TMUX1237: Question about EOS(Electrical Overstress)

Chase Jeong

Part Number: TMUX1237

Dear TI experts,

My customer use TMUX1237DCKR for their product. THe product is in mass production.

And sometimes TMUX1237DCKR is broken by EOS(Electrical Overstress).

Customer did failure analysis, report said that short was observed on multiple pin #2,3,4.

QEM-CCR-2504-01365_TI Quality report_EIPD.PDF 

And to solve this problem I checked the schematic but I could not find nothing special.

Could you guide me about any solution that can prevent this kind of EOS?

Best regards,

Chase

    Hello Chase,

    EOS makes sense if they see a short between pins 2,3 and 4 which are VDD, S1, and D. 

    For an EOS event to occur the device has to be exposed to a higher voltage or current on the pins than rated.

    At what supply level are they operating at?
    What is the voltage level present on the I/Os?

    Thanks,

    Nir

    Dear Nir,

    Thank you for your support.

    Here are the answers from my customer.

    1. Can the customer replicate the EOS event?

    -> Unfortunately no. This failure occurs about 1 time per 3 month.

    This product is installed on bus, there are lots of external equipment. Customer just suspect that this failure is because of the car battery voltage noise or potential difference.

    2. At what supply level are they operating at?

    -> Customer use 5V.

    3. What is the voltage level present on the I/Os?

    -> IO is used for the output of analog video signal. it is 2V level.

    Could you check these information and guide me about adding protection ICs?

    Best regards,

    Chase
