5.3 Reliability Qualification

The USB Half Mini Cards have been stress-tested for High Temperature Operating Life as per the JEDEC standard JESD22-A108D. The following are the details of the tests.

Parameters Values/Details

Ambient Temperature 110oC

Junction Temperature 125oC

Supply Voltage 3.6V



Parameters Values/Details

Operational mode Regular Ping with no power save modes activated.

Stress Duration 1000 hours

Number of Cards Tested 3 lots of 80 Cards each

Intervals at which Cards were removed from Temperature chamber for testing

168, 360, 720 and 1000 hours

Duration of the Tests (duration for which Cards were kept outside the chamber)

12 to 13 hours

Testing performed at each interval 1) Receive Sensitivity in Channels 1 and 11 for 1 Mbps, 6 Mbps and 54 Mbps data rates

2) Transmit power level and EVM in Channels 1 and 11 for 1 Mbps, 6 Mbps and 54 Mbps data rates

3) Peak current consumption in Transmit and Receive modes

Number of failed Cards Zero

Table 7: HTOL Based Stress Testing

The stress testing as per the JEDEC JESD22-A108D standard enables us to predict the operating life of the Cards from the acceleration factor calculated using the Arrhenius equation as per JEDEC JEP122G. The Arrhenius equation is as follows:

AT = λT1/λT2= exp[(-Eaa/k)(1/T1 – 1/T2)]

where15

AT = Acceleration Factor

Eaa = Appaprent activation energy (eV). 0.75eV is a conservative industry standard

k = Boltzmann’s constant (8.62 x 10-5 eV/K)

T1 = Temperature at use, in Kelvin

T2 = Temperature at stress, in Kelvin

Using the data from the HTOL Based Stress Testing and assuming a junction temperature of 55oC for a use case scenario, we can safely assume an operating life of >9 years. The junction temperature for the Card’s ICs is usually 15 to 20oC more than the ambient temperature.

5.7 Regulatory Specifications

The RS9113 USB Half Mini Card includes the Dual Band RS9113DB module from Redpine Signals, which has undergone modular certification for FCC, IC ,CE/ETSI and TELEC. Note that any changes to the module’s configuration including (but not limited to) the programming values of the RF Transceiver and Baseband can cause the performance to change beyond the scope of the certification. These changes, if made, may result in the module having to be certified afresh.

The table below lists the details of the regulatory certifications. The certification for geographies not listed in the table is in progress.
