Pin Failure Mode Analysis (Pin FMA)

This section provides a Failure Mode Analysis (FMA) for the pins of the TPS3808E-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.

Table 4-1 TI Classification of Failure Effects
ClassFailure Effects
APotential device damage that affects functionality
BNo device damage, but loss of functionality
CNo device damage, but performance degradation
DNo device damage, no impact to functionality or performance

Table 4-1 shows the TPS3808E-Q1 pin diagram. For a detailed description of the device pins please refer to TPS3760-Q1 in the Pin Configuration and Functions section of the data sheet.

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

  • At VDD (MIN) ≤ VDD ≤ VDD (MAX)
  • MR = Open, CT = Open,
  • Output reset Pullup Resistor (RPULLUP) = 10kΩ, Output reset pullup voltage (VPULLUP = 3.5V
  • Sense is monitoring VDD

  • Typical values are at TA = 25°C, VDD = 3.5V, CVDD=0.1µF, and VIT = 3.3V unless stated otherwise.
