UM491 Rev. A RELIABILITY REPORT FOR UM491 PLASTIC ENCAPSULATED DEVICES June 20, 2009 UNION INTEGRATED PRODUCTS Written by Reviewed by Licheng Wen Tina Liu Quality Assurance Reliability Engineer Quality Assurance Executive Director Conclusion The UM491 successfully meets the quality and reliability standards required of all Union products. In addition, Union’s continuous reliability monitoring program ensures that all outgoing products will continue to meet Union’s quality and reliability standards.

General The UM491 is ±15kV electrostatic discharge (ESD)-protected, high-speed transceivers for RS-422 communication that contain one driver and one receiver. The device features fail-safe circuitry, which guarantees a logic-high receiver output when the receiver inputs are open or shorted. This means that the receiver output will be a logic high if all transmitters on a terminated bus are disabled (high impedance). The UM491 offers higher driver output slew-rate limits, allowing transmit speeds up to 2.5Mbps. The device features enhanced ESD protection. All transmitter outputs and receiver inputs are protected to ±15kV using the Human Body Model. These transceivers typically draw 375μA of supply current when unloaded, or when fully loaded with the drivers disabled. The device has a 1/8-unit-load receiver input impedance that allows up to 256 transceivers on the bus. The UM491 is intended for full-duplex communications. B.

Outgoing Inspection Level: 0.1% for all electrical parameters guaranteed by the Datasheet. 0.1% for all Visual Defects. B. Observed Outgoing Defect Rate: C. Sampling Plan: < 50 ppm Mil-Std-105D Reliability Evaluation A. Accelerated Life Test The results of the 135°C biased (static) life tes t are shown in Table 1. Failure Rate (λ) is calculated as follows: λ= 1 MTTF = 1.83 192 × 4389 × 77 × 2 Using these results, the (Chi square value for MTTF upper limit) Thermal acceleration factor assuming a 0.8eV activation energy λ = 14.10 x 10-9 λ= 14.10 F.I.T. (60% confidence level @ 25°C) This low failure rate represents data collected from Union’s reliability qualification and monitor programs. Union also performs weekly Burn-In on samples from production to assure the reliability of its processes. The reliability required for lots which receive a burn-in qualification is 59 F.I.T. at a 60% confidence level, which equates to 3 failures in an 80 piece sample. Union performs failure analysis on lots exceeding this level. The following Burn-In Schematic shows the static circuit used for this test. B. Moisture Resistance Tests Union evaluates pressure pot stress from every assembly process during qualification of each new design. Pressure Pot testing must pass a 20% LTPD for acceptance. Additionally, industry standard 85 C/85%RH or HAST tests are performed quarterly per device/package family. C. E.S.D. and Latch-Up Testing The UM003R1 die type has been found to have all pins able to withstand a transient pulse of ± 2000V, per Mil-Std883 Method 3015 (reference attached ESD Test Circuit). Latch-Up testing has shown that this device withstands a current of ± 200mA.
