Products being used within their end-product application can suffer systematic or random failures. Functional safety standards are designed to help influence the reduction of potential risks of ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

When you mention heterogeneous processing (processing by multiple types of execution units, such as CPUs, GPUs, DSPs, NPUs, ISPs, etc.), smartphones and servers come to mind, but another platform with ...

Following a week of web-based meetings in mid-May, the ISA84 standards committee, Instrumented Systems to Achieve Functional Safety in the Process Industries, is moving well ahead in developing and ...

As use of digital technologies increases in manufacturing environments, protecting both physical operations and network infrastructure becomes a critical business priority. The convergence of ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Functional safety accounts for time — to build on existing safety structure (category) approaches. As we explored last month in this article series, accounting for time requires more work from safety ...
