4 Pin Failure Mode Analysis (Pin FMA)
This section provides a Failure Mode Analysis (FMA) for the pins of the DRV8703-Q1. 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)
These PIN FMA tables also indicate how these pin conditions can affect the device as per the failure effects classification in Table 4-1.
Table 4-1 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 4-1 shows the DRV8703-Q1 pin diagram. For a detailed description of the device pins please refer to the Pin Configuration and Functions section in the DRV8703-Q1 data sheet.
