This inverting amplifier is analysed again, but this time with a different composition of {\fgs}. The two approaches, i.e. choice of membership for {\fgs}, are then discussed. \item Section~\ref{sec:diffamp} analyses a circuit where two op-amps are used to create a differencing amplifier. Building on the two approaches from section~\ref{sec:invamp}, re-use of the non-inverting amplifier {\dc} from section~\ref{sec:invamp} is discussed in the context of this circuit, where its re-use is appropriate in the first stage and not in the second. \item Section~\ref{sec:fivepolelp} analyses a Sallen-Key based five pole low pass filter. This demonstrates re-use the first Sallen-Key analysis, %encountered as a {\dc} increasing test efficiency. This example also serves to show a deep hierarchy of {\dcs}. \item Section~\ref{sec:bubba} shows FMMD applied to a loop topology---using a `Bubba' oscillator---demonstrating how FMMD id different to fault diagnosis techniques. %which uses %four op-amp stages with supporting components. Two analysis strategies are employed, one using initially identified {\fgs} and the second using a more complex hierarchy of {\fgs} and {\dcs}, showing that a finer grained/more de-composed approach offers more re-use possibilities in future analysis tasks. \item Section~\ref{sec:sigmadelta} demonstrates FMMD can be applied to mixed anal;ogue and digital circuitry using a sigma delta ADC. %shows FMMD analysing the sigma delta %analogue to digital converter---again with a circular signal path---which operates on both %analogue and digital signals. \end{itemize} %~\ref{sec:chap4} %can be re-used. %, but with provisos. % %The first %(see section~\ref{sec:diffamp}) % % % % % Moving Pt100 to metrics % %Sections~\ref{sec:Pt100}~and~\ref{sec:Pt100d} demonstrate both statistical %failure mode classification % analysis for top level events traced back to {\bc} failure modes %and the analysis of double simultaneous failure modes. % % Now in CHAPTER 6: Finally section~\ref{sec:elecsw} demonstrates FMMD analysis of a combined electronic and software system. % \section{Basic Concepts Of FMMD} % % The %idea % driving concept behind FMMD is to modularise, from the bottom-up, failure mode effects analysis. % Traditional FMEA takes part failure modes and then determines what effect each of these % failure modes could have on the system under investigation. % % Traditional FMEA, by looking at {\bc}--- or `part'---level failure modes, % involves what we could term a large `reasoning~distance'; that is to say % in a complex system, taking a particular failure mode, of a particular {\bc} % and then trying to predict the outcome in the context of an entire system, is % a leap~of~faith. % % % There will be numerous possibilities of effects and side effects on % other components in the system; more than is practically possible to rigorously examine. % To simply trace a simple route from a particular {\bc} failure mode to a top level system error/symptom % oversimplifies the task of failure mode analysis, and makes the process arbitrary and error prone. % % Fortunately most real-world designs take a modular approach. In Electronics % for instance, commonly used configurations of parts are used to create % amplifiers, filters, potential dividers etc. % %It is therefore natural to collect parts to form functional groups. % It is common design practise in electronics, to use collections of parts in specific configurations % to form well-defined and well-known building blocks. % These commonly used configurations of parts, or {\fgs}, will % also have a specific failure mode behaviour. % We can take a {\fg}, analyse it using FMEA and determine its {\em symptoms} of failure. % % When we have done this we can treat this {\fg} as a component in its own right. % % % If we term {\bcs} as the components we start analysis with and components we have determined % from functional groups as derived components, we can modularise the FMEA process. % % % If we start building {\fgs} from derived components we can start to build a modular % hierarchical failure mode model. Modularising FMEA should give benefits of reducing reasoning distance, % allowing re-use of modules and reducing the number of by-hand analysis checks to consider. % % As all forms of FMEA are bottom-up processes---we start with {\bcs}---the lowest or most basic components/parts. % %and with their failure modes. % % It is worth defining clearly the term part here. % % Geoffry Hall writing in Space Craft Systems Engineering~\cite{scse}[p.619], defines it thus: % % ``{Part(definition)}---The Lowest level of assembly, beyond which further disassembly irrevocably destroys the item''. % % In the field of electronics a resistor, capacitor and op-amp would fit this definition of a `part'. % % Failure modes for part types can be found in the literature~\cite{fmd91}\cite{mil1991}. % % % % % % % % \paragraph {Definitions: for practical FMMD analysis} % % % % \begin{itemize} % % \item {\bc} - is taken to mean a `part' as defined above~\cite{scse}[p.619]. We should be able to define a set of failure modes for every {\bc}. % % \item {\fm} - failure mode - the ways in which a component can fail % % \item {\fg} - a collection of components chosen to perform a particular task % % \item {\em symptom} - a failure mode of a functional group caused by one or more of its component failure modes. % % \item {\dc} - a new component derived from an analysed {\fg} % % \end{itemize} % %%%% XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX % % This section might fit in with the literature review....

