Supporting safety and assurance in designs requires more than traditional functional verification.
Supporting safety and assurance in designs, such as the chips used in industrial, aerospace and defense applications, requires more than traditional functional verification. Even if every bug is found and fixed before release, these applications have additional requirements for functional safety. They must be able to handle a variety of faults and induced errors, either by correcting them or by detecting them and taking appropriate measures such as safe shutdown or reset. Several industry standards include strong requirements for functional safety; semiconductor suppliers and systems manufacturers must meet these to have viable products.
