4 Pin Failure Mode Analysis (Pin FMA)

This section provides a Failure Mode Analysis (FMA) for the pins of the UCCx8C4x (SOIC (8), PDIP (8), and VSSOP (8) 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)
• 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.

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

• IC is connected based on the typical application design schematic in UCCx8C4xdatasheet Figure 30
