SFFS084 December 2021 TLIN1024A-Q1
This section provides a Failure Mode Analysis (FMA) for the pins of the TLIN1024A-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.
| 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 device pin diagram. For a detailed description of the device pins, please refer to the Pin Configuration and Functions section in the TLIN1024A-Q1 data sheet.
Following are the assumptions of use and the device configuration assumed for the pin FMA in this section:
