4 Pin Failure Mode Analysis (Pin FMA)

This section provides a Failure Mode Analysis (FMA) for the pins of the TCAN1462-Q1 and TCAN1462V-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 V_CC (see Table 4-5)
Pin short-circuited to V_BAT (see Table 4-6)
Pin short-circuited to V_IO (Table 4-7)

Table 4-2 through Table 4-7 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

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 TCAN1462-Q1 and TCAN1462V-Q1 SOIC pin diagram. Figure 4-2 shows the TCAN1462-Q1 and TCAN1462V-Q1 VSON pin diagram. Figure 4-3 shows the TCAN1462-Q1 and TCAN1462V-Q1 pin diagram. For a detailed description of the device pins please refer to the Pin Configuration and Functions section in the TCAN1044A-Q1, TCAN1044AV-Q1 data sheet.

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

V_CC = 4.5 to 5.5 V
V_BAT = 6 to 24 V
V_IO = 1.7 to 5.5 V
