2.3.1 Assumptions of Use for Calculation of Safety Metrics

A number of assumptions must be made in order to calculate the safety metrics according to ISO 26262:2018. The assumptions of use for the reference are detailed below:

  • Confidence level applied to permanent FIT rates:
  • Confidence level applied to transient FIT rates:
  • Neutron flux: set to 1 (equivalent to exposure at sea level, as measured in New York City)
  • Thermal management (Theta-Ja):
  • Use case power:
  • Safe vs non-safe: All permanent faults are considered 0% safe by default. Transient faults of digital SRAM, digital logic, and flash are considered 50% by default.
  • Operational (mission) profile used:
  • Special considerations on pin level tailoring:
  • Special considerations on function and diag tailoring:
  • Special considerations on the application of diagnostics:
