Failure Rate Calculation Failure in Time Values (FIT, MTBF)

View PDF data sheet

Our steady state FIT values are calculated per Telcordia SR-332 Issue 4 (2016). These calculations are based on the following conditions:

Environment Ground, Fixed, Controlled
Device Method I-D
Quality Level II
Electrical stress 50%
Operating Temperature 85°C
Activation energy 0.15 eV
MTBF = 10⁹ (hours) / FIT
