\subsection{A detailed look at failure symptoms of two components: the op-amp and the resistor}
In order to apply any form of Failure Mode Effects Analysis (FMEA) we need to know the ways in which the components we are using can fail.
How base components could fail internally, its not of interest to an FMEA investigation.
The FMEA investigator needs to know what failure behaviour a component may exhibit, or in other words, its
modes of failure.
A large body of literature exists which gives guidance for for determining component {\fms}.
For this study FMD-91~\cite{fmd91} and the gas burner standard EN298~\cite{en298}.
%Some standards prescribe specific failure modes for generic component types.
In EN298 failure modes for generic component types are prescribed, or
determined by a procedure where failure scenarios of all pins OPEN and all adjacent pins shorted
are examined.
%
FMD-91 is a reference document released into the public domain by the United States DOD
and describes {\fms} of common electronic components.
FMD-91 entries include descriptions of internal failures along with {\fms}.
FMD-91 entries need, in some cases, some interpretation to be mapped to a clear set of
component failure modes.
% One is from the US military document FMD-91, where internal failures
% of components are described (with stats).

We look in detail at two common electrical components in this section and examine how
two sources of information on failure modes view their failure mode behaviour.
We look at the reasons why some known failure modes are omitted, or presented in
specific but unintuitive ways.
%We compare the US. military published failure mode specifications wi
We then compare and contrast the failure modes determined for these components
from the FMD-91 reference source and from the guidelines of the
European burner standard EN298.

\subsection{op-amp}
The op-amp is a differential amplifier and is very widely used.
They are typically packaged in dual or quad configurations---meaning
that a chip will typically contain two or four amplifiers.
For the purpose of example, we look at
a typical op-amp designed for instrumentation and measurement, the dual packaged version of the LM358~\cite{lm358}.
