10 Conclusion

Functional safety is an important consideration in developing high-reliability embedded systems. To help meet these safety standards, the Class B libraries inside of MCC provide a good starting point for the development of applications. Documents needed for functional safety certification, like the FMEDA, are also available from Microchip for most device families.
