Welcome to Functional Safety – Part 1
This session provides an overview of Functional Safety Mechanisms and the processes we follow to ensure safety compliance in our designs. We will cover the objectives and need for FSMs, how traceability is maintained, and the complete workflow from development to validation.
We will discuss:
-
FSM Objectives & Need – why safety mechanisms are essential
-
Traceability – linking requirements to design and verification evidence
-
Training & Development Process – skill-building and implementation practices
-
Testing Process – simulations, fault injections, and regression checks
-
Validation Kit – ensuring FSM performance in real-world scenarios
-
Compliance Management – meeting safety standards and audit readiness
-
Change Management – handling updates without breaking safety guarantees
By the end of this session, you will understand the foundational elements of FSMs and how they fit into our functional safety workflow.
