Part Number: SN74HC138
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SN74HC244, SN74HC245, SN74HC273

Hi,

Could you tell me the FMEA information of SN74HC series?
The specific parts number is as follows.
・SN74HC138
・SN74HC244
・SN74HC245
・SN74HC273

Competitor have prepared the following materials.
https://assets.nexperia.com/documents/application-note/AN11044.pdf

Customers want such materials or FMEA information.
If you can provide this information, it will be useful for replacement activities.

Best regards,
Yusuke

    TI makes FMEA analyses only for safety-critical devices.

    The following is an unofficial FMEA analysis for all HC/HCT devices.

    class A: possible damage to device; likely affects application functionality
    class B: no damage; possibly affects application functionality
    class C: no damage; does not affect application functionality

    short circuit to VCC:

    pinclassnotes
    input B behaves as if input set high
    output (high) C
    output (low) A damage due to high current
    output (hi-Z) C
    GND/thermal pad A damage due to high current

    short circuit to GND:

    pinclassnotes
    input B behaves as if input set low
    output (high) A damage due to high current
    output (low) C
    output (hi-Z) C
    VCC A damage due to high current
    thermal pad C

    short circuit of neighbor pins:

    pinclassnotes
    input/input C if same voltage
    input/input B if different voltages; see open input above
    output/output C if same voltage
    output/output A if different voltages; damage due to high current
    input/output C if same voltage
    input/output A if different voltages; damage due to high current (depending on the drive strength of the device driving the input)
    any/VCC or GND see the tables above

    pin left open:

    pinclassnotes
    input B input undefined, high cross currents; see [FAQ] How does a slow or floating input affect a CMOS device?
    input (Schmitt trigger) B input undefined
    output (high) C
    output (low) C
    output (hi-Z) C
    VCC B undefined operation: device might be partially powered through any input or output with high voltage applied
    GND/thermal pad B undefined operation: device might be partially powered through any input or output with low voltage applied

    This analysis applies also to devices from other manufacturers; where AN11044 is different, it is wrong.

    This analysis applies also to devices in other logic families. (But devices with overvoltage-tolerant inputs or outputs cannot be powered through those if VCC is left open. And auto-bidirectional voltage translators are entirely different.)
