Developing functional safety systems, including all the components such as the system-on-chip (SoC) and IP, hinges on the ability to meet the stringent automotive functional safety requirements such ...

As machines grow more complex and interconnected, functional safety standards and intuitive human-machine interfaces become ...

Functional safety engineers follow the ISA/IEC 61511 standard and perform calculations based on random hardware failures. These result in very low failure probabilities, which are then combined with ...

A power supply unit is one of the most crucial components in an electronics system, as its operation can affect the entire system’s functionality. In the context of industrial functional safety, as in ...

During the design process, failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) is typically used to assess how equipment and machinery might fail. Recent functional safety design legislation in the EU has ...

Based on the foundational IEC 61508 standard’s essential requirements, high-performance supervisory circuits can facilitate functional-safety compliance in safety instrumented systems and other ...

Functional safety issues have long been an important part of product development wherever machine operations that are potentially dangerous for humans are carried out unattended. However, in terms of ...

TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Renesas Electronics Corporation (TSE:6723), a premier supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, today announced the extension of the RX Functional Safety solution, with the ...

Complete, unambiguous, and correct software requirements, including safety or security requirements. Correct and consistent design specifications without extraneous functionality. Compiler-produced ...

Where functional safety risks need to be controlled, relying solely on EMC testing is inadequate, no matter how high the test levels are cranked up. Further, many engineers and project managers are ...

Underwriters Laboratories' Functional Safety Certificate program covers products that are evaluated for functional safety only, without UL Listing. The Three-Year Functional Safety Certificate means ...
