ADL5322's nemesis?

Hello!

I have a problem with frequent failures of ADL5322 in one of my designs.

I try to identify their cause and I would like to ask if anyone knows what

are the damage risks that ADL5322 is the most sensitive to.

I suspect either too high temperature or "spikes" induced in the power supply

(but perhaps I miss something else), so [now] I am mostly interested in:

1) What is the actual temperature in which ADL5322 will get damaged?

(datasheet says the "round" 85 Celsius deg.)

2) How high voltage destroys this chip?

(datasheet says the limit is 6V, but I have seen it work well

in a design where it got 6,5V every start)

If you have any experience with that, please, let me know.

best regards,

Adam

  • I have measured up to 80 degC.

    My measurement was made like this: I've covered ADL5322 with a thermally conductive pad

    and pressed against it a thermometer (DS1721+) on another piece of PCB,

    additionally fixed it with some adhesive tape. I closed the enclosure and I've been reading the

    temperature from thermometer for a little more than one hour.

    Taking into account thermal resistance "junction" to case (theta_JC in the datasheet,

    equal to 28,5 degC/W) I estimate that the die itself had no more than ~125 degC,

    so it seems I still have a 25 degC margin. This would suggest (even if my measurements

    were fairly inaccurate), that heat is not the problem, assuming that there is nothing

    else in the chip that could be damaged by not so much higher temperature...
