Reliability Data Sheet
Description
Definition of Failure
This document's reliability data shown includes Broadcom Ltd.
reliability test data from the tests done on this product family.
All of these products use the similar wafer technology. The data
in Table 1 and Table 2 reflect actual test data for devices on a
per-channel basis. Before stress, all devices are preconditioned
at MSL 1 using a solder reflow process (260°C peak
temperature) and 20 temperature cycles (–55°C to +125°C,
15 mins dwell, 1 min transfer). These data are taken from
testing on Broadcom devices using internal Broadcom
processes, material specifications, design standards, and
statistical process controls. They are not transferable to other
manufacturers' similar part types.
Inability to switch, i.e., functional failure, is the definition of
failure in this data sheet. Specifically, failure occurs when the
device fails to switch ON with twice the minimum
recommended drive current (but not exceeding the maximum
rating) or fails to switch off when there is no input current.
Failure Rate Projections
The demonstrated point mean time to failure (MTTF) is
measured at the absolute maximum stress condition. The
failure rate projections in Table 2 uses the Arrhenius
acceleration relationship, where a 0.43 eV activation energy is
used as in the hybrid section of MIL-HDBK-217.
Operating Life Test
For valid system reliability calculations, it is necessary to adjust
for the time when the system is not in operation. Note that if
you are using MIL-HDBK-217 for predicting component
reliability, the results may not be comparable to those given in
Table 2 due to different conditions and factors that have been
accounted for in MIL-HDBK-217. For example, it is unlikely that
your application will exercise all available channels at full rated
power with the IC always ON as Broadcom testing does. Thus,
your application total power and duty cycle must be carefully
considered when comparing Table 2 to predictions using
MIL-HDBK-217.
Application Information
The data of Table 1 and Table 2 were obtained on devices with
high temperature operating life duration. An exponential
(random) failure distribution is assumed, expressed in units of
FIT (failures per billion device hours) are only defined in the
random failure portion of the reliability curve.