These techniques % % % % The FMD-91 entries need, in some cases, some interpretation to be mapped to % % component failure symptoms, but include failure modes that can be due to internal failures. % % The EN298 SHORT/OPEN procedure cannot determine failures due to internal causes but can be applied to any IC. % % % % Could I come in and see you Chris to quickly discuss these. % % % % I hope to have chapter 5 finished by the end of March, chapter 5 being the % % electronics examples for the FMMD methodology. % % In this section we look in detail at two common electrical components and examine how % the two sources of information define 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 % can be found in one source but not in the others and vice versa. % % % Finally we 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{Failure mode determination for generic resistor.} % \label{sec:resistorfm} % %- Failure modes. Prescribed failure modes EN298 - FMD91 % \paragraph{Resistor failure modes according to FMD-91.} % % % The resistor is a ubiquitous component in electronics, and is therefore a good candidate for detailed examination of its failure modes. % % % FMD-91\cite{fmd91}[3-178] lists many types of resistor % and lists many possible failure causes. % For instance for {\textbf{Resistor,~Fixed,~Film}} we are given the following failure causes: % \begin{itemize} % \item Opened 52\% % \item Drift 31.8\% % \item Film Imperfections 5.1\% % \item Substrate defects 5.1\% % \item Shorted 3.9\% % \item Lead damage 1.9\% % \end{itemize} % % This information may be of interest to the manufacturer of resistors, but it does not directly % % help a circuit designer. % % The circuit designer is not interested in the causes of resistor failure, but to build in contingency % % against {\fms} that the resistor could exhibit. % % We can determine these {\fms} by converting the internal failure descriptions % % to {\fms} thus: % To make this useful for FMEA/FMMD we must assign each failure cause to an arbitrary failure mode descriptor % as shown below. % % % %and map these failure causes to three symptoms, % %drift (resistance value changing), open and short. % % \begin{itemize} % \item Opened 52\% $\mapsto$ OPENED % \item Drift 31.8\% $\mapsto$ DRIFT % \item Film Imperfections 5.1\% $\mapsto$ OPEN % \item Substrate defects 5.1\% $\mapsto$ OPEN % \item Shorted 3.9\% $\mapsto$ SHORT % \item Lead damage 1.9\% $\mapsto$ OPEN. % \end{itemize} % % % The main causes of drift are overloading of components. % This is borne out in in the FMD-91~\cite{fmd91}[232] entry for a resistor network where the failure % modes do not include drift. % % % If we can ensure that our resistors will not be exposed to overload conditions, the % probability of drift (sometimes called parameter change) occurring % is significantly reduced, enough for some standards to exclude it~\cite{en298}~\cite{en230}. % % \paragraph{Resistor failure modes according to EN298.} % % EN298, the European gas burner safety standard, tends to be give failure modes more directly usable by FMEA than FMD-91. % EN298 requires that a full FMEA be undertaken, examining all failure modes % of all electronic components~\cite{en298}[11.2 5] as part of the certification process. % % % Annex A of EN298, prescribes failure modes for common components % and guidance on determining sets of failure modes for complex components (i.e. integrated circuits). % EN298~\cite{en298}[Annex A] (for most types of resistor) % only requires that the failure mode OPEN be considered for FMEA analysis. % % % For resistor types not specifically listed in EN298, the failure modes % are considered to be either OPEN or SHORT. % The reason that parameter change is not considered for resistors chosen for an EN298 compliant system, is that they must be must be {\em downrated}. % That is to say the power and voltage ratings of components must be calculated % for maximum possible exposure, with a 40\% margin of error. This reduces the probability % that the resistors will be overloaded, % and thus subject to drift/parameter change. % % % XXXXXX get ref from colin T % % %If a resistor was rated for instance for % % %These are useful for resistor manufacturersthey have three failure modes % %EN298 % %Parameter change not considered for EN298 because the resistors are down-rated from % %maximum possible voltage exposure -- find refs. % % % % FMD-91 gives the following percentages for failure rates in % % \label{downrate} % % The parameter change, is usually a failure mode associated with over stressing the component. % %In a system designed to typical safety critical constraints (as in EN298) % %these environmentally induced failure modes need not be considered. % % \subsubsection{Resistor Failure Modes} % \label{sec:res_fms} % For this study we will take the conservative view from EN298, and consider the failure % modes for a generic resistor to be both OPEN and SHORT. % i.e. % \label{ros} % $$ fm(R) = \{ OPEN, SHORT \} . $$ % % \subsection{Failure modes determination for generic operational amplifier} % % \begin{figure}[h+] % \centering % \includegraphics[width=200pt]{CH5_Examples/lm258pinout.jpg} % % lm258pinout.jpg: 478x348 pixel, 96dpi, 12.65x9.21 cm, bb=0 0 359 261 % \caption{Pinout for an LM358 dual OpAmp} % \label{fig:lm258} % \end{figure} % % The operational amplifier (op-amp) %is a differential amplifier and % is very widely used in nearly all fields of modern analogue electronics. % 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} % (see figure~\ref{fig:lm258}), and use this to compare the failure mode derivations from FMD-91 and EN298. % % \paragraph{ Failure Modes of an OpAmp according to FMD-91 } % % %Literature suggests, latch up, latch down and oscillation. % For OpAmp failures modes, FMD-91\cite{fmd91}{3-116] states, % \begin{itemize} % \item Degraded Output 50\% Low Slew rate - poor die attach % \item No Operation - overstress 31.3\% % \item Shorted $V_+$ to $V_-$, overstress, resistive short in amplifier 12.5\% % \item Opened $V_+$ open 6.3\% % \end{itemize} % % Again these are mostly internal causes of failure, more of interest to the component manufacturer % than a designer looking for the symptoms of failure. % We need to translate these failure causes within the OpAmp into {\fms}. % We can look at each failure cause in turn, and map it to potential {\fms} suitable for use in FMEA % investigations. % % \paragraph{OpAmp failure cause: Poor Die attach} % The symptom for this is given as a low slew rate. This means that the op-amp % will not react quickly to changes on its input terminals. % This is a failure symptom that may not be of concern in a slow responding system like an % instrumentation amplifier. However, where higher frequencies are being processed, % a signal may entirely be lost. % We can map this failure cause to a {\fm}, and we can