Abstract

Bulk acoustic wave (BAW) resonator technology provides high reliability for BAW-based oscillators in mean time between failures (MTBF) and failure in time (FIT) values. Oscillators are typically integral to the system and often have to perform reliably over the lifetime of the product.

Product developers need to develop products that can run reliably over the product lifetime and having the best MTBF for BAW oscillators helps product developers easily select the oscillator component.

This application note provides calculation and results for MTBF and FIT values for BAW oscillators and provides the procedure for these calculations.
