# Industrial Specification: Host Bus Interface

## 1. Technical Definition
The interface component within a RAID controller that manages communication between the controller and the host computer system.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.95-1.05V signal voltage, 0-70°C ambient temperature, 0-100% relative humidity (non-condensing)**. Failure boundary: **Signal voltage deviation beyond ±5% of nominal 1.0V, junction temperature exceeding 125°C, cumulative thermal cycling exceeding 1000 cycles between -40°C and 85°C**, Mechanism: **Electromigration in copper interconnects at current densities exceeding 1×10⁶ A/cm², dielectric breakdown at electric field strengths above 5 MV/cm, solder joint fatigue due to coefficient of thermal expansion mismatch (CTE: 17 ppm/°C for PCB vs 24 ppm/°C for BGA)**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Joule Heating & Thermal Resistance**:

> **Primary Equation**: $P = I^2 R = \frac{V^2}{R}$
