I recently asked IC(OPA376AQDBVRQ1) failure analysis(FA) to TI and received detailed FA.
The related TI QEM Event# is QEM-CCR-2303-01068.
The FA result is that pin 1,2,5 are shorted. Electrical overstress(EOS) is suspected based on EIPD on the die.
I contacted the field quality engineer(Michal Paugh:paugh_mike@ti.com) to ask follow-up questions, but he told me to ask the questions here.
Below shows the one picture in the FA, and have some questions.
- What is the damaged area? Is it pin 5or another pin? How can we relate this damage in the picture below to the short circuit in Pin 1, 2, and 5?
- Could you specify what current or voltage level damages the area(absolute max stress)?
Please let me know.
Sincerely,
Gibong