call it $LOW_{slew}$. % % \paragraph{No Operation - over stress} % Here the OP\_AMP has been damaged, and the output may be held HIGH or LOW, or may be effectively tri-stated % , i.e. not able to drive circuitry in along the next stages of the signal path: we can call this state NOOP (no Operation). % % % We can map this failure cause to three {\fms}, $LOW$, $HIGH$, $NOOP$. % % \paragraph{Shorted $V_+$ to $V_-$} % Due to the high intrinsic gain of an op-amp, and the effect of offset currents, % this will force the output HIGH or LOW. % We map this failure cause to $HIGH$ or $LOW$. % % \paragraph{Open $V_+$} % This failure cause will mean that the minus input will have the very high gain % of the OpAmp applied to it, and the output will be forced HIGH or LOW. % We map this failure cause to $HIGH$ or $LOW$. % % \paragraph{Collecting OpAmp failure modes from FMD-91} % We can define an OpAmp, under FMD-91 definitions to have the following {\fms}. % \begin{equation} % \label{eqn:opampfms} % fm(OpAmp) = \{ HIGH, LOW, NOOP, LOW_{slew} \} % \end{equation} % % % \paragraph{Failure Modes of an OpAmp according to EN298} % % EN298 does not specifically define OP\_AMPS failure modes; these can be determined % by following a procedure for `integrated~circuits' outlined in % annex~A~\cite{en298}[A.1 note e]. % This demands that all open connections, and shorts between adjacent pins be considered as failure scenarios. % We examine these failure scenarios on the dual packaged $LM358$~\cite{lm358}%\mu741$ % and determine its {\fms} in table ~\ref{tbl:lm358}. % Collecting the op-amp failure modes from table ~\ref{tbl:lm358} we obtain the same {\fms} % that we got from FMD-91, listed in equation~\ref{eqn:opampfms}. % % % % %\paragraph{EN298: Open and shorted pin failure symptom determination technique} % % % % % % \begin{table}[h+] % \caption{LM358: EN298 Open and shorted pin failure symptom determination technique} % \begin{tabular}{|| l | l | c | c | l ||} \hline % %\textbf{Failure Scenario} & & \textbf{Amplifier Effect} & & \textbf{Symptom(s)} \\ % \textbf{Failure} & & \textbf{Amplifier Effect} & & \textbf{Derived Component} \\ % \textbf{cause} & & \textbf{ } & & \textbf{Failure Mode} \\ % % \hline % % & & & & \\ \hline % % FS1: PIN 1 OPEN & & A output open & & $NOOP_A$ \\ \hline % % FS2: PIN 2 OPEN & & A-input disconnected, & & \\ % & & infinite gain on A+input & & $LOW_A$ or $HIGH_A$ \\ \hline % % FS3: PIN 3 OPEN & & A+input disconnected, & & \\ % & & infinite gain on A-input & & $LOW_A$ or $HIGH_A$ \\ \hline % % FS4: PIN 4 OPEN & & power to chip (ground) disconnected & & $NOOP_A$ and $NOOP_B$ \\ \hline % % % FS5: PIN 5 OPEN & & B+input disconnected, & & \\ % & & infinite gain on B-input & & $LOW_B$ or $HIGH_B$ \\ \hline % % FS6: PIN 6 OPEN & & B-input disconnected, & & \\ % FS6: PIN 6 OPEN & & infinite gain on B+input & & $LOW_B$ or $HIGH_B$ \\ \hline % % % FS7: PIN 7 OPEN & & B output open & & $NOOP_B$ \\ \hline % % FS8: PIN 8 OPEN & & power to chip & & \\ % FS8: PIN 8 OPEN & & (Vcc) disconnected & & $NOOP_A$ and $NOOP_B$ \\ \hline % & & & & \\ % & & & & \\ % % & & & & \\ \hline % % FS9: PIN 1 $\stackrel{short}{\longrightarrow}$ PIN 2 & & A -ve 100\% Feed back, low gain & & $LOW_A$ \\ \hline % % FS10: PIN 2 $\stackrel{short}{\longrightarrow}$ PIN 3 & & A inputs shorted, & & \\ % & & output controlled by internal offset & & $LOW_A$ or $HIGH_A$ \\ \hline % % FS11: PIN 3 $\stackrel{short}{\longrightarrow}$ PIN 4 & & A + input held to ground & & $LOW_A$ \\ \hline % % FS12: PIN 5 $\stackrel{short}{\longrightarrow}$ PIN 6 & & B inputs shorted, & & \\ % & & output controlled by internal offset & & $LOW_B$ or $HIGH_B$ \\ \hline % % FS13: PIN 6 $\stackrel{short}{\longrightarrow}$ PIN 7 & & B -ve 100\% Feed back, low gain & & $LOW_B$ \\ \hline % % FS14: PIN 7 $\stackrel{short}{\longrightarrow}$ PIN 8 & & B output held high & & $HIGH_B$ \\ \hline % % % \hline % \end{tabular} % \label{tbl:lm358} % \end{table} % % % %\clearpage % % \subsubsection{Failure modes of an OpAmp} % % \label{sec:opamp_fms} % For the purpose of the examples to follow, the op-amp will % have the following failure modes:- % % $$ fm(OPAMP) = \{ LOW, HIGH, NOOP, LOW_{slew} \} $$ % % % \subsection{Comparing the component failure mode sources} % % % The EN298 pinouts failure mode technique cannot reveal failure modes due to internal failures. % The FMD-91 entries for op-amps are not directly usable as % component {\fms} in FMEA or FMMD and require interpretation. % % %For our OpAmp example could have come up with different symptoms for both sides.

The initial {\fgs} are collections of base components. % % %These parts all have associated fault modes. A module is a set fault~modes. % % From the point of view of failure analysis, % % we are not interested in the components themselves, but in the ways in which they can fail. % % % % A {\fg} is a collection of components that perform some simple task or function. % % % % % In order to determine how a {\fg} can fail, % % we need to consider all the failure modes of all its components. % % % % % By analysing the fault behaviour of a `{\fg}' with respect to all its components failure modes, % % we can determine its symptoms of failure. % % %In fact we can call these % % %the symptoms of failure for the {\fg}. % % % % With these symptoms (a set of derived faults from the perspective of the {\fg}) % % we can now state that the {\fg} (as an entity in its own right) can fail in a number of well defined ways. % % % % % In other words, we have taken a {\fg} and analysed how % % \textbf{it} can fail according to the failure modes of its components, and then can % % determine the {\fg} failure modes. % % % % \paragraph{Creating a derived component.} % % We create a new `{\dc}' which has % % the failure symptoms of the {\fg} from which it was derived, as its set of failure modes. % % This new {\dc} is at a higher `failure~mode~abstraction~level' than {\bcs}. % % % % % \paragraph{An example of a {\dc}.} % % To give an example of this, we could look at the components that % % form, say an amplifier. We look at how all the components within it % % could fail and how that would affect the amplifier. % % % % % The ways in which the amplifier can be affected are its symptoms. % % % % % When we have determined the symptoms, we can % % create a {\dc} (called say AMP1) which has a {\em known set of failure modes} (i.e. its symptoms). % % We can now treat $AMP1$ as a pre-analysed, higher level component. % % %The amplifier is an abstract concept, in terms of the components. % % To a make an `amplifier' we have to connect a group of components % % in a specific configuration. This specific configuration corresponds to % % a {\fg}. Our use of it as a subsequent building block corresponds to a {\dc}. % % % % % % %What this means is the `fault~symptoms' of the module have been derived. % % % % % %When we have determined the fault~modes at the module level these can become a set of derived faults. % % %By taking sets of derived faults (module level faults) we can combine these to form modules % % %at a higher level of fault abstraction. An entire hierarchy of fault modes can now be built in this way, % % %to represent the fault behaviour of the entire system. This can be seen as using the modules we have analysed % % %as parts, parts which may now be combined to create new functional groups, % % %but as parts at a higher level of fault abstraction. % % \paragraph{Building the Hierarchy.