Can it be used for projects that comply with functional safety standards?
In the functional safety standard (ISO26262), the response is determined according to the tool reliability level (TCL). Since Next Design is considered to fall under TCL1, we believe that Next Design can be used without the need for tool qualification by performing necessary and sufficient external testing on the final deliverables of the target product (e.g., programs) to detect errors.
The tool reliability level is determined as follows:
Indicator | Allocation | Rationale |
---|---|---|
Tool Impact (TI) | TI2 | As it handles design information, there is an impact from tool malfunctions |
Tool Error Detection (TD) | TD1 | By performing necessary and sufficient external testing on the target product, errors caused by tool malfunctions can be detected at a high level |
If TI2 and TD1, the tool reliability level is determined to be TCL1.
