Pin Failure Mode Analysis (Pin FMA)

This section provides a Failure Mode Analysis (FMA) for the pins of the TPS61033-Q1 and TPS610333-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)
  • 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
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 shows the TPS61033-Q1 and TPS610333-Q1 pin diagrams. For a detailed description of the device pins please refer to the Pin Configuration and Functions section in the TPS61033-Q1 5.5-V 5.5-A 2.4-MHz Fully-Integrated Synchronous Boost Converter, with Output Discharge Function data sheets.

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

Table 4-2 Pin FMA for Device Pins Short-Circuited to Ground

VIN 1 No output voltage. B
EN 2 No output voltage. B
MODE 3 Device remains in auto PFM mode, loss of FPWM functionality. B
PG 4 Loss of power good indicator functionality. B
FB 5 If short before start-up, device remains in pre-charge mode, output voltage is not correct. C
If short after start-up and load current is low, OVP triggers. C
If short after start-up and load current is high, high-side FET is always turning on, output voltage is not correct. B
