Improve Industrial Functional-Safety Compliance with Voltage Supervisors (Part 1) (Download)
Compliance to functional safety is usually considered in safety-critical applications across various industries1 where failures can inflict harm to people, properties, and environment. Product designers certify their designs to functional-safety standards so that their customers have confidence to use their products, to market their products in countries with safety regulations, and to lead the functional-safety market trend.
This article highlights the value of high-performance supervisory circuits2 in enhancing compliance with functional-safety standards like IEC 61508.3 In addition, it’s the first in a series discussing industrial functional-safety compliance in relation to these circuits.
