LM5164: Failure Mode Distribution

Part Number: LM5164

Hello,

We are designing with the LM5164 and had a question about Table 3-1 in the datasheet.

Could you please let us know how you determine the "Failure Mode Distribution (%)" for the various Die Failure Modes.

  • Is there more documentation on how to interpret this data?
  • Does this mean these failures were detected on some wafer tests?
  • Were these these numbers measured?

Thanks so much, Keith

  • Hi Keith,

    The IC designer performs the analysis based on their best engineering judgement for the area of the given sub-circuit and their corresponding failure modes. To answer your questions, these are not experimentally measured.

    Best regards,
