Overview
The scope of this document is to provide information to support integrating the MAX16134 into functional safety designs. This contains:
- Failure-In-Time (FIT) of the component calculated in accordance with the industry reliability standards
- Failure Mode Distribution of the device (FMD)

General Description
The MAX16134 is a low-voltage, ±1% accurate, triple-voltage μP supervisor that monitor up to 3 system-supply voltages for undervoltage (UV) and overvoltage (OV) faults. It detects undervoltage and overvoltage conditions, triggering a reset output when its corresponding input falls outside the factory-trimmed OV and UV window threshold from ±4% to ±11%, with ±1% resolution and 0.25% or 0.50% hysteresis. The reset outputs are active-low, open-drain.
The MAX16134 is available in a small 8-pin SOT23 package and specified over the temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.

Failure Mode Distribution (FMD)
The failure mode distribution includes all relevant failure modes of the product function as defined in the product description.
Table 3-1 shows the failure mode distribution estimation for MAX16134 as derived from the component die area ratio and complexity, and from engineering expertise.
Since some failures had no effect and do not contribute to any failure mode, the total percentage of the Failure Mode Distribution would not add up to 100%. A Correction factor (CF) was applied to the distribution to account for failures with no effect on the system.

Pin Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (Pin FMEA)
This section presents the Pin Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (Pin FMEA) for MAX16134. The failure modes discussed in this section encompass the common pin-by-pin failure scenarios:
- Pin short-circuited to supply (see Table 4-1)
- Pin short-circuited to GND (see Table 4-2)
- Pin open-circuited (see Table 4-3)
- Pin short-circuited to adjacent pins (see Table 4-4)
Figure 4-1 illustrates the pin diagram for MAX16134. Refer to the product datasheet for a detailed description of each pin’s function.
Below are the usage assumptions and device configuration considered for the Pin FMEA, based on the Typical Application Circuit, unless otherwise noted:
- The RESET1, RESET2, and RESET3 pins are active-low reset output available in open-drain configuration.
- The RESET1, RESET2, and RESET3 pins are connected to a 10kΩ pull-up resistor.
- The operating voltage range (VDD) is from 1.71V to 5.5V, and the operating temperature range (TA=TJ) is from -40°C to +125°C.
- Typical values are measured at VDD = 5V, and TA = +25°C.
