Pin Failure Mode Analysis (Pin FMA)

This section provides a failure mode analysis (FMA) for the pins of the TPS22995H-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.

Table 4-1 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 4-1 shows the TPS22995H-Q1 pin diagram. For a detailed description of the device pins please refer to the Pin Configuration and Functions section in the TPS22995H-Q1 data sheet.

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

  • The device pins are connected per the recommendation in the data sheet, including pullup and pulldown resistors, as needed.
Table 4-2 Pin FMA for Device Pins Short-Circuited to Ground
Pin NamePin No.Description of Potential Failure EffectsFailure Effect Class
VBIAS1No power supply to the device. The device does not pass through voltage to VOUT.B
VIN2The power supply is shorted.D
ON3The device is disabled.D
GND4This is the GND pin. Normal operation.D
VOUT5If the device is enabled, the device does not limit the power supply current and is damaged.A
RT6Grounding this pin quickens the output rise time more than expected if an RT resistor is connected or the pin is intended to be left open.C
Table 4-3 Pin FMA for Device Pins Open-Circuited
Pin Name Pin No. Description of Potential Failure Effects Failure Effect Class
VBIAS 1 No power supply to the device. The device does not pass through voltage to VOUT. B
VIN 2 No power supply to the device. The device does not pass through voltage to VOUT. D
ON 3 The ON pin can float high or low, the output state is unknown. D
GND 4 No GND connection to the device. Not functional. D
VOUT 5 The output does not deliver the voltage to the load. D
RT 6 Opening this pin slows down the output rise time more than expected if an RT resistor is attached or the pin is intended to be grounded. C
Table 4-4 Pin FMA for Device Pins Short-Circuited to Adjacent Pin
Pin Name Pin No. Shorted to Description of Potential Failure Effects Failure Effect Class
VBIAS 1 VIN A stronger supply powers the IN and BIAS pins. Device operation can be affected, no device damage. D
VIN 2 ON The device is enabled if the VIN power supply is above the ON threshold (VIH). D
GND 4 VOUT If the device is enabled, the device does not limit the power supply current and is damaged. A
VOUT 5 RT Shorting this pin quickens the output rise time more than expected if an RT resistor is attached. C
Table 4-5 Pin FMA for Device Pins Short-Circuited to Supply
Pin Name Pin No. Description of Potential Failure Effects Failure Effect Class
VBIAS 1 Normal operation is expected. D
VIN 2 Normal operation is expected. D
ON 3 The device is enabled if the power supply is above the ON threshold (VIH). D
GND 4 The power supply is shorted. D
VOUT 5 The power MOSFET is shorted. Disabling the device no longer blocks power to VOUT. B
RT 6 The output rise time slows down. C
