This section summarizes the TMS320F280013x product safety capability. Each TMS320F280013x product:
- Was not developed according to the requirements
of any functional safety standard
- FIT rates and failure mode distributions are
provided as part of the functional safety analysis report for customers to
calculate random fault integrity metrics
- Recommendations are provided in this functional
safety manual for external safety mechanisms that may provide coverage for
component failure modes
TI recommends that this component is integrated
into the system through the strategy of 'evaluation of hardware element' (ISO
26262-8:2018 clause 13).
Additionally,
- The TMS320F280013x 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, the expectation is that the component functional safety
manual provides 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 TMS320F280013x 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.
