Using Safety Application Notes to Aid Safety Designs—Part 3: Improving Functional Safety Performance - Blog
May 11, 2026After doing a first iteration of the failure modes, effects, and diagnostics analysis (FMEDA) on a safety function’s circuit, there can only be two outcomes. The first is that the system integrity level (SIL) requirements are achieved, and the second is a failure to meet the requirements.
Using Safety Application Notes to Aid Safety Designs Part 2: Plugging in the FMEDA - Blog
April 28, 2026After doing some sanity checks to confirm whether the assumptions in deriving the component’s functional safety (FS) failure rate, failure mode distribution (FMD), and pin failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA), the next step system integrators need to take is to plug the data into their system’s failure modes, effects, and diagnostics analysis (FMEDA).
