NASA-HDBK-8739.23A, NASA HANDBOOK: NASA COMPLEX ELECTRONICS HANDBOOK FOR ASSURANCE PROFESSIONALS (02-FEB-2016)., This handbook provides an overview of complex electronics, the design process, and assurance
activities. It does not assume to be comprehensive to specific product types or manufactures. It
discusses:
 What each device is and examples of use on NASA projects.
 How electronics engineers design and program the devices.
 What assurance and verification activities can be used for complex electronics.
 Trends in the design and assurance of complex electronics.
Additional assurance activities for complex electronics devices may be required in the future.
While this handbook will not prepare QA to perform those activities, it provides a general understanding of the devices and the design and assurance activities. It enables QA to “speak the
language” when communicating with the hardware design engineers.
