MIL-PRF-38535: "General Specification for Integrated Circuits (Microcircuits) Manufacturing"
Quality levels: classes M, Q, V (also called “QML-M, -Q, -V”) - Refers to MIL -STD-883 Test methods
- Class M: covered by MIL-PRF-38535 appendix A. Class M products require a vendor self certification, not a DSCC certification. DSCC performs verification audit of M level suppliers. Documented in a SMD.
- Class Q: Hermetic (non plastic) products. Military level covered by MIL-PRF-38535 main body + appendixes C, D, E, F, G, H, J. Documented in a SMD.
- Class V: Space level: class Q + appendix B requirements. Documented in a SMD.
MIL-PRF-19500: "General Specification for Semiconductor Devices - Superseding MIL-S-19500
Quality levels: classes JAN, JANTX, JANTXV, JANJ, JANS - Refers to MIL -STD-750 Test methods
- Class JAN: Military level QCI Only
- Class JANTX: Screening and QCI without Visual inspection
- Class JANTXV: JANTX with Visual inspection
- Class JANJ: Space level product as defined in the specification sheet that shall be capable of passing the test and inspections in Appendix E for JANTXV as a minimum. Not available for all semiconductor devices.
- Class JANS: Highest Space level product
Quality levels: Integrated circuits and discrete parts: based on screening level
