The adoption of such safety mechanism is therefore highly recommended despite their minor contribution to the
safety metrics to reach the required safety integrity level. Refer to
Section 3.6.7 Reset and clock controller
for detailed safety mechanisms description.
4.2.3
DMA
The
DMA
function can be involved in data transfers operated by most of the peripherals. Failures of
DMA
can
interfere with the behavior of the system peripherals or
Application software
, leading to dependent failures. The
adoption of the following safety mechanisms is therefore highly recommended (refer to
memory access controller (DMA/ DMA2D/ DMAMUX))
for description):
•
DMA_SM_0
•
DMA_SM_1
•
DMA_SM_2
Note:
Only DMA_SM_0 must be implemented if DMA is not used for data transfer.
4.2.4
Internal temperature
The abnormal increase of the internal temperature is a potential source of dependent failures, as it can affect
many
MCU
parts. The following safety mechanism mitigates this potential effect (refer to
VSUP_SM_3: the internal temperature read and check allows the user to quickly detect potential risky conditions
before they lead to a series of internal failures.
