Failure Rate in FIT
5.462
Failure Rate in FIT is calculated according to JEDEC Standard JESD85, Methods for Calculating Failure Rates in Units of FITs,
based on accelerated high temperature operating life test results by using an apparent activation energy of 0.7 eV. The junction
temperature of the device at use is assumed to be 55_C. A constant failure rate distribution is assumed. The upper confidence
bound of the failure rate is 60%.
