Pin Failure Mode Analysis (Pin FMA)

This section provides a Failure Mode Analysis (FMA) for the pins of the TPS3760. 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

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

Figure 4-1 Pin Diagram DYY Package14-Pin SOT-23

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

  • RESET are pictured as active low, some configurations (RESET) will be active low. RESET in Figure 4-1 is shown as open-drain, some configurations will be push-pull. Refer to TPS3760 Pin Configuration and Functions section of the data sheet.
  • At VDD (MIN) ≤ VDD ≤ VDD (MAX), CTR = CTS = Open
  • Output reset Pullup Resistor (RPULLUP) = 10 kΩ, Output reset pullup voltage (VPULLUP = 5.5 V, output reset load (CLOAD) = 10 pF.
  • Tables valid over the operating free-air temperature range of – 40°C to 125°C, unless otherwise noted.
  • Typical values are at TA = 25°C, VDD = 16 V, and VIT = 6.5 V (VIT refers to VITN or VITP) unless stated otherwise.
