Entering IEC TR 62380/RDF 2000 Transistors
The following table describes the part parameters required for low power and/or power transistors when IEC TR 62380 or RDF 2000 is the selected calculation model.
Parameter
Type
Description
Package Type
Choice List
The type of package. The package type determines the failure rate equation to use. If the package type is unknown, you enter the base failure rate to use for Lambda B value.
Lambda B value
Real
The base failure rate to use if the package type is unknown.
Electrical Environment
Choice List
The general environment in which the device is used.
Construction
Choice List
The contact construction of the device. Choices are:
Bipolar
MOS, FET, IGBT
Material
Choice List
The material from which the device is constructed. Choices are:
Gallium Arsenide (GaAs)
Silicon

Breakdown Voltage
Real (Volts)
For the Low Power Transistors subcategory, required only when the type is DS (Drain-Source).
For the Power Transistors subcategory, required only when the type is CE (Collector-Emitter) or DS (Drain-Source).
The minimum specified breakdown voltage of the device.
GS Oper. Voltage
Real (Volts)
Required only when the type is GS (Gate-Source) for MOS or FET construction types.
The operating voltage for the device.
Rated Voltage
Real (Volts)
