ISO26262 Functional Safety - Evaluation of SPFM, LFM and PMHF using the FMEDA Method

What does the term Hardware Architecture Metrics mean? What is its significance in your Functional Safety Journey? How are they derived?

The video unveils answers to these questions, which often cross the minds of several automotive Product Engineering Teams.

We are referring to the teams, who are, trying to implement ISO 26262 mandated Functional Safety guidelines, in letter and Spirit. Yes, this Video Blog (Vlog) is for all such Automotive Functional Safety Enthusiasts.

An automotive ECU consists of numerous hardware components - viz. resistors, capacitors, MOSFETs etc.

In order to make the entire ECU fail-safe, as an engineer, you should have a clear understanding of how each of these components would behave in a scenario when certain fault occurs.

You also need to analyze the standard safety-mechanisms in place that are necessary to get back to the required “safe-state”, after certain fault has occurred.

To ensure all this, it is imperative to derive certain hardware metrics. And FMEDA is an industry-wide accepted method to derive the hardware metrics.

Here is the Textbook Definition of FMEDA: Failure Modes, Effects and Diagnostic Analysis (FMEDA) is a method for the quantitative analysis of random failure in hardware components, against various architecture and safety goal violations.

Why is FMEDA so important? Find out in this Functional Safety Video Blog (Vlog). The video gives an overview of the FMEDA method for the evaluation of Hardware Architecture Metrics.

However, if you wish to go into details of the FMEDA method, our webinar will of great help. Download the webinar here.
