Summary

Increasing machine and human collaboration and interaction is driving increased needs for functional safety. As such, component-level needs are increasing and SoC architectures are therefore evolving. Processor vendors play a key role in supporting the demanding needs of new products, approaching safety from the ground up and offering innovative and flexible architectures, as well as a support infrastructure to enable system-level certifications. TI is a leader in delivering processing solutions for applications demanding functional safety, and the DRA82x Jacinto and AM24x Sitara families continue that trend.
