Pin Failure Mode Analysis (Pin FMA)

This section provides a Failure Mode Analysis (FMA) for the pins of the TPS62090-Q1. The failure modes covered in this document include the typical pin-by-pin failure scenarios:

  • Pin short-circuited to Ground (see Table 2-2)
  • Pin open-circuited (see Table 2-3)
  • Pin short-circuited to an adjacent pin (see Table 2-4)
  • Pin short-circuited to supply (see Table 2-5)

Table 2-2 through Table 2-5 also indicate how these pin conditions can affect the device as per the failure effects classification in Table 2-1.

Table 2-1 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 2-1 shows the TPS62090-Q1 pin diagram. For a detailed description of the device pins please refer to the Pin Configuration and Functions section in the TPS62090-Q1 data sheet.