} % % We can now apply the same process of building {\fgs} but with {\dcs} instead of {\bcs}. % % We can bring {\dcs} % % together to form functional groups and then create new {\dcs} % % at even higher abstraction levels. Eventually we will have a hierarchy % % that converges to one top level {\dc}. At this stage we have a complete failure % % mode model of the system under investigation. % % % % \begin{figure}[h] % % \centering % % \includegraphics[width=300pt,keepaspectratio=true]{CH5_Examples/tree_abstraction_levels.png} % % % tree_abstraction_levels.png: 495x292 pixel, 72dpi, 17.46x10.30 cm, bb=0 0 495 292 % % \caption{FMMD Hierarchy showing ascending abstraction levels} % % \label{fig:treeabslev} % % \end{figure} % % % % Figure~\ref{fig:treeabslev} shows an FMMD hierarchy, where the process of creating a {\dc} from a {\fg} % % is shown as a `$\derivec$' symbol. % % % % % % % % \clearpage \section{Example Analysis: Inverting OPAMP} \label{sec:invamp} \begin{figure}[h] \centering \includegraphics[width=200pt]{CH5_Examples/invamp.png} % invamp.png: 378x207 pixel, 72dpi, 13.34x7.30 cm, bb=0 0 378 207 \caption{Inverting Amplifier Configuration} \label{fig:invamp} \end{figure} %This configuration is interesting from methodology pers. There are two obvious ways in which we can model this circuit: One is to do this in two stages, by considering the gain resistors to be a potential divider and then combining it with the OPAMP failure mode model. The second is to place all three components in one {\fg}. Both approaches are followed in the next two sub-sections. \subsection{First Approach: Inverting OPAMP using a Potential Divider {\dc}} We cannot simply re-use the {\dc} $PD$ from section~\ref{subsec:potdiv}, not just because the potential divider is floating. That is the polarity of the R2 side of the potential divider is determined by the output from the op-amp. The circuit schematic stipulates that the input is positive.

The first stage analysed an inverted potential divider %, analyses its failure modes, giving the {\dc}(INVPD). The second stage analysed a {\fg} comprised of the INVPD and an OpAmp. % The second analysis (3 components) has to look at the effects of each failure mode of each resistor on the op-amp circuit. This meant more work for the analyst---that is an increase in the complexity of the analysis---compared to checking the two known failure modes from the pre-analysed inverted potential divider against the OpAmp. % Both analysis strategies obtained the same failure modes for the inverting amplifier (i.e. the same failure modes for the {\dc} INVAMP). \subsection{Conclusion} All FMEA is performed in the context of the environment and functionality of the enitity under analysis. This example shows that for the condition where the input voltage is constrained to being positive, we can apply two levels of de-composition. For the unconstrained case, we have to consider all three components as one larger {\fg}. % METRICS The complexity comparison figures % METRICS bear this out. For the two stage analysis, using equation~\ref{eqn:rd2}, we obtain a CC of $4.(2-1)+6.(2-1)=10$ % METRICS and for the second analysis a CC of $8.(3-2)=16$. % CAN WE MODULARISE TOO FAR???? CAN W MAKE IT TOO FINELY GRAINED. 08FEB2012 %Again, for the two stage analysis, using equation~\ref{eqn:rd}, we obtain a CC of $4.(2-1)+6.(2-1)=10$ %and for the second analysis a CC of $8.(3-2)=16$. %If the input voltage can be negative the potential divider %becomes reversed in polarity. %This means that detecting which failure mode has occurred from knowing the symptom, has become a more difficult task; or in other words %the observability of the causes of failure are reduced. Instead of the more specific symptoms $HIGH$ or $LOW$ we %obtain $OUT OF RANGE$ instead. \clearpage \section{Differencing Amplifier using two op-amps} \label{sec:diffamp} \begin{figure}[h] \centering \includegraphics[width=200pt]{CH5_Examples/circuit1001.png} % circuit1001.png: 420x300 pixel, 72dpi, 14.82x10.58 cm, bb=0 0 420 300 \caption{Circuit 1} \label{fig:circuit1} \end{figure} The circuit in figure~\ref{fig:circuit1} amplifies the difference between the input voltages $+V1$ and $+V2$.

The first amplifier was grounded and received as input `+V1' (presumably a positive voltage). This means the junction of R2 R3 is always +ve. This means the input voltage `+V2' could be lower than this. This means R3 R4 is not a fixed potential divider, with R4 being on the positive side. It could be on either polarity (i.e. the other way around R4 could be the negative side). Here it is more intuitive to model the resistors not as a potential divider, but individually. %This means we are either going to %get a high or low reading if R3 or R4 fail. \begin{table}[ht] \caption{Second Amplifier $SEC\_AMP$: Failure Mode Effects Analysis: Single Faults} % title of Table \centering % used for centering table \begin{tabular}{||l|c|l||} \hline \hline %\textbf{Test} & \textbf{Amplifier} & \textbf{ } & \textbf{General} \\ %\textbf{Case} & \textbf{Effect} & \textbf{ } & \textbf{Symtom Description} \\ \textbf{Failure} & \textbf{$SEC\_AMP$} & \textbf{Derived Component} \\ \textbf{cause} & \textbf{Amplifier Effect} & \textbf{Failure Mode} \\ % R & wire & res + & res - & description \hline \hline TC1: $OPAMP$ LatchUP & Output High & AMPHigh \\ TC2: $OPAMP$ LatchDown & Output Low : Low gain & AMPLow \\ TC3: $OPAMP$ No Operation & Output Low & AMPLow \\ TC4: $OPAMP$ Low Slew & Low pass filtering & LowPass \\ \hline TC5: $R3\_open$ & +V2 follower & AMPIncorrectOutput\\ TC6: $R3\_short$ & Undefined & AMPIncorrectOutput \\ & (impedance of IC1 vs +V2) & \\ \hline TC5: $R4\_open$ & High or Low output & AMPIncorrectOutput \\ & +V2$>$+V1 $\mapsto$ High & \\ & +V1$>$+V2 $\mapsto$ Low & \\ TC6: $R4\_short$ & +V2 follower & AMPIncorrectOutput \\ \hline %TC7: $R_2$ OPEN & LOW & & LowPD \\ \hline \hline \end{tabular} \label{ampfmea} \end{table} Collecting the symptoms we can see that this amplifier fails in four ways. %$\{ AMPHigh, AMPLow, LowPass, AMPIncorrectOutput\}$. %We can now We create a derived component, $SEC\_AMP$, to represent it with failure modes described by: $$ fm(SEC\_AMP) = \{ AMPHigh, AMPLow, LowPass, AMPIncorrectOutput \} .$$ %Its failure modes are therefore the same.

