MIL-PRF-38535[1] is a United States military specification that establishes the general performance and verification requirements of single die integrated circuit device type electronics.
[4] Developed in 1995 pursuant to DoD 4120.24M,[5] the QPL/QML program moved defense procurement processes away from the use of strict detail specifications to a newer system based on industry practices.
MIL-PRF-38535 allows the device manufacturer the flexibility to implement best commercial practices while still providing a product that meets military performance needs.
As a performance specification, the document provides the device manufacturers with an acceptable established baseline to support Government microcircuit application and logistic programs.
These appendices provide guidance to manufacturers on demonstrated successful approaches to meeting military performance needs.
