A PMIC that powers every rail correctly on the bench can still fail in the field: brownouts, ignored monitoring features, and broken power-up ordering are common late-stage surprises. Here's the framework for catching them before schematic capture, not after.

Applying back end ESD standards straight into the fab often misses the mark, overcontrolling low risk areas while leaving reticle handling, ionization imbalance, and isolated conductors exposed. Here's why semiconductor fabs need their own ESD guidance document, and how it should work alongside ANSI/ESD S20.20.
