Pin FMEA for NX5P/NX18P3001 switches
1. Introduction
The NX5P/NX18P3001 is an advanced bidirectional power switch and ESD-protection
device for combined USB-OTG and charger port applications. It includes under voltage
lockout, over voltage lockout and over temperature protection circuits designed to
automatically isolate the power switch terminals when a fault condition occurs.
The device features two power switch input/output terminals (VBUSI and VBUSO), an
open-drain acknowledge output (ACK), an enable input which includes logic level
translation (EN) and low capacitance transient voltage suppression (TVS) type ESD
clamps for USB data and ID pins.
When EN is set HIGH the device enters a low-power mode, disabling all protection
circuits. When used in combined charger and USB-OTG applications, the 30 V tolerant
VBUSI switch terminal is used as the supply and switch input when charging. For
USB-OTG the VBUSO switch terminal is used as the supply and switch input.
Designed for operation from 3.2 V to 6.35 V (17.5 V for NX18P3001), it is used in battery
charging and power domain isolation applications to reduce power dissipation and extend
battery life.
2. Pin FMEA
This chapter provides an FMEA (Failure Mode and Effect Analysis) for typical failure
situations, when the pins of bidirectional high-side power switch for charger and
USB-OTG combined applications family are short circuited to supply IO, GND or neighbor
pins or simply left open.
The individual failures are classified, according to their corresponding effects on a device
and the functionality; see Table 1.
Table 1.
