FDC1004: Noise, RF, reliability

Part Number: FDC1004

Hello,

A couple of questions about the product:

1) How effective is the shielding capability of the FDC1004? Would it be impractical in an extremely noisy environment?

2) How would RF signals affect the FDC1004?

3) Has any vibration testing been done on the device?

4) Has any time before failure testing been done on the device?

Thank you.

  • Hi Patrick,

    1) The shielding capability is fairly effective in reducing the effects of parasitic capacitances. If the noise comes from environmental sources that affect the charge on the capacitors (like fluorescent lights), the shielding will not help.

    2) The device should not be affected by RF signals as long as the board is designed to be EMI resistant.

    3/4) The FDC1004-Q1 has passed all vibration and mean-time-to-failure tests required by the AEC-Q100 specifications. 

    Regards,
