Reliability Data
Description
The following cumulative test results have been obtained
from testing performed at Avago Technologies in accord-
ance with the latest revision of MIL- STD-883.
Avago tests parts at the absolute maximum rated con-
ditions recommended for the device. The actual per-
formance you obtain from Avago parts depends on the
electrical and environmental characteristics of your ap-
plication but will probably be better than the perform-
ance outlined in Table .
Failure Rate Prediction
The failure rate of semiconductor devices is determined
by the junction temperature of the device. The relation-
ship between ambient temperature and actual junction
temperature is given by the following:
T
J
(°C) = T
A
(°C) +
θ
JA
P
AVG
where
T
A
= ambient temperature in °C
θ
JA
= thermal resistance of
junction-to-ambient in °C/watt
P
AVG
= average power dissipated in watts
The estimated MTBF and failure rate at temperatures
lower than the actual stress temperature can be deter-
mined by using an Arrhenius model for temperature ac-
celeration. Results of such calculations are shown in the
table on the following page using an activation energy of
0.43 eV (reference MIL-HDBK-27).

Notes:
. The point typical MTBF (which represents 60% confidence level) is the total device hours divided by the number of failures. In the case of zero
failures, one failure is assumed for this calculation.
2. The 90% Confidence MTBF represents the minimum level of reliability performance which is expected from 90% of all samples. This confidence
interval is based on the statistics of the distribution of failures. The assumed distribution of failures is exponential. This particular distribution is
commonly used in describing useful life failures. Refer to MIL-STD-690B for details on this methodology.
3. Failures are catastrophic or parametric. Catastrophic failures are open, short, no logic output, no dynamic parameters while parametric failures
are failures to meet an electrical characteristic as specified in product catalog such as output voltage, duty or state errors.
Example of Failure Rate Calculation
Assume a device operating 8 hours/day, 5 days/week. The utilization factor, given 68 hours/week is:
(8 hours/day) x (5 days/week) / (68 hours/week) = 0.25
The point failure rate per year (8760 hours) at 50°C ambient temperature is:
(0.020% / K hours) x 0.25 x (8760 hours/year) = 0.044% per year
Similarly, 90% confidence level failure rate per year at 50°C:
(0.054% / K hours) x 0.25 x (8760 hours/year) = 0.8% per year
