@copilot, develop an FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) report in a table ...

@copilot, develop an FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) report in a table format that analyzes the systems schematic, each unique component specification, and operational parameters. It should identify critical failure modes, assess their impact, and recommend mitigation actions based on severity, occurrence probability, and detectability. Include columns such as: process step, potential failure mode, potential failure effect, S, O, D, RPN, Action Recommended, and any other you see fit.

@copilot Perform a Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) for the given project. Follow these detailed steps to create the FMEA report:
IMPORTANT: Only print out the final documentation table. Do not print anything from step 1 to 10, only memorize that information
  1. Component Identification:
  • Identify all components and subsystems in the schematic.
  • List each component with its designator (e.g., U1, R2, C3) and a brief description of its function.
  1. Failure Modes Identification:
  • For each component, identify possible failure modes. A failure mode is a way in which a component could fail (e.g., short circuit, open circuit, parameter drift).
  1. Effects Analysis:
  • Determine the potential effects of each failure mode on the system. Consider both local effects (on the immediate circuit) and global effects (on the overall system performance).
  1. Severity Rating:
  • Assign a severity rating (S) to each effect based on its impact on the system. Use a scale from 1 to 10, where 1 indicates negligible impact and 10 indicates catastrophic failure.
  1. Cause Identification:
  • Identify possible causes for each failure mode. Consider manufacturing defects, environmental conditions, and operational stresses.
  1. Occurrence Rating:
  • Assign an occurrence rating (O) to each cause based on the likelihood of it happening. Use a scale from 1 to 10, where 1 indicates extremely unlikely and 10 indicates almost certain.
  1. Detection Analysis:
  • Determine the existing controls and mechanisms in place to detect each failure mode before it leads to a system failure.
  1. Detection Rating:
  • Assign a detection rating (D) based on the effectiveness of current controls. Use a scale from 1 to 10, where 1 indicates a high likelihood of detection and 10 indicates a low likelihood of detection.
  1. Risk Priority Number (RPN) Calculation:
  • Calculate the Risk Priority Number (RPN) for each failure mode using the formula: RPN=S×O×D\text{RPN} = S \times O \times DRPN=S×O×D
  • Document the RPN for each failure mode.
  1. Prioritization and Recommendations:
  • Prioritize failure modes based on their RPN values.
  • Provide recommendations for reducing the RPN, such as design changes, additional controls, or improved detection methods.
  1. Documentation:
  • Organize your findings in a table format with the following columns:
    • Component Designator
    • Failure Mode
    • Potential Effects
    • Severity (S)
    • Causes
    • Occurrence (O)
    • Current Controls
    • Detection (D)
    • RPN
    • Recommended Actions
    • Notes

Technical Requirements
Power Requirements: ○ The module must operate within the power budget allocated for the laptop’s peripheral components, typically provided by the display assembly. ○ Voltage Rails: The image sensor, microphones, and ambient light sensor will be powered by individual low-dropout regulators (LDOs) to ensure clean, noise-free operation. Each power rail will be monitored to maintain stability across various operating conditions. ○ Efficiency: All components, especially the LDOs and sensors, must be optimized for low power consumption to extend battery life without compromising performance. 3. Interface Requirements: ○ MIPI-CSI2 Interface: The primary data interface for the image sensor will be routed directly to the motherboard, with considerations for signal integrity 3 PRD [TK_FFRTJ VER] V1.2024 over the flexible PCB. This includes careful impedance matching and shielding where necessary. ○ Audio Interface: The microphones will provide a PWM output, which will be fed directly to the motherboard's embedded controller. The interface must ensure low latency and high fidelity in audio capture. ○ I2C Interface: The ambient light sensor and touch sensors will communicate with the motherboard via I2C. This bus must be robust against noise and capable of supporting multiple devices with minimal interference. 4. Component Selection: ○ Components must be selected based on their availability, longevity, and open-source documentation compliance. Priority should be given to components that have established support in the open-source community and are readily available from multiple suppliers. ○ Packaging Considerations: All components must be available in compact packages that support the thin profile of the webcam module, such as QFN, WLCSP, or small LDO packages like the 1mm x 1mm X2SON used in the TLV740P series.
