What is the lifetime expectancy of NRF52832 IC ?

[SaiTeja]

Hello , I would like to know lifetime expectancy of NRF52832 IC. By lifetime expectancy I mean the amount of duration before NRF52832 goes non-functional.
Please help me in this regard.

Failure in time (FIT, 60% CL): 36.

Hello Kenneth, I am unable to understand your answer. Can you please elaborate

Snippet from https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/59774/what-are-fits-and-how-they-used-in-reliability-calculations 

"The term FIT (failure in time) is defined as a failure rate of 1 per billion hours. A component having a failure rate of 1 FIT is equivalent to having an MTBF of 1 billion hours."

So a value of 36 means a failure rate of 36 per billion hours.

I can also mention that the flash memory is specified to minimum 10years at 40degree Celcius, maybe that is the number you are looking for.

Does this mean that NRF52832 IC will work as it is intended for 10 years?
