Introduction

The system and equipment manufacturer or designer (as user of this document) is responsible to ensure that their systems (and any TI hardware or software components incorporated in their systems) meet all applicable safety, regulatory, and system-level performance requirements. All application and safety-related information in this document (including application descriptions, suggested safety measures, suggested TI products, and other materials) is provided for reference only. Users understand and agree that their use of TI components in safety-critical applications is entirely at their risk, and that user (as buyer) agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless TI from any and all damages, claims, suits, or expense resulting from such use.

This safety manual provides information to help system developers create safety-related systems using the supported TPS65381x-Q1 multirail power supply. This document contains:

  • An overview of the product architecture
  • An overview of the development process used to reduce systematic failures
  • An overview of the safety architecture for management of random failures
  • Assumptions of Use (AoU) that the system integrator may consider to use this part in an ISO26262-compliant system.
  • The details of architecture partitions, and implemented safety mechanisms

Separate documents provide the following information, not covered in this document:

  • Failure rates estimation
  • Qualitative failure analysis (design FMEA)
  • Quantitative failure analysis (quantitative FMEDA)
  • Safety metrics calculated per targeted standards per system example implementation

TI expects that the user of this document has a general familiarity with the TPS65381x-Q1 device. This document is intended to be used in conjunction with the pertinent data sheets and other documentation for the products under development. This partition of technical content is intended to simplify development, reduce duplication of content, and avoid confusion as compared to the definition of safety manual in IEC 61508:2010.