Starting at the input, we have a first order low pass filter buffered by an op-amp, the output of this is passed to a Sallen~Key~\cite{aoe}[p.267]~\cite{electronicssysapproach}[p.288] second order low-pass filter. The output of this is passed into another Sallen~Key filter. % -- which although it may have different values %for its resistors/capacitors and thus have a different frequency response -- is identical from a failure mode perspective. Thus we can analyse the first Sallen~Key low pass filter and re-use it for the second stage (avoiding repeat work that would have had to be performed using traditional FMEA). \begin{figure}[h] \centering \includegraphics[width=400pt,keepaspectratio=true]{CH5_Examples/blockdiagramcircuit2.png} % blockdiagramcircuit2.png: 689x83 pixel, 72dpi, 24.31x2.93 cm, bb=0 0 689 83 \caption{Signal Flow through the five pole low pass filter} \label{fig:blockdiagramcircuit2} \end{figure} \paragraph{First Order Low Pass Filter.} \label{sec:lp} We begin with the first order low pass filter formed by $R10$ and $C10$. % This configuration (or {\fg}) is very commonly used %in electronics to remove unwanted high frequencies/noise from a signal. %; here it is being used as a first stage of a more sophisticated low pass filter. % R10 and C10 act as a potential divider, with the crucial difference between a purely resistive potential divider being that the impedance of the capacitor is lower for higher frequencies. % Thus higher frequencies are attenuated at the point that we read its output signal. % However, from a failure mode perspective we can analyse it in a very similar way to a potential divider (see section~\ref{subsec:potdiv}). Capacitors generally fail OPEN but some types fail OPEN and SHORT. We will consider the worst case two failure mode model for this analysis.

The circuit under analysis is -- as shown in the block diagram (see figure~\ref{fig:blockdiagramcircuit2}) -- three op-amp driven non-inverting low pass filter elements. It is not surprising therefore that they have very similar failure modes. From a safety point of view, the failure modes $LOW$, $HIGH$ and $NO\_SIGNAL$ could be easily detected; the failure symptom $FilterIncorrect$ may be less observable. \subsection{Conclusion} This example shows the analysis of a linear signal path circuit with three easily identifiable {\fgs} and re-use of the Sallen-Key {\dc}. \clearpage \section{Quad Op-Amp Oscillator} \label{sec:bubba} \begin{figure}[h] \centering \includegraphics[width=200pt]{CH5_Examples/circuit3003.png} % circuit3003.png: 503x326 pixel, 72dpi, 17.74x11.50 cm, bb=0 0 503 326 \caption{Circuit 3} \label{fig:circuit3} \end{figure} %\clearpage %\section{Standard Non-inverting OP AMP} This circuit is described in the Analog Applications Journal~\cite{bubba}[p.37]. The circuit implements an oscillator using four 45 degree phase shifts, and an inverting amplifier to provide gain and the final 180 degrees of phase shift (making a total of 360). % degrees of phase shift). The circuit provides two outputs with a quadrature phase relationship. % From a fault finding perspective this circuit cannot be de-composed because the whole circuit is enclosed within a feedback loop, hence a fault anywhere in the loop is likely to affect all stages. % However, this is not a problem for FMMD, as {\fgs} are readily identifiable. % %The signal path is circular (its a positive feedback circuit) and most failures would simply cause the output to stop oscillating. %The top level failure modes for the FMMD hierarchy bear this out. %However, FMMD is a bottom -up analysis methodology and we can therefore still identify %{\fgs} and apply analysis from a failure mode perspective. % % METRICS If we were to analyse this circuit using traditional FMEA (i.e. without modularisation) we observe 14 components with % METRICS ($4.4 +10 \times 2 = 36$) failure modes. Applying equation~\ref{eqn:rd2} gives a complexity comparison figure of $13.36=468$. % METRICS We now create FMMD models and compare the complexity of FMMD and FMEA. % %We start the FMMD process by determining {\fgs}. We initially identify three types of functional groups, an inverting amplifier (analysed in section~\ref{fig:invamp}), a 45 degree phase shifter (a {$10k\Omega$} resistor and a $10nF$ capacitor) and a non-inverting buffer amplifier. We can name these $INVAMP$, $PHS45$ and $NIBUFF$ respectively. We can use these {\fgs} to describe the circuit in block diagram form with arrows indicating the signal path, in figure~\ref{fig:bubbablock}. \begin{figure}[h] \centering \includegraphics[width=300pt,keepaspectratio=true]{CH5_Examples/bubba_oscillator_block_diagram.png} % bubba_oscillator_block_diagram.png: 720x295 pixel, 72dpi, 25.40x10.41 cm, bb=0 0 720 295 \caption{Circuit 3: Electrical signal path block diagram of the `Bubba' oscillator, showing the circular circuit topology.