This section summarizes the component functional safety capability.
This hardware component:
For functional safety development, it is necessary to manage both systematic and random faults. Texas Instruments follows a new-product development process for all of its components which helps to decrease the probability of systematic failures. This new-product development process is described in Section 3.1. Components being designed for functional safety applications will additionally follow the requirements of TI's functional safety development process, which is described in Section 3.2.
