3 Pin Failure Mode Analysis (Pin FMA)

This section provides a Failure Mode Analysis (FMA) for the pins of the TPS6292xx-Q1. The failure modes covered in this document include the typical pin-by-pin failure scenarios:

Pin short-circuited to Ground (see Table 3-2)
Pin open-circuited (see Table 3-3)
Pin short-circuited to an adjacent pin (see Table 3-4)
Pin short-circuited to VIN (see Table 3-5)

Table 3-2 through Table 3-5 also indicate how these pin conditions can affect the device as per the failure effects classification in Table 3-1.

Table 3-1 TI Classification of Failure Effects

Class	Failure Effects
A	Potential device damage that affects functionality
B	No device damage, but loss of functionality
C	No device damage, but performance degradation
D	No device damage, no impact to functionality or performance

Figure 3-1 shows the TPS6292xx-Q1 pin diagram. For a detailed description of the device pins please refer to the 'Pin Configuration and Functions' section in the TPS6292xx-Q1 datasheet.
