Pin Failure Mode Analysis (Pin FMA)

This section provides a Failure Mode Analysis (FMA) for the pins of the DRV8706-Q1. The failure modes covered in this document include the typical pin-by-pin failure scenarios:

  • Pin short-circuited to Ground (see Table 4-2 for SPI variant, see Table 4-3 for HW variant)
  • Pin open-circuited (see Table 4-4 for SPI variant, see Table 4-5 for HW variant)
  • Pin short-circuited to an adjacent pin (see Table 4-6 for SPI variant, see Table 4-7 for HW variant)
  • Pin short-circuited to supply (PVDD) (see Table 4-8 for SPI variant, see Table 4-9 for HW variant)

Table 4-2 through Table 4-9 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

Figure 4-1 and Figure 4-2 show the DRV8706-Q1 pin diagrams. The DRV8706-Q1 has two pin diagram variants, an SPI variant (DRV8706S-Q1) and a HW variant (DRV8706H-Q1). For a detailed description of the device pins please refer to the Pin Configuration and Functions section in the DRV8706-Q1 data sheet.
