MIL-PRF-38535K
APPENDIX A
MICROCIRCUIT SPECIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
A.1 SCOPE
A.1.1 Scope. This appendix establishes the minimum requirements for MIL-STD-883 compliant class level B and
S, monolithic and multichip microcircuits and the quality and reliability assurance requirements that are to be met in
the acquisition of these microcircuits. This appendix will also be required as a performance baseline for qualified
manufacturer listing (QML) class level B and S microcircuits. Detail requirements, specific characteristics of
microcircuits, and other provisions which are sensitive to the particular use intended are to be specified in the
applicable device specification. Two levels, class B and S, of product assurance requirements and control for
monolithic and multichip microcircuits are provided for in this appendix. It is the intent of the Government that a
compliant manufacturer can use this appendix as the first step to becoming a qualified manufacturer under the QML
program. This appendix is a mandatory part of the specification. The information contained herein is intended for
compliance. However, for QML microcircuits the manufacturers may offer approved alternatives that demonstrate a
process control system that achieves at least the same level of quality and reliability as could be achieved by this
appendix.
A.2 APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS
A.2.1 General. The documents listed in this section are specified in sections A.3, A.4, or A.5 of this appendix.
This section does not include documents cited in other sections of this appendix or recommended for additional
