Definition of typical, minimum and maximum values

Minimum and maximum values for specified limiting and safety conditions have to be understood as such as well as values

shown in “typical” graphs. On the other hand, measured values are part of a statistical distribution that can be specified by an

interval with upper and lower limits and a probability for measured values to lie within this interval.

Unless otherwise stated (e.g. “100 % tested”), the LEM definition for such intervals designated with “min” and “max” is that

the probability for values of samples to lie in this interval is 99.73 %. For a normal (Gaussian) distribution, this corresponds

to an interval between -3 sigma and +3 sigma. If “typical” values are not obviously mean or average values, those values are

defined to delimit intervals with a probability of 68.27 %, corresponding to an interval between -sigma and +sigma for a normal

distribution.

Typical, maximal and minimal values are determined during the initial characterization of a product.
