This section summarizes the TMS320F2838x product safety capability. Each TMS320F2838x product:
- Is offered as a functional Safety Element Out Of Context (SEooC)
- Was assessed to have met the relevant systematic capability compliance requirements of IEC 61508:2010 and ISO 26262:2018 and
- Achieves systematic integrity of SIL 3 and ASIL D
- In addition, the device can meet hardware architectural metrics up to ASIL B and SIL 2 by implementing proper safety concept (for example, Reciprocal Comparison by Software).
- Contains multiple features to support Freedom From Interference (FFI) for mixed-criticality of safety requirements assigned to the different sub-elements
- The TMS320F2838x MCUs are Type B devices, as defined in IEC 61508-2:2010
- This device claims no hardware fault tolerance, (for example, no claims of HFT > 0), as defined in IEC 61508:2010
- For safety components developed according to many safety standards, it is expected that the component functional safety manual will provide a list of product safety constraints. For a simple component or more complex components developed for a single application, this is a reasonable response. However, the TMS320F2838x MCU product family is both a complex design and is not developed targeting a single, specific application. Therefore, a single set of product safety constraints cannot govern all viable uses of the product.
