1 Overview

This document contains information for the TPS7B4253-Q1 (DDA 8-pin SO PowerPAD? and PWP 20-pin HTSSOP (with exposed thermal pad) integrated circuit packages) to aid in a functional safety system design. Information provided are:

• Functional safety failure in time (FIT) rates of the semiconductor component estimated by the application of industry reliability standards
• Component failure modes and their distribution (FMD) based on the primary function of the device
• Pin failure modes and effects analysis (pin FMEA)

Figure 1-1 shows the device functional block diagram for reference.

The TPS7B4253-Q1 was developed using a quality-managed development process, but was not developed in accordance with the IEC 61508 or ISO 26262 standards.
