4 Pin Failure Mode Analysis (Pin FMA)

This section provides a failure mode analysis (FMA) for the pins of the TPS785-Q1 (VSON and TO-252 packages). The failure modes covered in this document include the typical pin-by-pin failure scenarios:

• Pin short-circuited to ground (see Table 4-2 and Table 4-10)
• Pin open-circuited (see Table 4-3 and Table 4-11)
• Pin short-circuited to an adjacent pin (see Table 4-4 and Table 4-12)
• Pin short-circuited to supply (see Table 4-5 and Table 4-13)

Table 4-2 through Table 4-13 also indicate how these pin conditions can affect the device as per the failure effects classification in Table 4-1.
