During the development process for safety-critical designs, all precautions should be taken to prevent device failures from all foreseeable sources, including those due to poor design methods and ...

With the ever-increasing complexity and connectedness of product design, ensuring that the software on which end users depend is safe will continue to be a priority. Earlier this year, it was ...

An ever-increasing reliance on software control and the nature of the applications has led many companies to undertake safety-related analysis and testing. Consider the antilock braking and traction ...

Many of today's large, complex designs can contain thousands of lines of Verilog or VHDL code. Quite often, teams of engineers—with some members possibly situated in disparate locations worldwide—will ...
