Circuit reliability (also time availability) (CiR) is the percentage of time an electronic circuit was available for use in a specified period of scheduled availability. Circuit reliability is given by where T ₒ is the circuit total outage time, Tₛ is the circuit total scheduled time, and T ₐ is the circuit total available time. Tₛ=Tₐ+Tₒ In addition, circuit reliability is the expected lifespan of operation of a functioning system under nominal conditions.
