Until recently, Markov models and analytical methods were fairly obscure mathematical techniques rarely applied outside of academic settings. The advent of functional safety standards, particularly ...

Based on the foundational IEC 61508 standard’s essential requirements, high-performance supervisory circuits can facilitate functional-safety compliance in safety instrumented systems and other ...

Many industrial applications in the automotive, automation, appliance, or medical sectors require power supplies that comply with functional safety standards. If the input voltage of such a power ...

Failure rate or base failure rate refers to the number of failures per unit of time, typically in terms of failures in time (FITs) equivalent to one failure in a billion hours, which can be expected ...
