I. Device Description
A. General
The MAX9118 nanopower comparator a in space-saving SC70 packages feature Beyond-the-Rails™ inputs and are
is guaranteed to operate down to +1.8V. The MAX9118 features an on-board 1.252V ±1.75% reference and draw an
ultra-low supply current of only 600nA. This feature makes the MAX9118 comparator ideal for all 2-cell battery
monitoring/management applications.
The unique design of the output stage limits supply-current surges while switching, virtually eliminating the supply
glitches typical of many other comparators. This design also minimizes overall power consumption under dynamic
conditions. The MAX9118 has an open-drain output stage that makes them suitable for mixed-voltage system
design. Large internal output drivers allow Rail-to-Rail® output swing with loads up to 5mA. The device is available in
the ultra-small 5-pin SC70 package.

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 80 x 2
(Chi square value for MTTF upper limit)
Temperature Acceleration factor assuming an activation energy of 0.8eV
λ
= 13.57 x 10
-9
λ
= 13.57 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. # 06-5415) 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 CM82-1 die type has been found to have all pins able to withstand a transient pulse of
±2000V,
per Mil-
Std-883 Method 3015 (reference attached ESD Test Circuit). Latch-Up testing has shown that this device
withstands a current of
±250mA.