} \label{fig:bubbablock} \end{figure} We can now analyse each of these {\fgs} and create failure mode models for them, and from these determine {\dcs}. \subsection{Inverting Amplifier: INVAMP} This has been analysed in section~\ref{sec:invamp}. The inverting amplifier, as a {\dc}, has the following failure modes: $$ fm(INVAMP) = \{ AMP\_High, AMP\_Low, LowPass \}. $$ % \{ HIGH, LOW, LOW PASS \}. $$ % METRICS and has a CC of 10. \subsection{Phase shifter: PHS45} This consists of a resistor and a capacitor. We already have failure mode models for these components -- $ fm(R) = \{OPEN, SHORT\}$, $fm(C) = \{OPEN, SHORT\}$ -- we now need to see how these failure modes would affect the phase shifter. Note that the circuit here is identical to the low pass filter in circuit topology (see \ref{sec:lp}), but its intended use is different. We have to analyse this circuit from the perspective of it being a {\em phase~shifter} not a {\em low~pass~filter}. Our functional group for the phase shifter consists of a resistor and a capacitor, $G_0 = \{ R, C \}$ (FMMD analysis details at section~\ref{detail:PHS45}) $$ fm (G_0) = \{ nosignal, 0\_phaseshift \} $$ %$$ CC(G_0) = 4 \times 1 = 4 $$ %23SEP2012 \subsection{Non Inverting Buffer: NIBUFF.} The non-inverting buffer functional group, is comprised of one component, an op-amp. We use the failure modes for an op-amp~\cite{fmd91}[p.3-116] to represent this group. % GARK $$ fm(NIBUFF) = fm(OPAMP) = \{L\_{up}, L\_{dn}, Noop, L\_slew \} $$ Because we obtain the failure modes for $NIBUFF$ from the literature, its comparison complexity is zero. In re-using {\dcs} we expend no extra analysis effort. $$ CC(NIBUFF) = 0 $$ %\subsection{Forming a functional group from the PHS45 and NIBUFF.} % describe what we are doing, a buffered 45 degree phase shift element \subsection{Bringing the functional Groups Together: FMMD model of the `Bubba' Oscillator.} We could at this point bring all the {\dcs} together into one large functional group (see figure~\ref{fig:bubbaeuler1}) %{fig:poss1finalbubba}) or we could try to merge smaller stages. Initially we use the first identified {\fgs} to create our model without further stages of refinement/hierarchy. \subsection{FMMD Analysis using initially identified functional groups} Our functional group for this analysis can be expressed thus: % %$$ G^1_0 = \{ PHS45^1_1, NIBUFF^0_1, PHS45^1_2, NIBUFF^0_2, PHS45^1_3, NIBUFF^0_3 PHS45^1_4, INVAMP^1_0 \} ,$$ $$ G = \{ PHS45, NIBUFF, PHS45, NIBUFF, PHS45, NIBUFF PHS45, INVAMP \} ,$$ or in Euler diagram format as in figure~\ref{fig:bubbaeuler1}. % HTR 23SEP2012 \begin{figure}[h+] % HTR 23SEP2012 \centering % HTR 23SEP2012 \includegraphics[width=300pt,keepaspectratio=true]{CH5_Examples/poss1finalbubba.png} % HTR 23SEP2012 % largeosc.png: 916x390 pixel, 72dpi, 32.31x13.76 cm, bb=0 0 916 390 % HTR 23SEP2012 \caption{Bubba Oscillator: One large functional group using the initial functional groups to model oscillator.} % HTR 23SEP2012 \label{fig:poss1finalbubba} % HTR 23SEP2012 \end{figure} % \begin{figure}[h] \centering \includegraphics[width=400pt]{./CH5_Examples/bubba_euler_1.png} % bubba_euler_1.png: 946x404 pixel, 72dpi, 33.37x14.25 cm, bb=0 0 946 404 \caption{Euler diagram showing the hierarchy of the initial FMMD analysis performed on the Bubba Oscillator circuit.} \label{fig:bubbaeuler1} \end{figure} % The detail of the FMMD analysis can be found in section~\ref{detail:BUBOSC1}.

It has %also given us five {\dcs}, building blocks, which could potentially be re-used for similar circuitry to analyse in the future. % % \subsection{Comparing both approaches} % %In general with large functional groups the comparison complexity %is higher, by an order of $O(N^2)$. Smaller functional groups mean less by-hand checks are required. It also means a more finely grained model. This means that there are more {\dcs} and therefore increases the potential for re-use of pre-analysed {\dcs}. % HTR The more we can modularise, the more we decimate the $O(N^2)$ effect % HTR of complexity comparison. % \subsection{conclusion} With FMMD there is always a choice for the membership of {\fgs}. This example has shown that the simple approach, identifying initial {\fgs} and using them to build a large {\fg} to model the circuit gives a valid result. However, it involves a large reasoning distance, the final stage having 24 failure modes to consider against each of the other seven {\dcs}. A finer grained approach produces more potentially re-usable {\dcs} and involves a several stages with lower reasoning distances. \clearpage \section{Sigma Delta Analogue to Digital Converter (\sd).} %($\Sigma \Delta ADC$)} \label{sec:sigmadelta} The following example is used to demonstrate FMMD analysis of a mixed analogue and digital circuit (see figure~\ref{fig:sigmadelta}). \begin{figure}[h] \centering \includegraphics[width=300pt]{./CH5_Examples/circuit4004.png} % circuit4004.png: 562x389 pixel, 72dpi, 19.83x13.72 cm, bb=0 0 562 389 \caption{Sigma Delta Analogue to Digital Converter} \label{fig:sigmadelta} \end{figure} % \nocite{f77} \nocite{sccs} \nocite{electronicssysapproach} % \begin{figure}[h] \centering \includegraphics[width=300pt,keepaspectratio=true]{./CH5_Examples/sigma_delta_block.png} % sigma_delta_block.png: 828x367 pixel, 72dpi, 29.21x12.95 cm, bb=0 0 828 367 \caption{Electrical signal path Block diagram: \sd} % Analogue to Digital Converter } \label{fig:sigmadeltablock} \end{figure} \paragraph{How the circuit works.