Failure Mode Distribution (FMD)

The failure mode distribution estimation for LM5157-Q1 and LM51571-Q1 in Table 3-1 comes from the combination of common failure modes listed in standards such as IEC 61508 and ISO 26262, the ratio of sub-circuit function size and complexity and from best engineering judgment.

The failure modes listed in this section reflect random failure events and do not include failures due to misuse or overstress.

Table 3-1 Die Failure Modes and Distribution
Die Failure ModesFailure Mode Distribution (%)
SW no output40%
SW output not in specification – voltage or timing 50%
SW power low-side FET stuck on 5%
Power Good – False Trip or Failure to Trip 5%
