1 Overview

This document contains information for RS-485 transceivers THVD2450 and THVD2410 (SOIC, VSON, VSSOP packages) to aid in a functional safety system design. Information provided are:

Functional Safety Failure In Time (FIT) rates of the semiconductor component estimated by the application of industry reliability standards
Component failure modes and their distribution (FMD) based on the primary function of the device
Pin failure mode analysis (Pin FMA)

Figure 1-1 shows the device functional block diagram for reference.

THVD2450 and THVD2410 were developed using a quality-managed development process, but was not developed in accordance with the IEC 61508 or ISO 26262 standards.

2 Functional Safety Failure In Time (FIT) Rates

This section provides Functional Safety Failure In Time (FIT) rates for THVD2450 and THVD2410 based on two different industry-wide used reliability standards:

Table 2-1 provides FIT rates based on IEC TR 62380 / ISO 26262 part 11
Table 2-3 provides FIT rates based on the Siemens Norm SN 29500-2

Table 2-1 Component Failure Rates per IEC TR 62380 / ISO 26262 Part 11 for THVD2450

FIT IEC TR 62380 / ISO 26262	FIT (Failures Per 10⁹ Hours) 8-pin SOIC (D)	FIT (Failures Per 10⁹ Hours) 8-pin VSON (DRB)	FIT (Failures Per 10⁹ Hours) 8-pin VSSOP (DGK)
Total Component FIT Rate	11	18	7
Die FIT Rate	3	3	3
Package FIT Rate	8	15	4

Table 2-2 Component Failure Rates per IEC TR 62380 / ISO 26262 Part 11 for THVD2410

FIT IEC TR 62380 / ISO 26262	FIT (Failures Per 10⁹ Hours) 8-pin SOIC (D)	FIT (Failures Per 10⁹ Hours) 8-pin VSON (DRB)	FIT (Failures Per 10⁹ Hours) 8-pin VSSOP (DGK)
Total Component FIT Rate	10	18	7
Die FIT Rate	3	3	3
Package FIT Rate	7	15	4

The failure rate and mission profile information in Table 2-1 comes from the Reliability data handbook IEC TR 62380 / ISO 26262 part 11:

Mission Profile: Motor Control from Table 11
Power dissipation: 370 mW
Climate type: World-wide Table 8
Package factor (lambda 3): Table 17b
Substrate Material: FR4
EOS FIT rate assumed: 0 FIT

Table 2-3 Component Failure Rates per Siemens Norm SN 29500-2

Table	Category	Reference FIT Rate	Reference Virtual T_J
5	CMOS, BICMOS Digital, analog / mixed	25 FIT	55°C

The Reference FIT Rate and Reference Virtual T_J (junction temperature) in Table 2-3 come from the Siemens Norm SN 29500-2 tables 1 through 5. Failure rates under operating conditions are calculated from the reference failure rate and virtual junction temperature using conversion information in SN 29500-2 section 4.

3 Failure Mode Distribution (FMD)

The failure mode distribution estimation for THVD2450 and THVD2410 in Table 3-1 comes from the combination of common failure modes listed in standards such as IEC 61508 and ISO 26262, the ratio of sub-circuit function size and complexity and from best engineering judgment.

The failure modes listed in this section reflect random failure events and do not include failures due to misuse or overstress.

Table 3-1 Die Failure Modes and Distribution

Die Failure Modes	Failure Mode Distribution (%)
Receiver fail	7%
Transmitter fail	74%
I/O	11%
PCU	8%
