\section{Introduction: The non-inverting amplifier}

|
}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A standard non inverting op amp (from ``The Art of Electronics'' ~\cite{aoe}[pp.234]) is shown in figure \ref{fig:noninvamp}.

|
The function of the resistors in this circuit is to set the amplifier gain.
|
|
They operate as a potential divider and program the minus input on the op-amp
|
|
to balance them against the positive input, giving the voltage gain ($G_v$)
|
|
defined by $ G_v = 1 + \frac{R2}{R1} $ at the output.
|
|
|
|
A functional group, is an ideally small in number collection of components,
|
|
that interact to provide
|
|
a function or task within a system.
|
|
As the resistors work to provide a specific function, that of a potential divider,
|
|
we can treat them as a functional group. This functional group has two members, $R1$ and $R2$.
|
|
Using the EN298 specification for resistor failure ~\cite{en298}[App.A]
|
|
we can assign failure modes of $OPEN$ and $SHORT$ to the resistors.
|
|
Thus $R1$ has failure modes $\{R1\_OPEN, R1\_SHORT\}$ and $R2$ has failure modes $\{R2\_OPEN, R2\_SHORT\}$.
|
|

\section{Failure Mode Analysis of the Potential Divider}
|
|
|
|
Modelling this as a functional group, we can draw a simple closed curve
|
|
to represent each failure mode, taken from the components R1 and R2,
|
|
in the potential divider, shown in figure \ref{fig:fg1}.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
\label{fig:fg1}
|
|
\end{figure}
|
|
|
|
We can now look at each of these base component failure modes,
|
|
and determine how they will affect the operation of the potential divider.
|
|
%Each failure mode scenario we look at will be given a test case number,
|
|
%which is represented on the diagram, with an asterisk marking
|
|
%which failure modes is modelling (see figure \ref{fig:fg1a}).
|
|
Each labelled asterisk in the diagram represents a failure mode scenario.
|
|
The failure mode scenarios are given test case numbers, and an example to clarify this follows
|
|
in table~\ref{pdfmea}.

We can now collect the symptoms of failure. From the four base component failure modes, we now
|
|
have two symptoms, where the potential divider will give an incorrect low voltage (which we can term $LowPD$)
|
|
or an incorrect high voltage (which we can term $HighPD$).
|
|
|
|
We can represent the collection of these symptoms by drawing connecting lines between
|
|
the test cases and naming them (see figure \ref{fig:fg1b}).
|
|

We can now make a `derived component' to represent this potential divider.
|
|
This {\dc} will have two failure modes.
|
|
We can use the symbol $\bowtie$ to represent taking the analysed
|
|
{\fg} and creating from it, a {\dc}.
|
|
|
|
%We could represent it algebraically thus: $ \bowtie(PotDiv) =

Because the derived component is defined by its failure modes and
|
|
the functional group used to derive it, we can use it
|
|
as a building block for other {\fgs} in the same way as we used the resistors $R1$ and $R2$.

\section{Failure Mode Analysis of the OP-AMP}
|
|
|
|
Let use now consider the op-amp. According to
|
|
FMD-91~\cite{fmd91}[3-116] an op amp may have the following failure modes:
|
|
latchup(12.5\%), latchdown(6\%), nooperation(31.3\%), lowslewrate(50\%).
|
|
|
|
We can represent these failure modes on a diagram (see figure~\ref{fig:op1}).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

\section{Bringing the OP amp and the potential divider together}
|
|
|
|
We can now consider bringing the OP amp and the potential divider together to
|
|
for an amplifier. We have the failure modes of the functional group for the potential divider,
|
|
so we do not need to consider the individual resistor failure modes that define its behaviour.
|
|
We can make a new functional group to represent the amplifier, by bringing the component \textbf{opamp}
|
|
and the component potential divider into a new functional group.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This functional group has the failure modes from the op-amp component, and the failure modes
|
|
from the potential divider {\dc} to analyse represented by figure~\ref{fig:fgamp}.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|

|
We can now place test cases on this (note this analysis considers single failure modes only
|
|
where we want to model multiple failures, we can over lap contours, and place the test cases in overlapping
|
|
regions) see figure~\ref{fig:fgampa}.

\section{Conclusion}
|
|
|
|
We now have a derived component that represents the failure modes of a non-inverting
|
|
op-amp based amplifier. We can now use this to model higher level designs, where we have systems
|
|
that use this type of amplifier.
|
|
If failure mode/reliability statistics were required these could be derived
|
|
from the model, as each failure mode of the derived component
|
|
is traceable to one or more base component failure mode causes, for which established
|
|
statistical literature is available ~\cite{mil1991}~\cite{fmd91}.
|
|
Software used to edit these diagrams, keeps the model in a directed acyclic graph data structure
|
|
for this purpose.
