The 'Totals - ISO26262' tab contains the results of the chip level FMEDA metrics
based on the selections in the previous tabs. This tab summarizes the metrics as described by the
ISO 26262 functional safety standard. The top table breaks out the overall FIT and diagnostic
coverage for permanent faults of the die, transient faults of the die, package faults, and finally
the overall sum of faults for each row. The following information is
provided:
- Total FIT (Raw FIT): The total base failure rate of the
device using the described base FIT model under the environmental conditions input in the 'Mission
Profile Tailoring' tab.
- Safety related FIT: A subset of the total FIT that
includes only the design blocks or device pins that are indicated as safety related on the 'Pin
Level Tailoring' and 'Function and Diag Tailoring' tabs.
- Probabilistic Metrics
for random Hardware Failures (PMHF) (in FIT): The selection of diagnostics in the 'Pin Level
Tailoring' and 'Function and Diag Tailoring' tabs directly impact this
percentage.
- Single Point Fault Metric - SPFM: The percentage coverage for
detecting or preventing single point faults.
- Latent Fault Metric - LFM: The
percentage coverage for detecting or preventing latent faults.
There are also some intermediate calculations based on the terms in the ISO 26262
standard:
- Total faults (λ)
- Total safety related
faults (λSR)
- Total non safety related faults
(λnSR)
- Total safe faults
(λS)
- Total not safe faults
(λnS).
- Total faults with prob. of violate the SG
(λPVSG)
- Total single point faults
(λSPF)
- Total residual faults (λRF)
- Total multi point (primary) [non-PVSG]
(λMPFPrimary)
- Total multi point (secondary) [PVSG]
(λMPFSecondary)
- Total multi point detected faults
(λMPF_det)
- Total multi point latent faults
(λMPF,l)
The concept of perceived faults is not applicable at the semiconductor level since
the fault detection ability of the driver cannot be considered at this level of
analysis.
