A new device can be qualified either by performing full scale quality and reliability tests on the actual device or using previously qualified devices through Qualification by Similarity (QBS) rules. By establishing similarity between the new device and those qualified previously, repetitive tests are eliminated, allowing for timely production release. When adopting QBS methodology, the emphasis is on qualifying the differences between a previously qualified product and the new product under consideration.
The QBS rules for a technology, product, test parameters or package define which attributes are required to remain fixed for the QBS rules to apply. The attributes which are expected and allowed to vary are reviewed and a QBS plan is developed, based on the reliability impact assessment above, specifying what subset of the full complement of environmental stresses is required to evaluate the reliability impact of those variations. Each new device is reviewed for conformance to the QBS rule sets applicable to that device. See JEDEC JESD47 for more information.
| Note that qualification by similarity (qualification family) per JEDEC JESD47 is allowed. | ||||

Mean Time Between Fails (MTBF) and Failures in Time (FIT) rates are device reliability statistics calculated based on data collected from TI’s internal reliability testing (life test). TI’s DPPM/FIT/MTBF Estimator Search Tool reports the generic data based on technology groupings and shows conditions under which the rates were derived. All terms used in the tool and definitions can be found on the TI reliability terminology page. Failure rates are summarized by technology and mapped to the associated material part numbers. The failure rates are highly dependent on the number of units tested, therefore, it is not recommended to compare failure rates. |

| Device Family Qualification Data |
TI’s Qualification Summary Search Tool reports generic qualification data representative of the material sets, processes, and manufacturing sites used by the device family and may not include all of the testing performed for a specific EP device. Please see the Enhanced Products New Device Qualification Matrix above for the full suite of qualification testing performed to release Enhanced Product devices. |

| Ongoing Reliability Monitoring |
TI periodically monitors the reliability of its products, wafer fab processes, and package technologies, through its Ongoing Reliability Monitor (ORM) program. The ORM program involves collecting environmental reliability stress data on representative sets of devices, processes and packages. The results from the ORM program are updated quarterly in this report. |