} A detailed description of \sd may be found in~\cite{mixedsignaldsp}[pp.69-80]. The diagram in~\ref{fig:sigmadeltablock} shows the signal path used by this configuration for a \sd. % It works by placing the analogue voltage to be read into a mixed analogue and digital feedback circuit. % A summing junction and integrator is used to compare the negative feedback signal with the input. % The output of the integrator is converted to a digital level (by IC2) %digitally cleaned-up by IC2 (i.e. output is TRUE or FALSE for digital logic) %which acts as a comparator, and fed to the D type flip flop. % % % The output of the flip flop is routed to the digital output and to the feedback loop. It must be level converted before being fed to the analogue feedback. It is level converted to an analogue signal by IC3. (i.e. a digital 0 becomes a -ve voltage and a digital 1 becomes a +ve voltage) and fed into the summing integrator completing the negative feedback loop. % In essence this implements an over-sampling one bit analogue to digital converter~\cite{ehb}[pp.729-730]. The output of the flip flop forms a bit pattern representing the value of the input voltage (i.e. the value of the sum of 1's and 0's is proportional to the voltage value at the input). \subsection{FMMD analysis of \sd } %The partslist for the \sd : % %$$\{ IC1, IC2, IC3, IC4, R1, R2, R3, R4, C1 \} $$. % The parts for the \sd are a mixture of analogue (resistors, capacitors, OpAmps) and digital (D type flip flop, and a digital clock). We examine the failure modes of all components in this circuit below. % IC1,IC2 and IC3 are all OpAmps and we have failure modes for this component type from section~\ref{sec:opamp_fms}. % $$ fm(OPAMP) = \{ HIGH, LOW, NOOP, LOW\_SLEW \} $$ % We examine the literature for a failure model for the D-type flip flop~\cite{fmd91}[3-105], for example the CD4013B~\cite{cd4013Bds}, and obtain its failure modes, which we can express using the $fm$ function: %% $$ fm ( CD4013B) = \{ HIGH, LOW, NOOP \} $$ % The resistors and capacitor failure modes we take from EN298~\cite{en298}[An.A] % $$ fm ( R ) = \{OPEN, SHORT\} $$ % $$ fm ( C ) = \{OPEN, SHORT\} $$ % We are also given a CLOCK. For the purpose of example we shall attribute one failure mode to this, that it might stop. % $$ fm ( CLOCK ) = \{ STOPPED \} $$ \subsection{Identifying initial {\fgs}} \subsubsection{Summing Junction Integrator (SUMJINT)} We now need to choose {\fgs}. The most obvious way to find initial {\fgs} is to follow the signal path. The signal path is circular, but we can start with the input voltage, which is applied via $R2$, we term this voltage $V_{in}$. % The feedback voltage for the ADC is supplied via $R1$, we term this voltage as $V_{fb}$. %The input voltage is supplied via $R2$ and we term this voltage as $V_{in}$. $R2$ and $R1$ form a summing junction to IC1: they balance the integrator provided by the capacitor C1 and the opamp IC1. This can be our first {\fg} and we analyse it in table~\ref{tbl:sumjint}. %For the symptoms, we have to think in terms of the effect %on its performance as a summing junction and not be %distracted by the integrator formed by $C_1$ and $IC1$. % $$FG = \{R1, R2, IC1, C1 \}$$ That is the failure modes (see FMMD analysis at ~\ref{detal:SUMJINT})of our new {\dc} $SUMJINT$ are $$\{ V_{in} DOM, V_{fb} DOM, NO\_INTEGRATION, HIGH, LOW \} .$$ \clearpage \subsubsection{High Impedance Signal Buffer (HISB)} Next in the signal path (see figure~\ref{fig:sigmadeltablock}) is a signal buffer. This presents a high impedance to the circuit driving it. This prevents electrical loading, and thus interference with, the SUMJINT stage. This is simply an op-amp with the input connected to the +ve input and the -ve input grounded. It therefore has the failure modes of an Op-amp. % % \end{tabular} % \end{table} This is an OpAmp in a signal buffer configuration. As it is performing one particular function we my consider it as a derived component, that of a High Impedance Signal Buffer (HISB). This is analysed using FMMD in section~\ref{detail:HISB}. % We create the {\dc} $HISB$ and its failure modes may be stated as $$fm(HISB) = \{HIGH, LOW, NOOP, LOW_{SLEW} \}.$$ \subsubsection{Digital level to analogue level conversion ($DL2AL$).} The integrator is implemented in digital electronics, but the output from the D type flip flop is a digital signal. A conversion stage is required to interface these stages. Digital level to analogue level conversion is performed by IC3 in conjunction with a potential divider formed by R3,R4. The potential divider provides a mid rail reference voltage to the inverting input of IC3. \paragraph{Potential divider Formed by R3,R4.} We re-use the analysis from table~\ref{tbl:pdfmea}, and use the derived component $PD$ to represent the potential divider formed by R3 and R4. %Because PD is a derived component, we can denote this %by super-scripting it with its abstraction level of 1, thus $PD$. $$ fm(PD) = \{ HIGH, LOW \}. $$ % IC3 is an op-amp and has the failure modes $$fm(IC3) = \{\{ HIGH, LOW, NOOP, LOW\_SLEW \} . $$ % The digital signal is supplied to the non-inverting input. The output is a voltage level in the analogue domain $-V$ or $+V$. % We now form a {\fg} from $PD $ and $IC3$. % $$ FG = \{ PD , IC3 \} $$ % We now analyse this {\fg} (see section~\ref{detail:DS2AS}). $$ fm (DL2AL) = \{ LOW, HIGH, LOW\_{SLEW} \} $$ %\clearpage \subsubsection{$DIGBUF$ --- digital clocked memory (flip-flop).