efforts directly im- fault and respond to minimize impact pact time to market and can often have drastic impact on project costs Recertification for product updates often becomes a reason to delay or a rationale for skipping design updates altogether To help ease the functional safety design process, SafeTI™ design packages from Texas Instruments (TI) for functional safety help solve these issues by easing the design and certification process for designers and allow the engineering and marketing teams’ to focus on delivering successful, differentiated products SafeTI™ design packages speed functional safety designs and certification To help designers more easily achieve industry standards, such as IEC 61508, IEC 60730 and ISO 26262, TI’s new SafeTI design packages can help accelerate design and certification in areas such as industrial, transportation, energy and medical This functional safety platform augments TI’s 20+ years of safety-critical design expertise and includes design packages with analog companion devices and embedded processors – from microcontrollers to digital signal processors – as well as software, supporting documentation and independent third-party evaluation and certification All SafeTI functional safety-enabled embedded processing and analog semiconductor devices include components offered as part of TI’s broad product portfolio and are tested to work Texas Instruments together in a system These SafeTI™ hardware components allow designers of safety systems to more easily meet their safety goals without using multiple channels or vendors of system-level hardware But it doesn’t stop with the hardware SafeTI design packages include five key components for functional safety: Functional safety-enabled semiconductor components developed as safety-standard-compliant items to help enable designers to build safe systems with confidence Safety documents, tools and software to decrease development and certification time SafeTI documents include a Safety Manual, detailing product safety architecture and recommended usage; Safety Analysis Report including details of safety analysis and Safety Report, summarizing compliance to targeted standards Complementary embedded processing and analog components work together to help designers meet safety standards Quality manufacturing process has been applied to help assure that SafeTI components meet the component-level requirements concerning ISO 9001 or ISO/TS 16949 (including AEC-Q100 for automotive), helping enable the customer to deliver robust solutions Safety development process that follows ISO 26262, IEC 61508 and IEC 60730 requirements, which is assessed by auditors as prescribed by safety standards Meeting stringent industry safety standards International functional safety standards are defined to ensure that functional safety techniques are detailed for a specific industry sector and that these techniques are consistently applied IEC 61508 is a basic safety standard, which is the basis of all IEC and some ISO functional safety standards It is used as a basis for sector-specific standards but where these not yet exist, it is also intended for direct use Some standards that refer to IEC 61508 include: • EN 50128 – railway • IEC 60601 – medical equipment • IEC 61511 – process industry • ISO 13849/ IEC 62061 – industrial machinery • IEC 60880 – nuclear power industry • IEC 50156 – furnaces For these specific industry standards, SafeTI-61508 design packages for functional safety include component-level-compliance to IEC 61508:2010, which supports SIL levels from SIL-1 to SIL-3 and system level compliance to SIL-4 The above standards can be daunting, but the SafeTI™ functional safety design Accelerating motor control design for functional safety October 2012 Texas Instruments package provides confidence to tackle stringent safety requirements and ease the design and certification process Automotive designers can use SafeTI-26262 design packages for component-level compliance to ISO 26262 safety requirements to support ASIL-A to ASIL-D for applications such as steering, braking, transmission, electric vehicle battery management and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) TI is a member of U.S and international working groups for ISO 26262 Designers for household appliances can use SafeTI-60730 design packages to meet IEC 60730, or related standards UL 1998 and IEC 60335 SafeTI-60730 design packages for functional safety include software certified to IEC 60730 for household appliances supporting Class A to Class C Development tools and software for SafeTI design packages As part of the SafeTI design packages, several development tools and software pieces are available to further ease the design and certification process: • Safety-enabled hardware supports standards-based, safety integrity levels (SIL) enabling designers to build systems with confidence • Safety documents decrease development and certification time • Compilers for safety: The SafeTI ARM Compiler Qualification Package establishes confidence in development tools The kit will help designers document, analyze, validate and qualify use of the TI ARM compiler to help meet the requirements of the ISO 26262 and IEC 61508 standards • GUI-based peripheral configuration tools: SafeTI HALCoGen graphical user interface works to configure peripherals, interrupts, clocks and other µC parameters and generates peripheral and driver code Developers can use this to accelerate development on new projects and can import this into TI’s Code Composer Studio™ integrated development environment (IDE) v.5 and select third-party IDEs • MCAL and Safe AutoSAR for ISO 26262: Designers can get the Microcontroller Abstraction Layer (MCAL) 4.0 from TI and Safe Automotive Open System Architecture (AutoSAR) from TTTech/Vector ISO 26262 AutoSAR support is available from Vector and Elektrobit • Certifiable RTOS Support for IEC 61508: Real-time operating system support is available from Wittenstein High Integrity System’s SAFERTOS, Micrium’s µC/OS, Express Logic’s ThreadX and SCIOPTA RTOS Integrating safety in motor control systems A typical motor control system block diagram consists of processing feedback from motor rotor sensors, as well as measuring voltages and currents from the inverter (strategically and deterministically), and then processing this data to be used as inputs to regulate compensation of torque, speed and position control loops to finally generate an appropriate pulse-width modulator (PWM) output to the inverter (Figure on the following page) These closed loops are standard and depend on a great number of components, both hardware Accelerating motor control

checks and software TI’s embedded processors in the SafeTI design package (in this case, microcontrollers) support functional safety throughout these processes When measuring the inverter voltages and currents, designers must know if the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is both functional and producing correct results A common technique connects a PWM output to an ADC input through a filter The full-scale ADC range can then be tested Some TI microcontrollers even integrate a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) to serve this purpose One method to gain safety coverage is to have multiple ADCs converting the same control signals This allows a comparison to occur on the actual signal used in the control process Because many SafeTI MCUs provide multiple ADCs, the same sensor signal can be converted with two separate ADCs, thus reducing common cause failures Knowing the motor’s exact rotor position is critical to most motor systems For safety-critical systems using a resolver, encoder or hall sensor, TI provides software that estimates the rotor angle to compare to the angle measured by the electro-mechanical sensor Microcontrollers in SafeTI design packages include safety features in the hardware (Figure on the following page) versus software to provide the performance headroom to easily include these “self-sensing” angle-estimation routines This capability, having two separate and diverse channels to obtain the motor’s rotor angle, can enable the designer the option to reduce system costs by replacing a more expensive SIL-3 resolver or encoder with a standard version The next step is processing these signals As the leader of commercial lock-step microcontroller architectures, SafeTI microcontrollers provide cycle-by-cycle diagnostics for the CPU While two CPUs execute

these CPUs is checked by a single-bit error correcting and double-bit error detecting (SECDED) error code correction controller (ECC) To extend coverage further, both the CPU and memory have hardware BIST (builtin self test) to verify functionality at start up Embedded diagnostics also include self-test capability to ensure proper operation before start of safety-critical operation With the processing now complete, the next step is to output appropriate PWMs to the inverter These outputs can be verified by connecting them to input captures SafeTI microcontrollers provide extra input captures for this purpose with eCAP and high-end timer modules To get more system coverage, a designer can connect the motor phases to the input captures, using appropriate signal conditioning, to verify that the transitions are within expectations Industrial, medical and energy functional safety motor c ontrol SafeTI design packages The latest microcontrollers introduced as new SafeTI-61508
