1 Overview

This document contains information for TLV759P (DRV package) to aid in a functional safety system design. Information provided are:

  • Functional Safety Failure In Time (FIT) rates of the semiconductor component estimated by the application of industry reliability standards
  • Component failure modes and their distribution (FMD) based on the primary function of the device
  • Pin failure mode analysis (Pin FMA)

Figure 1-1 shows the device functional block diagram for reference.

TLV759P was developed using a quality-managed development process, but was not developed in accordance with the IEC 61508 or ISO 26262 standards.

2 Functional Safety Failure In Time (FIT) Rates

This section provides Functional Safety Failure In Time (FIT) rates for TLV759P based on two different industry-wide used reliability standards:

  • Table 2-1 provides FIT rates based on IEC TR 62380 / ISO 26262 part 11
  • Table 2-2 provides FIT rates based on the Siemens Norm SN 29500-2
Table 2-1 Component Failure Rates per IEC TR 62380 / ISO 26262 Part 11
FIT IEC TR 62380 / ISO 26262FIT (Failures Per 109 Hours)
Package DRV
Total Component FIT Rate5
Die FIT Rate3
Package FIT Rate2

The failure rate and mission profile information in Table 2-1 comes from the Reliability data handbook IEC TR 62380 / ISO 26262 part 11:

  • Mission Profile: Motor Control from Table 11
  • Power dissipation: 250 mW
  • Climate type: World-wide Table 8
  • Package factor (lambda 3): Table 17b
  • Substrate Material: FR4
  • EOS FIT rate assumed: 0 FIT
Table 2-2 Component Failure Rates per Siemens Norm SN 29500-2
TableCategoryReference FIT RateReference Virtual TJ
5CMOS, BICMOS
Digital, analog / mixed
25 FIT55°C

The Reference FIT Rate and Reference Virtual TJ (junction temperature) in Table 2-2 come from the Siemens Norm SN 29500-2 tables 1 through 5. Failure rates under operating conditions are calculated from the reference failure rate and virtual junction temperature using conversion information in SN 29500-2 section 4.

3 Failure Mode Distribution (FMD)

The failure mode distribution estimation for TLV759P in Table 3-1 comes from the combination of common failure modes listed in standards such as IEC 61508 and ISO 26262, the ratio of sub-circuit function size and complexity and from best engineering judgment.

The failure modes listed in this section reflect random failure events and do not include failures due to misuse or overstress.

Table 3-1 Die Failure Modes and Distribution
Die Failure Modes Failure Mode Distribution (%)
VOUT High (Following VIN) 20.83%
VOUT Not in Specification or Removed from Load 8.33%
VOUT Low (No Output) 33.33%
No Failures 29.17%
Output always enabled 4.17%
Possible FB pin damage 4.17%

4 Pin Failure Mode Analysis (Pin FMA)

This section provides a Failure Mode Analysis (FMA) for the pins of the TLV759P. The failure modes covered in this document include the typical pin-by-pin failure scenarios:

  • Pin short-circuited to Ground (see Table 4-3)
  • Pin open-circuited (see Table 4-4)
  • Pin short-circuited to an adjacent pin (seeTable 4-5)
  • Pin short-circuited to supply (see Table 4-6)

Table 4-3 through Table 4-6 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
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

Figure 4-1 shows the TLV759P pin diagram. For a detailed description of the device pins please refer to the Pin Configuration and Functions section in the TLV759P data sheet.
