ISO1050: Inquiry regarding the cause of ISO1050 defects

Part Number: ISO1050

Hi, TI expert

The customer has been experiencing ongoing defects occurrences with the ISO1050.

They are inquiring about the reasons behind these defects occurrence.

[Failure phenomenon]

- Output failure occurs due to a defect in ISO1050, which receives 5Vdc power and supplies 3.3Vdc output.

- VCC1 (1Pin) - GND1 (4Pin) resistance measurement result (measured as a single item after separation from the board)

1) Defective part: Measured at 12 ohms.

2) Normal part: Measured at approximately 600 ohms.

Customer submitted several applications through TI_Customer Returns, but progress through parts analysis was rejected, and only a brief response was received as follows.

→ "Based on customer failure mode “Pin1 (VCC1) low resistance (12Ohm) to Pin4 (GND1) is signature of EIPD/EOS."

Based on the above, the customer has an inquiry as follows.

1. ISO1050DUBR defective factor inspection request
-. Is it possible to determine the cause of a defect?

2. Request for ISO1050DUBR VCC1 single limit test data
-. The VCC1 MAX voltage is 6V. Could you provide data on the phenomenon and type of defects that occur when the voltage exceeds a certain amount of V?

3. Are there any problems with the circuit?

  • Hello Grady, 

    Thank you for reaching out.

    1. The failure condition of the return device was shown as a VCC to GND short. A short from power to ground is normally caused by some Electrical Overstress (EOS) and more information cannot be determined from further failure analysis.
      1. Damage to the die is usually too sever to determine any details for most EOS / EPID cases (electrically induced physical damage).
    2. The most common failure caused by an excess of 6V on the VCC1 pin is a short from VCC to GND. 
    3. The schematic looks good. Please make sure that the 3.3V rail is powered from an isolated supply. (isolated power not included in the schematic snippet).

    Best,
    Andrew
