In this paper a complete safety controller on a single chip is introduced. The presented chip is a comprehensive solution that includes a certified application specific integrated circuit for safety-critical applications according to the safety standard IEC 61508, meeting the safety integrity level SIL3. Furthermore, a SIL3 operating system and a SIL3 middleware are also briefly presented in this paper. Based on the presented solution, the smallest certified safety controller represents an innovative product and allows system manufacturers to create safe solutions that are ready for certification.
