Engineering conditions
Use 3 key conditions to see how the assessment order changes.
Confirm observability and error reversibility before choosing electrical-model refinement or physical-interconnect sampling. Leave unknowns unconfirmed.

Live assessment
Current assessment order
Actual PHY or channel inputs remain missing. The model is only a methodological candidate.
Unconfirmed: Are actual PHY, channel, data-rate, clock, and power conditions available for a corresponding model?Complete temperature-return and power controls before destructive sampling.
Unconfirmed: Do lane errors or margins recover at the original temperature and identical power settings?candidate solutions
Assessment with your current conditions
The order changes only with conditions you confirm. Public information cannot establish suitability for your actual samples.
New test result? Update your assessment
After a controlled temperature sweep, select the main lane-error or margin response. DFx, model inputs, and reversibility guide next steps; covariance does not establish a failure cause.
Lane-error changes with temperature, power, clock, or specific lanes narrow diagnostic priorities. Covariance or persistence alone cannot prove PHY, channel, or physical-interconnect causation.
Current assessment and next steps
Based on reported conditions and public sources. Ready to assess does not establish sample applicability or root cause. Order does not identify the best solution.
Known conditions · 0
Key unknowns · 3
- Does the sample implement accessible lane margining, error logging, or equivalent DFx information?Specification support does not establish die implementation. Answer based on actual register, log, or test-interface availability.
- Are actual PHY, channel, data-rate, clock, and power conditions available for a corresponding model?A generic model cannot represent the actual D2D channel. Missing data remain model-preparation gaps.
- Do lane errors or margins recover at the original temperature and identical power settings?Reversible changes prioritize electrical and setting checks. Persistent anomalies raise physical-interconnect sampling priority.

Missing evidence and suitability conditions
- Cross-evidence for package cracks, interconnect continuity, and electrical drift is missing. No confirmed supplier solution currently supports the physical-analysis approach.
- No verified thermal-cycle lifetime or lane-error acceptance threshold is available. Define these by implementation and mission conditions.

- Do errors recover at the original temperature, distinguishing reversible drift from irreversible change?
- Are DFx / manageability implemented, with accessible records under identical conditions?
