Training Insights - Want to Implement Functional Safety to Make the Design Robust and Keep the System Safe?

Reliable semiconductors will be crucial to the success of future safety systems. Although design environments and verification have advanced at all stages of IC development, safety must be considered first and cannot be an afterthought. To obtain the ISO-26262 certification, designers must integrate functional safety into the design flow while Synthesizing, Implementing, and Verifying it. The target is to keep the safety-critical semiconductor devices in a safe state (where the system doesn’t cause unreasonable risk) throughout their operating lifetime.

The Cadence Midas Safety Platform tightly integrates with the complete Digital Implementation flow to implement Functional Safety in IC. Midas Safety Platform performs the FMEDA (Failure Mode Effects and Diagnostic Analysis) and helps achieve target ASIL for your automotive electronic devices.

The typical automotive ASIL classification is shown here:

The Cadence Midas Safety Platform provides an early-phase exploration of functional safety architectures and leverages native chip design data to perform accurate safety analysis efficiently. Midas integrates with Cadence Digital Design flow using the Unified Safety Format (USF) file, which captures the functional safety intent of the device.

Are you curious about how we can implement and verify functional safety in the Design? Here is the course “Functional Safety Implementation and Verification with Midas” which will clear all your concepts and queries.

After taking this course, you will be able to:

• Define the Functional Safety
• Compare the Safety and Functional Safety
• Demonstrate the Midas Safety Platform and its Features
• Explain the Midas integration with the Digital Design Implementation flow
• Define the safety intents to implement the functional safety
• Implementation of Safety Mechanisms in the Design
