 908 (clause 16, error correction) as implemented in a system. 3 ANWPIMA lT9.27-1999 4 Measurements 4.1 Summary A samp

28、ling of eighty recorded discs is divided into five groups according to a specified plan. Each group of discs is exposed to one of five stresses, combinations of temperature and relative humidity. Periodically during the course of the exposure, all discs from each stress group have their block error

29、rate measured. Data collected at each test interval for each individual disc are used to determine a lifetime for that disc. The disc lifetimes at each stress are fitted to a lognormal distribution to determine a mean lifetime for the stress. The resulting five mean lifetimes are regressed against t

30、emperature and relative humidity according to an Eyring acceleration model. This model is then used to estimate the distribution of lifetimes at a usage condition. 4.2 BLER End-of-life is the occurrence of any loss of information. Ideally, each sample is tested until the first loss of information oc

31、curs. Realistically, this is impractical. This standard considers maximum BLER to be a high-level estimate of the performance of the system. The objective of measuring BLER is to establish a practical estimation of the systems ability to read the recorded data without uncorrectable error. Change in

32、maximum BLER in response to the time at accelerated temperature and humidity is the principal quality parameter. ISOAEC 908 states that the BLER averaged over any 1 O seconds shall be less than 3x10“. At the standard (1X) data rate, the total number of blocks per second entering the C1- decoder is 7

33、350. Thus, an equivalent limit on BLER is 220 blocks/second. For the purposes of this standard, recorded data is considered to have reached end-of-life when the BLER, measured as erroneous blocks per second, exceeds 220 anywhere on the disc, i.e. when max BLER exceeds 220. It is recognized that the

34、correlation between actual loss of information and rnax BLER is very system dependent. A BLER of 220 is an arbitrary level chosen as a predictor of the onset of uncorrectable errors and thereby end-of-life. 4.3 Test equipment Any compact disc test system (tester) that conforms to ISOAEC 10149 may be

35、 used. The make, model, and version of the test equipment (including software) shall be reported with the test results. 4.3.1 Calibration and repeatability A calibration according to the tester manufacturers procedure shall be performed prior to any measurement data being collected. A calibration di

36、sc shall be available from the tester manufacturer. In addition to the calibration disc one control disc shall be maintained at ambient conditions, and its rnax BLER measured before and after each data collection interval. A control chart shall be maintained for this control disc. The mean and stand

37、ard deviation of the control disc shall be established by collecting at least five measurements. Should any individual rnax BLER reading differ from the mean by more than three times the standard deviation, the problem shall be corrected and all data collected since the last valid control point shal

38、l be remeasured. If it becomes necessary to replace the tester, the National Bureau of Standards Handbook 91 3 shall be followed for correlating tester outputs. 4 STD=ANSI IT9-27-ENGL 3999 U 0724350 O556372 871 ANSIIPIMA lT9.27-1999 4.4 Test specimen A test specimen is any disc that, after recording

39、, meets ISOAEC 10149 specifications and contains representative data extending to within 2 mm of the maximum recording diameter 4.4.1 Specimen selection All discs shall be nominally identical with regard to substrate groove structure, layer structure, coating composition, recording capacity, and age

40、 prior to test initiation. It is preferred that media be chosen from different lots and production lines in order to be representative of normal process variations. All discs shall be maintained within manufacturers shipping and storage conditions prior to recording. The nominal disc capacity shall

41、be reported with the test results. 4.4.2 Recording system Sample discs may be recorded in any appropriate recording device. Since the extrapolated lifetime is a function of the system including the media, all discs shall be recorded identically to the extent possible. Similar recording devices shall

42、 be used as well as similar software and recording conditions. Discs recorded on different physical devices shall be distributed as equally as possible across the test cells. The make and model of the recording device, the linear velocity employed during recording, and the software used in the recor

43、ding system shall be reported with the test results. 4.4.3 Ambient recording conditions Ambient conditions during recording shall be within the following limits: Temperature: 15C to 35C Relative humidity: 45% RH to 75% RH. During recording, the recording system shall be isolated from external vibrat

44、ions. 4.4.4 Recording method It is strongly recommended that all discs be recorded using the disc-at-once method. If discs are recorded using the track-at-once method, all errors occurring at the gap between tracks shall be ignored for the purpose of this standard. Packet writing shall not be employ

45、ed. Independent of the writing method, the sample discs shall be recorded as a single session and fixated. 5 Accelerated stress test plan 5.1 Introduction Information properly recorded in a CD-R system of good manufacture should have a life of several years or even decades. Consequently, it is neces

46、sary to conduct accelerated aging studies in order to develop a life expectancy estimate. The key is conducting and evaluating a test plan that will provide the information necessary to satisfactorily evaluate the particular system. 5 ANWPIMA lT9.27-1999 Many accelerated life test plans follow a rat

47、her traditional approach in sampling, experimentation, and data evaluation. These traditional plans share the following characteristics: a) The total number of specimens is evenly divided amongst all of the accelerated stresses; b) Each stress is evaluated at the same time increments; c) The Arrheni

48、us relationship is used as the acceleration model; d) The Least Squares method is used for all regressions; e) The calculated life expectancy is for the mean or median life rather than for the first few failure percentiles. On the other hand, optimum test plans have been proposed which differ in sig

49、nificant aspects from traditional plans. These plans have the following characteristics: - two and only two acceleration levels for each stress; - a large number of specimen distributed mostly in the lowest stress levels; - the need to know the failure distribution, a priori, in order to develop the plan. The maximum effectiveness of a plan can either be estimated before the test starts or determined after the results have been obtained. As each CD-R system will have different characteristics, a specific, detailed optimum plan is impossible to f
