4 Pin Failure Mode Analysis (Pin FMA)

This section provides a Failure Mode Analysis (FMA) for the pins of the TLV3601 . The failure modes covered in this document include the typical pin-by-pin failure scenarios (results are similarly applicable for TLV3602):

• Pin short-circuited to Ground (see Table 4-2.)
• Pin open-circuited (seeTable 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.

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

• Each pin is assessed individually
• All other pins are configured correctly for device functionality
