4 Pin Failure Mode Analysis (Pin FMA)
This section provides a failure mode analysis (FMA) for the pins of the AFE78201 and AFE88201. 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
| 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 AFE78201 and AFE88201 pin diagram. For a detailed description of the device pins, see the Pin Configuration and Functions section in the AFE78201 and AFE88201 data sheet.
Figure 4-1 Pin DiagramFollowing are the assumptions of use and the device configuration assumed for the pin FMA in this section:
- At least two SPI devices are present on the SPI bus.
- VDD and IOVDD use the same supply voltage.
- 'Short circuit to GND' means short to GND = REF_GND.
- 'Short circuit to Power' means short to PVDD = IOVDD = 3.3 V.
