Omnicon Introduces New Software for Sneak Circuit Service

HAUPPAUGE, NY - September 23, 2008 - “Sneaks” are hidden paths or interactions in hardware and software that cause unexpected and undesirable events in certain circumstances.  Sneaks can also interfere with expected events.  For example, sneak paths might cause loss of flight control on an aircraft, opening of doors on the wrong side of a train, or inadvertent launch of a missile.  Out of necessity, analysis techniques to find these sneak paths have been developed some time ago.  In fact, NASA developed sneak circuit analysis for their electronic systems in the 1960s.

Unfortunately, traditional sneak circuit analysis is an expensive and lengthy effort because it is a manual process.  This means that it is applied only to critical system designs supported by large budgets.  In addition, the difficult and tedious nature of the task often leads to an incomplete analysis, or one with incorrect conclusions.

The good news is that Omnicon has recently developed new Sneak Circuit Analysis software that minimizes these analysis problems while greatly speeding the process.  Compared to traditional sneak circuit analysis, this proprietary tool performs the analysis with far higher quality while lowering the cost as much as 80%.  With Omnicon, it is now feasible to perform sneak circuit analysis on virtually any safety-critical design to improve reliability – and prevent catastrophe.
