4 Pin Failure Mode Analysis (Pin FMA)
This section provides a Failure Mode Analysis (FMA) for the pins of the TLV2197-Q1. The failure modes covered in this document include the typical pin-by-pin failure scenarios:
- Pin short-circuited to Ground (see Table 4-2)
- Pin open-circuited (see Table 4-3)
- Pin short-circuited to an adjacent pin (see Table 4-4)
- Pin short-circuited to supply (see Table 4-5)
Table 4-2 through Table 4-5 also indicate how these pin conditions can affect the device as per the failure effects classification in Table 4-1.
| Class | Failure Effects |
|---|---|
| A | Potential device damage that affects functionality |
| B | No device damage, but loss of functionality |
| C | No device damage, but performance degradation |
| D | No device damage, no impact to functionality or performance |
Figure 4-1 shows the TLV2197-Q1 pin diagram. For a detailed description of the device pins please refer to the Pin Configuration and Functions section in the TLV2197-Q1 data sheet.
Figure 4-1 Pin DiagramFollowing are the assumptions of use and the device configuration assumed for the pin FMA in this section:
- 'Short circuit to Power' means short to V+
- 'Short circuit to GND or Ground' means short to V-
- V+ is equivalent to VCC and V‒ equivalent to VEE

|---|---|---|---|
OUT A | 1 | No negative feedback or ability for OUT A to drive the application. | B |
-IN A | 2 | Inverting pin of the op amp is left floating. Negative feedback is not provided to the device, likely resulting in the device output moving between the positive and negative rails. The ‒IN A pin voltage likely ends up at the positive or negative rail because of leakage on the ESD diodes. | B |
+IN A | 3 | Device common‒mode is disconnected. The op amp is not provided with common‒mode bias, and the device output likely ends up at the positive or negative rail. The +IN A pin voltage likely ends up at the positive or negative rail because of leakage on the ESD diodes. | B |
V- | 4 | Negative supply is left floating. The op amp ceases to function because no current can source or sink to the device. | B |
+IN B | 5 | Device common‒mode is disconnected. The op amp is not provided with common‒mode bias, and the device output likely ends up at the positive or negative rail. The +IN B pin voltage likely ends up at the positive or negative rail because of leakage on the ESD diodes. | B |
