Industrial Safety Self-Test Library

IEC 61508 is an international standard for functional safety of Electrical, Electronic, and Programmable Electronic (E/E/PE) systems. It defines functional safety as part of the overall safety relating to an Equipment Under Control (EUC) or system. The EUC can be as simple as a switch or as complex as a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). IEC 61508 encompasses four different Safety Integrity Levels (SILs), with SIL 1 having the lowest level and SIL 4 having the highest level of safety in E/E/PE systems.

We offer an SIL Self-Test Library (STL) for our 32-bit microcontrollers (MCUs) that was developed with our partner, embeX GmbH. This library is certified up to SIL 2 for a single MCU or single channel. The STL is part of an overall safety package that also includes a Safety Manual as well as a Safety Checklist to provide you with a solid foundation on which to build a system certified to the IEC 61508 Industrial Safety Standard.

Achieving Higher Safety Levels

For many functional safety applications, redundancy or a dual-channel solution can be created for implementing a higher safety level for SIL 3. For example, two MCUs using the SIL 2 STL can be used to achieve SIL 3 in an overall system.

The SIL 2/3 STL provides the following advantages:

  • Application independent for use in any simple to complex design
  • Certification by TÜV Rhineland, a recognized certification body
  • Compiler-independent object code for design flexibility
  • Software-based library to detect random hardware failures in the Arm® Cortex® M0+ core, Flash memory and SRAM
  • Diagnostic tests that are executed at startup and at run-time
  • Fault insertion tests to verify operation of the self-test diagnostic routines
  • Thoroughly tested diagnostic functions based on the device‘s architecture and available features to reduce development time
  • Reduced time and costs in certifying the end system/application

SIL 2/3 STL Licensing and Evaluation

The SIL 2/3 STL is available as an evaluation license with a development kit or as a full production license for the SAM D21 and SAM L21 safety-enabled devices. These devices have a  “-SLL” suffix at the end of the part number, for example: ATSAMD21J18A-AU-SLL. To request additional information, please contact your local Microchip Sales Office.

Components Covered by the SIL 2/3 STL

The following elements are tested by the Self-Test Library with a Diagnostic Coverage (DC) of ≥ 90%:

  • Program Memory (ROM)
  • Data Memory (RAM)
  • RAM Address Lines
  • Stack
  • Core-Register
  • OpCodes
  • Special Function Register (SFR)

32-Bit Industrial Safety SIL Microcontrollers

More SAM D21 and SAM L21 devices can be added to the SIL 2/3 STL in addition to the base devices listed below and in the datasheet. Please contact your local Microchip Sales Office .