} % % This is a single component as a {\fg}, and we can state % $$ fm (DCM) = \{ HIGH, LOW, NOOP \} $$ The digital element of the {\sd}, is the one bit memory, or D type flip flop. This buffers the feedback result and provides the output bit stream. We create a {\fg} from the CLOCK and IC4 to model this digital buffer. $$FG = \{ IC4, CLOCK \}$$ %% DIGBUF --- Digital Buffer We now analyse this {\fg} (see section~\ref{detail:DIGBUF}). %in table~\ref{tbl:digbuf}. We can now derive a new component to represent the digital buffer and call it $DIGBUF$. $$ fm (DIGBUF) = \{ LOW, STOPPED \} $$ %%% END DIGBUF \subsection{First {\fgs} analysed} We have analysed the initial {\fgs} and have created our first {\dcs}. %and can now take stock of the situation %and see what is now required. %Figure~\ref{fig:sigdel1} shows which {\fgs} we have analysed so far. %hierarchy has been built. These are: \begin{itemize} \item SUMJINT --- A summing junction and integrator, \item HISB --- A high impedance buffer, \item DIGITALBUFF --- A one bit digital buffer, \item DL2AL --- A digital to analog level converter, \item DIGBUF --- A digital one bit buffer/memory. \end{itemize} These {\dcs} follow the signal path shown in figure~\ref{fig:sigmadeltablock}. We now use these {\dcs} to create higher level {\fgs}. %to represent the failure mode %behaviour of the $\Sigma \Delta ADC$. We represent this in the Euler diagram in figure~\ref{fig:eulersd}. The next stage is to create {\fgs} from these initial {\dcs} and make a complete failure mode for the {\sd}. \begin{figure}[h] \centering \includegraphics[width=400pt]{./CH5_Examples/eulersd.png} % eulersd.png: 1018x334 pixel, 72dpi, 35.91x11.78 cm, bb=0 0 1018 334 \caption{Euler diagram showing the initial {\dcs} used to model the $\Sigma \Delta ADC$} \label{fig:eulersd} \end{figure} % % \begin{figure}[h+] % \centering % \includegraphics[width=400pt]{./CH5_Examples/sigdel1.png} % % sigdel1.png: 766x618 pixel, 72dpi, 27.02x21.80 cm, bb=0 0 766 618 % \caption{First stage of FMMD analysis: Sigma delta Converter} % \label{fig:sigdel1} % \end{figure} \clearpage \subsubsection{{\fg} $HISB$ and $SUMJINT$} We now form a {\fg} with the two derived components $HISB$ and $SUMJINT$. This forms a buffered integrating summing junction. We analyse this using FMMD (see section~\ref{detail:BISJ}). %which we analyse in table~\ref{tbl:BISJ}. $$ FG = \{ HISB, SUMJINT \} $$ Our derived component BISJ has the failure mode defined by the $fm$ function thus: $$ fm(BISJ) = \{ OUTPUT STUCK , REDUCED\_INTEGRATION \} . $$ \subsubsection{{\fg} $DL2AL$ and $DIGBUF$} %$$ fm (DL2AL^2) = \{ LOW, HIGH, LOW\_SLEW \} $$ %$$ fm ( CD4013B) = \{ HIGH, LOW, NOOP \} $$ The functional group formed by $DIGBUF$ and $DL2AL$ takes the flip flop clocked and buffered value, and outputs it at analogue voltage levels for the summing junction. $ FG = \{ DIGBUF, DL2AL \} $ We analyse the buffered flip flop circuitry and create a {\dc} $FFB$, where $$fm (FFB) = \{OUTPUT STUCK, LOW\_SLEW\}$$. %\clearpage \subsection{Final, top level {\fg} for sigma delta Converter} We now have two {\dcs}, $FFB$ and $BISJ$. These together represent all base components within this circuit. We form a final functional group with these: $$ FG = \{ FFB , BISJ \} .$$ We analyse the buffered {\sd} circuit using FMMD (see section~\ref{detail:SDADC}). %in table~\ref{tbl:sdadc}. % % FFB^3 $\{OUTPUT STUCK, LOW\_SLEW\}$ % BISJ^2 $\{ OUTPUT STUCK , REDUCED\_INTEGRATION \}$ % We now have a {\dc} $SDADC$ which provides a failure mode model for the \sd. $$fm(SSDADC) = \{OUTPUT\_OUT\_OF\_RANGE, OUTPUT\_INCORRECT\}$$ We now show the final {\dc} hierarchy in figure~\ref{fig:eulersdfinal}. \begin{figure}[h] \centering \includegraphics[width=400pt]{./CH5_Examples/eulersdfinal.png} % eulersd.png: 1018x334 pixel, 72dpi, 35.91x11.78 cm, bb=0 0 1018 334 \caption{Euler diagram showing the final {\dcs} used to model the $\Sigma \Delta ADC$} \label{fig:eulersdfinal} \end{figure} % \begin{figure}[h] % \centering % \includegraphics[width=400pt]{./CH5_Examples/sdadc.png} % % sdadc.png: 886x1134 pixel, 72dpi, 31.26x40.01 cm, bb=0 0 886 1134 % \caption{FMMD Analysis hierarchy for the {\sd}} % \label{fig:sdadc} % \end{figure} \clearpage % ] % into % % A summing integrator % adds the voltage input to the feedback signal. % The digital circuitry tries to % apply a voltage to the integrator that will % produce a zero output... doh this is difficult to describe. % % % The input voltage is summed with the feedback from the circuit % and is fed into a comparator (IC2) that will output a plus or minus. % This is fed into the input (D) of a DQ flip flop. % This digitally buffers the output from the comparator. % The output from the from the DQ flkip flop is a digital representation % of the input voltage. % The output from the DQ is sent to the digital comparator formed by R3,R4 % and IC3. % The output from this is sent to the summing integrator as the signal summed with the input. \subsection{conclusion} The \sd example, shows that FMMD can be applied to mixed digital and analogue circuitry. % The resistors R1, R2 form a summing junction % to the negative input of IC1. % Using the earlier definition for resistor failure modes, % $fm(R)= \{OPEN, SHORT\}$, we analyse the summing junction % in table~\ref{tbl:sumjunct} below. % % \begin{table}[h+] % \caption{Summing Junction: Failure Mode Effects Analysis: Single Faults} % title of Table % \label{tbl:sumjunct} % % \begin{tabular}{|| l | l | c | c | l ||} \hline % \textbf{Failure Scenario} & & \textbf{Summing} & & \textbf{Symptom} \\ % & & \textbf{Junction} & & \\ % \hline % FS1: R1 SHORT & & R1 input dominates & & $R1\_IN\_DOM$ \\ \hline % FS2: R1 OPEN & & R2 input dominates & & $R2\_IN\_DOM$ \\ \hline % FS3: R2 SHORT & & R2 input dominates & & $R2\_IN\_DOM$ \\ \hline % FS4: R2 OPEN & & R1 input dominates & & $R1\_IN\_DOM$ \\ \hline % % \hline % % \end{tabular} % \end{table} % % PHS45 % % This summing junction fails with two symptoms.
