SBVA089A September 2020 – October 2023 TPS745-Q1
This section provides a Failure Mode Analysis (FMA) for the pins of the TPS745-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 |
Figure 4-1 shows the TPS745-Q1 pin diagram. For a detailed description of the device pins please refer to the Pin Configuration and Functions section in the TPS745-Q1 data sheet.
Pin Name | Pin No. | Description of Potential Failure Effect(s) | Failure Effect Class |
---|---|---|---|
OUT | 1 | Output voltage will be near or at ground - Device will enter current limit. Device may cycle in and out of thermal shutdown depending on power dissipation. | B |
