TMP117: Inquiry Regarding Component Failure Rate

Part Number: TMP117

Thank you for your continued support of your products.
My name is Ono, and I am responsible for the design of aircraft Electronic Control Units (ECUs) at Honda R&D.
We are currently conducting reliability evaluations for our ECU design and would like to request information regarding the failure rate data for your components. Specifically, we are interested in the following part:

TMP117NAIDRVR

Could you kindly provide details on the following points:
- Component failure rate (e.g., FIT values, MTBF)
- Conditions under which the failure rate was calculated (temperature, voltage, environmental factors) - Availability of data based on standards such as MIL-HDBK-217 or SN29500
- Any recommendations or considerations for use in aircraft applications

Our application involves
aircraft-mounted ECUs, which require high reliability. If possible, we would greatly appreciate receiving part-specific information and any reliability-related documentation not included in the standard datasheet. Thank you very much for your time and assistance. We look forward to your response. Best regards, Teruhiko Ono

  • Hello Ono-san,

    We currently don't have any published functional safety capable documentation for the TMP117N, but I can generate the FIT values for you, it will just take a few days. We generate our FIT rates based on SN29500, not any MIL standard. Making the SN29500 FIT values does not take into account stressful environmental conditions, just aspects of the die and package. 

    Does your company have an NDA with TI? What other specific reliability information are you interested in?

    Thanks
