Hi team,

My customer want to calculate IC's lifetime after customer shipped their products to their end customer.

I know we can get MTBF and FIT data on TI.com. But how to use them to approximately get lifetime data.

Hi Gary,

Instead of MTBF and FIT I would probably reference this curve in our datasheets which gives an expectation of the isolation barrier expected lifetime vs. applied voltage.

MTBF and FIT is more so for random defects that wouldn't affect all devices in the field whereas the above would.
