4 Pin Failure Mode Analysis (Pin FMA)
This section provides a failure mode analysis (FMA) for the pins of the TPSI2260-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 short-circuited to VDD (see Table 4-3)
- Pin open-circuited (see Table 4-4)
- Pin short-circuited to adjacent pin (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.
Note: When a pin short-to-ground case is discussed, only the primary side ground shorts are considered.
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. |
Below is the TPSI2260-Q1 pin diagram package. For a detailed description of the device pins, see the Pin Configuration and Functions section in the TPSI2260-Q1 data sheet.
