5.2 System-level Software Safety Requirements

Microchip system knowledge and experience were used in determining the Software Safety Requirements (SWSR) for the compliance items specified in this section. The list of software requirements in the table below represents a superset of software requirements that shall be considered by the System Integrator when using the device for a specific application.

Note: Some of the software described may or may not be available from Microchip. Although this document uses explicit function names, they are mainly intended as placeholders.

It is the responsibility of the System Integrator to check the compliance of the final application with these assumptions.

AoU-12The System Integrator’s selected safety mechanisms are performed by the application code as suggested in the safety mechanisms.
AoU-13The System Integrator’s application code monitors the status registers periodically or continuously as described in the safety mechanisms to detect and act upon fault conditions and return to a safe state.
