Altera Functional Safety Data Package

Altera Functional Safety Data Package is a solution to reduce development time, system complexity, and certification risk. This IEC61508-certified Safety Integrity Level 3 (SIL3) package reduces certification risks in safety-critical industrial applications. These applications include industrial servo and inverter drives, safety devices, and automation controllers. The Safety Separation Design Flow retains the FPGA benefit of quick upgrades/bug fixes while reducing the need for full design re-certification.

Features

  • Guidelines on how to use the approved Altera FPGA development methodology and tools to design IEC 61508 certifiable systems
  • FMEDA tool, allowing calculation of failure rates and safe failure fraction (SFF) for FPGA designs
  • Safety manuals, showing how to use the Altera Quartus® Prime Design Software and develop FPGA systems according to IEC 61508
  • Diagnostic IP with IEC 61508 standard documentation and source code to monitor the integrity of the FPGA, memory, and clock signals
  • FPGA device reliability reports
  • TÜV Rheinland qualification certificate
