Quality
Reliability
Meantime between failure (MTBF) is calculated to >4.9 million
hours at full output power and a pin temperature of +55°C
(TA = +40°C), using the Ericsson failure rate data system. The
Ericsson failure rate data system is based on field failure rates and is
continously updated. The data corresponds to actual failure rates of
components used in Information Technology and Telecom equipment
in temperature controlled environments (TA = –5… +65°C). The data
is considered to have a confidence level of 90%. For more information
see Design Note 002.
Quality Statement
The products are designed and manufactured in an industrial envi-
ronment where quality systems and methods like ISO 9000, 6s and
SPC, are intensively in use to boost the continuous improvements
strategy. Infant mortality or early failures in the products are screened
out by a burn-in procedure and an ATE-based final test.
Conservative design rules, design reviews and product qualifications,
plus the high competence of an engaged work force, contribute to the
high quality of our products.
