SN65LVDS100: SN65LVDS100DGK - Need Storage Temperature

Part Number: SN65LVDS100

Hello, we have a customer who needs to know the storage temperature range for the SN65LVDS100DGK.

In the datasheet, the only range listed is -40C to 85C.

They would like to know if they can use this part on a product which will see -55C to 95C storage conditions.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Gabe Garza

  • Hello Gabriel,

    The -40C to 85C is the recommended operation temperature for this device. Texas Instruments recommendations for storage conditions are as shown below:

    "Finished product shall be stored in a controlled warehouse environment, maintained at <35 Degree Celsius and <85% relative humidity. If temperature goes beyond 33 Degree Celsius, or the Relative Humidity exceeds 80% then the warehouse management must alert their Facilities Group to investigate and ensure the temperature and relative humidity are brought back within the established limits. Exception to this requirement needs the approval of the respective Product Engineering Branch Manager and CQE Manager."

    Best regards,

    Hassan.

  • Hello Hassan, could you please advise how the rated extremes for storage (non-operating) that the part can be in after assembled. So, for example, at high altitude in an airborne product where the temperature may go below -40C.

    Thank you,

  • Hello Gabriel,

    Most TI parts undergo temperature cycle tests from -65C to 150C (and vice versa) but those are short time cycles - roughly 1 hour. I don't see any data taken to guarantee long time storage under those extreme temperature conditions. However, the storage guidelines I forwarded you earlier do not seem to show any issues for lower temperatures below 35C at relative humidity of <85%, so going below -40C should be OK. For temperatures higher than 85C and for long-term storage, there are no guarantees.

    Best regards,

    Hassan.
