Abstract
In some examples, a circuit may be configured to perform a method that includes performing a circuit function via a circuit function unit of a circuit, receiving sensor data from one or more sensors associated with the circuit function unit, and estimating a remaining life of the circuit based on an accelerated reliability model and the sensor data, wherein the sensor data comprises input to the accelerated reliability model. The circuit itself may include a dedicated circuit unit that estimates the remaining life of the circuit based on an accelerated reliability model and the sensor data, and the circuit may output one or more predictive alerts or predictive faults when the remaining life is below a threshold, which may prompt the system for predictive maintenance on the circuit.
