Accelerated environmental tests are performed on a specific sample size, and then followed by electrical test at end point. Review of final electrical test result confirms that AO4404 passes AOS quality and reliability requirements. The released product will be categorized by the process family and be monitored on a quarterly basis for continuously improving the product quality. Table of Contents: I. II. III. IV. V. Product Description Package and Die information Environmental Stress Test Summary and Result Reliability Evaluation Quality Assurance Information I. Product Description: The AO4404 uses advanced trench technology to provide excellent RDS(ON), low gate charge and operation with gate voltages as low as 2.5V. This device is suitable for use as a load switch or in PWM applications. The source leads are separated to allow a Kelvin connection to the source, which may be used to bypass the source inductance. Standard Product AO4404 is Pb-free (meets ROHS & Sony 259 specifications). AO4404L is a Green Product ordering option. AO4404 and AO4404L are electrically identical.

Reliability Evaluation FIT rate (per billion): 10.8 MTTF = 10569 years In general, 500 hrs of HTGB, 150 deg C accelerated stress testing is equivalent to 15 years of lifetime at 55 deg C operating conditions (by applying the Arrhenius equation with an activation energy of 0.7eV and 60% of upper confidence level on the failure rate calculation). AOS reliability group also routinely monitors the product reliability up to 1000 hr at and performs the necessary failure analysis on the units failed for reliability test(s). The presentation of FIT rate for the individual product reliability is restricted by the actual burn-in sample size of the selected product (AO4404). Failure Rate Determination is based on JEDEC Standard JESD 85. FIT means one failure per billion hours. Failure Rate = Chi2 x 109 / [2 (N) (H) (Af)] = 1.83 x 109 / [2 (2×164) (1000) (258)] = 10.8 MTTF = 109 / FIT = 9.2x 107hrs = 10569years Chi² = Chi Squared Distribution, determined by the number of failures and confidence interval N = Total Number of units from HTRB and HTGB tests H = Duration of HTRB/HTGB testing Af = Acceleration Factor from Test to Use Conditions (Ea = 0.7eV and Tuse = 55°C) Acceleration Factor [Af] = Exp [Ea / k (1/Tj u – 1/Tj s)] Acceleration Factor ratio list: Af 55 deg C 70 deg C 85 deg C 100 deg C 115 deg C 130 deg C 150 deg C 258 87 32 13 5.64 2.59 1 Tj s = Stressed junction temperature in degree (Kelvin), K = C+273.16 Tj u =The use junction temperature in degree (Kelvin), K = C+273.16 k = Boltzmann’s constant, 8.617164 X 10-5eV / K 4 V.
