I. Device Description
A. General
The MAX3518 is an integrated CATV upstream amplifier IC designed to meet the DOCSIS 3.0 requirements, while dissipating only 1.25W. The
amplifier covers a 5MHz to 85MHz input frequency range (275MHz, 3dB bandwidth), and is capable of transmitting four QPSK modulated carriers,
each at +58dBmV, simultaneously within this range. Both input and output ports are differential, requiring that an external balun be used at the output
port. The gain is controlled in 1dB steps over a 63dB range using a SPI(tm) 3-wire interface. The MAX3518 operates from a single +5V supply. Four
power codes are provided to allow maximum supply current to be reduced as determined by distortion requirements. In addition, for each power code,
supply current is automatically reduced as gain is reduced while maintaining distortion performance. For DOCSIS 3.0 applications, the MAX3518
draws 300mA at 33dB gain, dropping to 250mA at 31dB gain. The MAX3518 supply current drops to 5mA between bursts to minimize power
dissipation in transmit-disable mode. Control logic levels are 3.3V CMOS. The MAX3518 is available in a 20-pin thin QFN package, and operates over
the extended industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C).

A. Accelerated Life Test
The results of the biased (static) life test are shown in Table 1. Using these results, the Failure Rate ( ) is calculated as follows:
= ___1___
MTTF
=
_______1.83_______ (Chi square value for MTTF upper limit)
192 x 4340 x 48 x 2
(where 4340 = Temperature Acceleration factor assuming an activation energy of 0.8eV)
= 22.9 x 10
-9
= 22.9 F.I.T. (60% confidence level @ 25°C)
The following failure rate represents data collected from Maxim's reliability monitor program. Maxim performs quarterly life test
monitors on its processes. This data is published in the Reliability Report found at http://www.maxim-ic.com/qa/reliability/monitor.
Cumulative monitor data for the MB3 Process results in a FIT Rate of 0.08 @ 25C and 1.33 @ 55C (0.8 eV, 60% UCL)
B. E.S.D. and Latch-Up Testing (lot STIXAQ002A D/C 1105)
The WG61-2 die type has been found to have all pins able to withstand a HBM transient pulse of +/-2500V per
JEDEC JESD22-A114. Latch-Up testing has shown that this device withstands a current of +/-250mA and overvoltage per
JEDEC JESD78.
