SFFS183A March 2022 – August 2025 LMR43610 , LMR43610-Q1 , LMR43620 , LMR43620-Q1
The failure mode distribution estimation for LMR436x0 and LMR436x0-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 resulting from misuse or overstress.
| Die Failure Modes | Failure Mode Distribution (%) |
|---|---|
| No output voltage | 60 |
| Output not in specification – voltage or timing | 30 |
| PG false trip or fails to trip | 5 |
| Short circuit any two pins | 5 |
The FMD in the Die Failure Modes and Distribution table excludes short-circuit faults across the isolation barrier. Faults for short circuits across the isolation barrier can be excluded according to IEC 61800-5-2:2016 if the following requirements are fulfilled:
Creepage and clearance requirements should be applied according to the specific equipment isolation standards of an application. Care should be taken to maintain the creepage and clearance distance of a board design to ensure that the mounting pads of the isolator on the printed-circuit board do not reduce this distance.
