This article discusses the three most common reliability prediction techniques for the failure rates of ICs and how safety application notes provide such failure-rate information.
Failure modes, effects, and diagnostics analysis (FMEDA) is one of the available safety analysis tools that assesses safety-related system design against the requirements of a functional-safety standard like IEC 61508.
This article provides insights into the importance of an IC’s pin failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) to comply with functional-safety standards such as IEC 61508 and ISO 13849.
