Abstract

  This technical report describes the very detailed design process, the verification process and the safety validation process of a safety-related electronic control system to be implemented mainly into an ASIC. The report aims to support the system designer team as well as the safety assessment team. In addition, this report is the fundamental basis of the Nordtest method “Validation of safety-critical functions realized with hardware description language” for conformity assessment of safetyrelated functions implemented partly in digital circuits.
