Reliability Data Sheet
Description
The following cumulative test results have been obtained
from testing performed at Avago Technologies in accor-
dance with the latest revision of MIL-STD-883 and JEDEC.
Avago tests parts at the absolute maximum rated con-
ditions recommended for the device. The actual per-
formance you obtain from Avago parts depends on
the electrical and environmental characteristics of your
application but will probably be better than the perfor-
mance outlined in Table 1.
Failure Rate Prediction
The junction temperature of the device determines the
failure rate of semiconductor devices. The relationship
between ambient temperature and actual junction tem-
perature is given by the following:
T
J
(°C) = T
A
(°C) +
θ
JA
P
AVG
Where;
T
A
= ambient temperature in (°C)
θ
JA
= thermal resistance of junction-to ambient in °C/watt
P
AVG
= average power dissipated in watts
The estimated MTTF and failure rate at temperatures
lower than the actual stress temperature can be deter-
mined by using an Arrhenius model for temperature
acceleration. Results of such calculations are shown in the
table below using activation energy of 0.43eV (reference
MIL-HDBK-217).

Notes:
1. The 60% or 90% confidence MTTF represents the minimum level of reliability performance which is expected from 60% or 90% of all samples.
The confidence level is established based on the chi-square distribution.
2. Failure rate (FIT) is 1/MTTF x 10
5
, assuming the failures are exponentially distributed
3. A failure is any LED that is open, shorted or fails to emit light.
4. Calculated from data generated at 55°C biased at 20mA (Green) 18mA (Blue/Ice Blue/Cool White).
5. Junction temperature is calculated based on
θ
JA
= 850°C/W

Example of Failure Rate Calculation
Assume a device operating 8 hours/day, 5 days/week. The utilization factor, given 168 hours/week is:
(8 hours/day) x (5 days/week) / (168 hours/week) = 0.24
The point failure rate per year (8760 hours) at 25°C ambient temperature is (60% confidence level):
(0.54%/1K hours) x 0.24 x (8760 hours/year) = 1.13% per year
Similarly, 90% confidence level failure rate per year at 25°C:
(1.35%/1K hours) x 0.24 x (8760 hours/year) = 2.84% per year.
