I know that the wonderful products made by Ap will still be in use ad 2677 and thus, I must give him that aging can be a problem.
However, it is a fact that when operated well within the maximum ratings a semiconductor device will last, say, 1000 years or better. Thus, since it is unlikely that technology will suddenly come to a complete standstill, the likelyhood that anything made today will be constantly running and still in use 100 years from now, is ZERO Thus in black and white "aging is no conceren" Now we all know that a penny pincher may run a device at or beyond the maximum ratings, but that does in no way invalidate stating that "aging is not a problem" since it would be totally silly if we had to preafce all answers with "if you stay withing maximum ratings" Erik |
