B Distributed Developments

A Development Interface Agreement (DIA) is intended to capture the agreement between two parties towards the management of each party’s responsibilities related to the development of a functional safety system. TI functional safety components are typically designed for many different systems and are considered to be Safety Elements out of Context (SEooC) hardware components. The system integrator is then responsible for taking the information provided in the hardware component safety manual, safety analysis report and safety report to perform system integration activities. Because there is no distribution of development activities, TI does not accept DIAs with system integrators.

TI functional safety components are products that TI represents, promotes or markets as helping customers mitigate functional safety related risks in an end application and/or as compliant with an industry functional safety standard or FS-QM.
