Table 4-6 Pin FMA for Device Pins Short-Circuited to Ground
Pin NamePin No.Description of Potential Failure Effect(s)Failure Effect Class
COMP 1 OUT remains low. Converter has no output. B
VIN 2 IC is not biased. OUT remains low. Converter has no output. B
VCC 3 IC is not biased. OUT remains low. Converter has no output. B
OUT 4 OUT remains low. Converter has no output. IC might get damaged. A
GND 5 No effect. D
CS 6 OUT operates with maximum duty cycle. Power stage might get damaged. Once power stage is damaged, the IC might get damaged. A
RT 7 OUT operates with maximum frequency. Converter might have no output. Over load protection might be triggered. OUT remains low after protection is triggered. OUT keeps retrying. B
SS 8 OUT remains low. Converter has no output. B

Pin NamePin No.Description of Potential Failure Effect(s)Failure Effect Class
COMP 1 Over load protection is triggered. OUT remains low. OUT keeps retrying. Converter has no output. B
VIN 2 IC is not biased. OUT remains low. Converter has no output. B
VCC 3 VCC linear regulator might become unstable. UVLO will be triggered and converter has no output. B
OUT 4 Converter has no gate driver voltage. Converter has no output. B
GND 5 IC behavior is unpredictable. IC damage is possible. A
CS 6 OUT operates with minimum on time. Converter has no power handling capability. Over load protection might be triggered. OUT remains low after protection is triggered. OUT keeps retrying. B
RT 7 Converter operates with minimum switching frequency. Converter has no output. Over load protection might be triggered. OUT remains low after protection is triggered. OUT keeps retrying. B
SS 8 Lost soft start function. C
