Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UC1844A-EP
Hello,
first I wrote to the support via email and they wrote me that I should ask here for the problem.
We have big problems with the UC3844AD8. The component fails after about 1 year.
We use the UC3844AD8 over 15 years. The main design has not changed. In the design who they fail is nothing change since 6 years.
Now we have from 150 pieces over 20 untill now defect in a short time.
UC3844A 51M are the most who are defect. That must be from end 2016 produce date.
Some UC3844AD8 work short when we make them hot. But after do this 2-3 times they are complete defect.
We think that the UC3844AD8 have a bonding problem.
Have other users the same problem?
After we get more and more from this defects we look to an other component. We find the UC1844AMD REP. This should tested and produced only on one place.
I hope we have in the future not this problem.
