SFFS957 August 2024 LMR51606-Q1 , LMR51610-Q1
This section provides a Failure Mode Analysis (FMA) for the pins of the LMR51606-Q1 and LMR51610-Q1. The failure modes covered in this document include the typical pin-by-pin failure scenarios:
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. |
Following are the assumptions of use and the device configuration assumed for the pin FMA in this section:
Figure 4-1 shows the LMR51606-Q1 and LMR51610-Q1 pin diagram for the SOT-23 package. For a detailed description of the device pins please refer to the Pin Configuration and Functions section in the appropriate device data sheet.
