The TI functional safety development flow derives from ISO 26262:2018 and IEC 61508:2010 a set of requirements and methodologies to be applied to semiconductor development. This flow is combined with TI's standard new product development process to develop Functional Safety-Compliant components. The details of this functional safety development flow are described in the TI internal specification - Functional Safety Hardware.
Key elements of the TI functional safety-development flow are as follows:
Table 3-1 lists these functional safety development activities that are overlaid atop the standard development flow in Section 3.1.
For more information about which functional safety life-cycle activities TI performs, see Appendix A.
The customer facing work products derived from this Functional Safety-Compliant process are applicable to many other functional safety standards beyond ISO 26262:2018 and IEC 61508:2010.
Assess | Plan | Create | Validate | Sustain and End-of-Life |
---|---|---|---|---|
