View source for Circuit reliability

'''Circuit reliability''' (also '''time availability''') (''CiR'') is the percentage of [[time]] an electronic circuit was available for use in a specified period of scheduled [[availability]].  Circuit [[Reliability engineering|reliability]] is given by where ''T'' <sub>o</sub> is the circuit total outage time, ''T<sub>s</sub>'' is the circuit total scheduled time, and ''T'' <sub>a</sub> is the circuit total [[available time]]. <math>T_s = T_a + T_o</math> 

In addition, circuit reliability is the expected lifespan of operation of a functioning system under nominal conditions.
