Pin Failure Mode Analysis (Pin FMA)

This section provides a failure mode analysis (FMA) for the pins of the UCC27624-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 supply (see Table 4-5)

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, Figure 4-2, Figure 4-3, Figure 4-4, and Figure 4-5. For a detailed description of the device pins, see the Pin Configuration and Functions section in the UCC27624-Q1 datasheet.

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

  • Pin 1 shorted to pin 8, and pin 4 shorted to pin 5, are not considered.
  • The case of a short-circuit to supply is analyzed as a short to VDD.
