Using electronic systems to control complex applications has found its way into nearly all technical and industrial areas during the last four decades. Today, in addition to system size, reduced system costs, optimized energy consumption and high reliability or safety, the aspects of functional safety are increasingly in the focus of many applications. Especially concerning safe embedded cyber-physical systems, which is favored by increasing integration of components, these aspects are of central importance. This article describes a consistently safety 1oo2 SoC architecture model (a miniaturized safety system on a chip) based on a modified software comparator architecture. The design and realization of the safety SoC, according to IEC 61508, are also presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
