Pin Failure Mode Analysis (Pin FMA)

This section provides a Failure Mode Analysis (FMA) for the pins of the TLVM365R15 and TLVM365R1. 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 TLVM365R15 pin diagram. For a detailed description of the device pins please refer to the Pin Configuration and Functions section in the TLVM365R15 data sheet.

1. Pin 1 trimmed and factory-set for externally adjustable switching frequency RT variants only.
2. Pin 9 trimmed and factory-set for fixed output voltage or adjustable output voltage. See the data sheet for more details.

PGOOD

If PGOOD is high and < 5.5 V, then Fsw = 1 MHz. If PGOOD is low, then Fsw = 2.2 MHz for RT. PGOOD absmax being 20 V, RT ESD damages if PG goes to 20 V.
