Table A-40. Summary of Failure Rate Models, Factors and Data Tables
Linear
Digital
Memories RAMS and CAMS; ROMS and PROMS Static and dynamic shift registers
Small and Medium Scale Integration (SS/MSI) Less than 100 gates or 400 transistors
Large Scale Integration (LSI) and Micro- processor Devices More than 100 gates or 400 transistors (See Note 1 below)
λp = KQ(C1)(KT+C2KE
λp = KQKP(C1)(KT+C2KE
Where:
λp= Total failure rate of the device in failures/106 operating hours.
KQ = The Quality factor, obtained from Table A-41 for all devices.
KE = The Environmental factor, obtained from Table A-42 for all devices.
KT = The Temperature Acceleration factor, obtained from Table A-43 for all devices.
C1 and C2 = The Circuit Complexity failure rates, based on the number of transistors for linear devices, the number of gates for digital devices and the number of bits for memories. They are obtained from:
• Table A-44 for linear devices.
• Table A-45 for digital SSI/MSI devices.
• Table A-46 for digital LSI and microprocessor devices.
• Table A-47 for memories.
KP = The Pin factor, obtained from Table A-45 through Table A-47 for devices as shown above.
* 
A J-K (grating) or R-S (set and re-set) flip-flop is equivalent to 8 gates when used as part of a complex circuit.
* 
For shift registers larger than dual 8-bit, the RAM model should be used. For smaller shift registers, the digital SSM/MSI model should be used.

1. KT1 is applicable to Bipolar digital devices, i.e., TTL and DTL, and to I2L. It does not apply to Bipolar Beam Lead and Bipolar ECL. (See Note 2.)
2. KT2 is applicable to Bipolar and MOS Linear, Bipolar Beam Lead, Bipolar ECL and all other MOS devices.
3. In the table above, Tj is the worst-case junction temperature in °C . If Tj is unknown, use the following approximations for all microcircuit types except low power TTL andMOS:
Tj = ambient T(°C) + 10°C if the number of gates < 30 or the number of linear circuit transistors < 120.
Tj = ambient T(°C) + 25°C if the number of gates > 30 or the number of linear circuit transistors > 120 and for all memories.
For low power TTL, MOS and I2L, use the following approximations if Tj is unknown:
Tj = ambient T(°C) + 5°C if the number of gates < 30 or the number of linear circuit transistors < 120.
Tj = ambientT(°C) + 13°C if the number of gates > 30 or the number of linear circuit transistors > 120 and for all memories.
