HEDL-9X00

HEDL-5500, HEDL-5600, HEDL-6500, HEDL-9x00 Series Motion Sensing Products, Optical Encoder Modules Reliability Data Sheet Description The following cumulative test results have been obtained from testing performed at Avago Technologies Malaysia in accordance with the latest revisions of JEDEC standards Avago tests parts at the absolute maximum rated conditions recommended for the device. The actual performance you obtain from Avago parts depends on the electrical and environmental characteristics of your application but will probably be better than the performance outlined in Table 1. Failure Rate Prediction The failure rate of semiconductor devices is determined by the junction temperature of the device. The relationship between ambient temperature and actual junction temperature is given by the following: TJ(°C) = TA(°C) + θJAPAVG where TA = ambient temperature in °C θJA = thermal resistance of junction-to-ambient in °C/Watt PAVG = average power dissipated in Watt The estimated MTTF and failure rate at temperatures lower than the actual stress temperature can be determined by using an Arrhenius model for temperature acceleration. Results of such calculations are shown in the table below using an activation energy of 0.43eV (reference MIL-HDBK-217). Table 1.

The point typical MTTF (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 MTTF 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. 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 168 hours/week is: (8 hours/day) x (5 days/week) / (168 hours/week) = 0.25 The point failure rate per year (8760 hours) at 50°C ambient temperature is: (0.43% / 1K hours) x 0.25 X (8760 hours/year) = 0.94% per year Similarly, 90% confidence level failure rate per year at 50°C: (1.08% / 1K hours) X 0.25 X (8760 hours/year) = 2.36% per year Table 3.
