2.13.1Annualized Failure Rate (AFR)
The product will achieve an Annualized Failure Rate (AFR) of 0.55% when operated in an environment of ambient air temperatures of 25°C. Operation at temperatures outside the specifications in Section 2.10 may increase the product AFR. AFR is a population statistics that is not relevant to individual units.
AFR specifications are based on the following assumptions for consumer electronics environments:
•8760
•10,000 average motor start/stop cycles per year
•Operations at nominal voltages
•Temperatures outside the specifications in Section 2.10 may reduce the product reliability.
•Normal I/O duty cycle for consumer electronics environments. Operation at excessive I/O duty cycle may degrade product reliability.
