TPS7A84: TPS7A84 open/short test result

Part Number: TPS7A84

Hi, all.

Do you have any result of terminal open/short test for TPS7A84?

The terminal open/short test is for checking whether the device causes any serious problem (Catching fire or smoke)  or not when the device any pin is opened or short between any two adjacent pins. 

Best Regards,

Kobayashi

  • Hi Kobayashi,

    We are looking into this and will respond in a day or two.

  • Hi Kobayashi,

    Below please find the worst case conditions for floating or shorting a pin to an adjacent pin.

    Float

     

    50mV

    Pin Name Voltage not added to Vout

     

    100mV

    Pin Name Voltage not added to Vout

     

    200mV

    Pin Name Voltage not added to Vout

     

    400mV

    Pin Name Voltage not added to Vout

     

    800mV

    Pin Name Voltage not added to Vout

     

    1.6V

    Pin Name Voltage not added to Vout

     

    BIAS

    If Vin is less than 2.2V decreased performance or dropout, if Vin is greater than 2.2V no adverse effect

     

    EN

    The LDO may or may not be enabled.  This pin should be driven at all times.

     

    FB

    Dropout

     

    GND

    This is the reference for all internal voltages.  If floating, Vout will vary between GND and IN

     

    IN

    There will be no output voltage

     

    NR/SS

    No adverse effect

     

    OUT

    There will be no output voltage seen by the system

     

    PG

    There will be no PG signal seen by the system

     

    SNS

    If ANYOUT feature is used dropout, if ANYOUT feature is not used no adverse effect

     

     

    Short to adjacent pins

     

    50mV

    Pin Name Voltage added, subtracted or no adverse effect depending on state of pin shorted to

     

    100mV

    Pin Name Voltage added, subtracted or no adverse effect depending on state of pin shorted to

     

    200mV

    Pin Name Voltage added, subtracted or no adverse effect depending on state of pin shorted to

     

    400mV

    Pin Name Voltage added, subtracted or no adverse effect depending on state of pin shorted to

     

    800mV

    Pin Name Voltage added, subtracted or no adverse effect depending on state of pin shorted to

     

    1.6V

    Pin Name Voltage added, subtracted or no adverse effect depending on state of pin shorted to

     

    BIAS

    Damage LDO if BIAS is above Abs Max of shorted pin

     

    EN

    LDO enabled if shorted to Vin.  LDO disabled if shorted to NR/SS

     

    FB

    Dropout if shorted to PG, no adverse effect if shorted to SNS

     

    GND

    Current limit and thermal shutdown if shorted to OUT, ANYOUT pin name added to output voltage if shorted to 200mV or 400mV, no output if shorted to IN

    IN

    No output if shorted to GND, no adverse effect if shorted to EN

     

    NR/SS

    Damage LDO if BIAS is above Abs Max

     

    OUT

    Current limit and thermal shutdown if shorted to GND, no adverse effect if shorted to SNS

     

    PG

    Dropout

     

    SNS

    No adverse effect

  • Hello Ryan,

    Apologies for the delayed response.
    Do you have any data pin to GND short test result?

    Best Regards,
    Kobayashi
  • Hi Kobayashi,

    By "data pin" do you mean the ANYOUT pins (50mV, 100mV, etc)?  If these pins are shorted to GND, the pin name is added to the reference voltage (0.8V) as described in section 8.1.7 of the datasheet.

    Very Respectfully,

    Ryan

  • Hi Ryan,
    I'm sorry that my sentences are strange.
    I want to know FMEA of TPS7A84.
    Please tell me each Pin short-circuited to Ground.

    Best Regards,
    Kobayashi
  • HI Kobayashi-san,

    Ryan's answers were correct with respect to the Any-Out(TM) pins. If all of this pins are shorted to GND, VOUT is 3.95V. Whatever pins are shorted, add to the reference voltage of 0.8V. As for the other pins, Ryan has already disclosed what happens when they are shorted to GND.

    I think maybe we are not understanding your question clearly. If you needed, I can be available tomorrow afternoon (Japan Time) to discuss.

    Please let me know if this helps your understanding.

    Thank you,
