I. Device Description
A. General
The MAX4007 precision, high-side, current monitor is specifically designed for monitoring photodiode current in fiber
applications. It offers a connection point for the reference current and a monitor output that produces a signal
proportional to the reference current. The monitor output of the MAX4007 is a current proportional to the reference
current. The current monitor has six decades of dynamic range and monitor reference current of 250nA to 2.5mA
with better than 5% accuracy. The photodiode current can be monitored from 10nA to 10mA with reduced accuracy.
The MAX4007 accepta a supply voltage of +2.7V to +76V, suitable for APD or PIN photodiode applications. Internal
current limiting (20mA, typ) protects the device against short circuit to ground. A clamp diode protects the monitor
output from overvoltage. Additionally, thia devices feature thermal shutdown if the die temperature reaches +150°C.
The MAX4007 is available in tiny, space-saving 6-pin SOT23 packages, and operates over the extended temperature
range of -40°C to +85°C.

VI. Reliability Evaluation
A. Accelerated Life Test
The results of the 135°C biased (static) life test are shown in
Table 1.
Using these results, the Failure
Rate (λ) is calculated as follows:
λ
=
1
=
MTTF
1.83
192 x 4389 x 48 x 2
(Chi square value for MTTF upper limit)
Temperature Acceleration factor assuming an activation energy of 0.8eV
λ
= 22.62 x 10
-9
λ
= 22.62 F.I.T. (60% confidence level @ 25°C)
This low failure rate represents data collected from Maxim’s reliability monitor program. In addition to
routine production Burn-In, Maxim pulls a sample from every fabrication process three times per week and subjects
it to an extended Burn-In prior to shipment to ensure its reliability. The reliability control level for each lot to be
shipped as standard product is 59 F.I.T. at a 60% confidence level, which equates to 3 failures in an 80 piece
sample. Maxim performs failure analysis on any lot that exceeds this reliability control level. Attached Burn-In
Schematic (Spec. # 06-6107) shows the static Burn-In circuit. Maxim also performs quarterly 1000 hour life test
monitors. This data is published in the Product Reliability Report (RR-1M).
B. Moisture Resistance Tests
Maxim pulls pressure pot samples from every assembly process three times per week. Each lot sample
must meet an LTPD = 20 or less before shipment as standard product. Additionally, the industry standard
85°C/85%RH testing is done per generic device/package family once a quarter.
C. E.S.D. and Latch-Up Testing
The OY13 die type has been found to have all pins able to withstand a transient pulse of
±2500V,
per Mil-
Std-883 Method 3015 (reference attached ESD Test Circuit). Latch-Up testing has shown that this device
withstands a current of
±250mA.
