Re: "What does long term reliability do as a function of Tjc?" I must defer to the more process oriented experts on this thread for the specifics. Perhaps TWY could help out? EP

RE: Elmer, ?The Max Icc is 21A so that works out to ~36 Watts at 1.7V or a little over half the power used by Athlon. Athlon 1 GHz power sounds like a show-stopper to me. Maybe it'll bring their Kryotech friends back to life, just for the cooling part. What does long term reliability do as a function of Tjc? ---------------------------------------------- There are three reliability mechanisms I know of which can kill a part. One has exponential Tj & Vcc dependence, one has exponential Tj and linear Vcc dependence, and the third has little Tj dependence with exponential Vcc dependence. Don't read too much engineering precision into my use of the term "exponential". In some cases it's truly exponential, but in other cases it may just be much worse than linear. -Ted P.S.
