Pin Failure Mode Analysis (Pin FMA)

This section provides a Failure Mode Analysis (FMA) for the pins of the TLV7032-Q1 and TLV7042-Q1. The failure modes covered in this document include the typical pin-by-pin failure scenarios:

  • Pin short-circuited to VEE (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 an adjacent pin (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.

Table 4-1 TI Classification of Failure Effects
ClassFailure Effects
APotential device damage that affects functionality
BNo device damage, but loss of functionality
CNo device damage, but performance degradation
DNo device damage, no impact to functionality or performance

Figure 4-1 shows the TLV7032-Q1 and TLV7042-Q1 pin diagram. For a detailed description of the device pins please refer to the Pin Configuration and Functions section in the TLV7032-Q1 and TLV7042-Q1 data sheet.

Following are the assumptions of use and the device configuration assumed for the pin FMA in this section

  • Each pin is assesed individually

  • All other pins are configured correctly for device functionality

  • DGK Package pinout used for Pin Name and No.
