AMD EM-DI-SAFETY-SITE

Overview

EM-DI-SAFETY-SITE from Xilinx is a site license for the certified functional safety design flow solution supporting IEC 61508, ISO 26262, and DO-254/DO-178B compliance. It includes access to ISE Design Suite 14.7 tools, Safety Manual UG990, SEM diagnostic IP, Isolation Design Flow (IDF) methodology, IVT verification tools, and one year of real-time updates. It enables FPGA-based safety-critical system development in industrial, automotive, and aerospace applications.

For engineers reviewing the EM-DI-SAFETY-SITE datasheet, EM-DI-SAFETY-SITE application, EM-DI-SAFETY-SITE equivalent, or EM-DI-SAFETY-SITE licensing terms, this product delivers TÜV SÜD-certified documentation, tool qualification evidence, fault-mitigation IP, and isolation verification capabilities required for functional safety certification projects using Xilinx 7-series and earlier FPGAs.

Technical Context

The EM-DI-SAFETY-SITE license enables use of ISE Design Suite 14.7 with qualified features including PlanAhead, ISim, XST Synthesis, Power Optimization, Partial Reconfiguration, Design Preservation, CORE Generator, iMPACT, and Isolation Design Flow - all documented in UG632, UG626, UG687, UG733, UG702, UG748, and UG747. Certification covers Logic, Embedded, and DSP Editions.

It provides access to Functional Safety system IP including Soft Error Mitigation (SEM) core (PG036), ChipScope Pro Serial I/O Toolkit (UG029), and the Xilinx SEU FIT-Rate Calculator (v1.2g), along with safety guidelines aligned to IEC 61508 and ISO 26262 in UG990.

FAQ

What is the scope of certification covered by EM-DI-SAFETY-SITE?

EM-DI-SAFETY-SITE provides access to TÜV SÜD-certified documentation and tool qualification evidence for ISE Design Suite 14.7, covering IEC 61508 SIL 3, ISO 26262 ASIL D, DO-254 Level A, and DO-178B Level A. The certification applies specifically to the listed tools and methodologies-not to hardware devices-and supports FPGA families up to 7-series.

Does EM-DI-SAFETY-SITE include hardware or only software and documentation?

EM-DI-SAFETY-SITE is a software and documentation license only. It does not include physical hardware, FPGA devices, or evaluation boards. It grants full access to certified safety tools, IP cores (e.g., SEM), safety manuals (UG990), and real-time updates for one year-intended for integration into customer FPGA development environments.

Which FPGA families are supported under the EM-DI-SAFETY-SITE license?

EM-DI-SAFETY-SITE supports Xilinx FPGA families compatible with ISE Design Suite 14.7, including Spartan-6, Virtex-5, Virtex-6, and early 7-series devices. It does not support UltraScale or Versal families, which require Vivado-based safety solutions not included in this license.

Can EM-DI-SAFETY-SITE be used for ISO 26262 ASIL D automotive projects?

Yes, EM-DI-SAFETY-SITE includes TÜV SÜD-certified evidence and safety documentation explicitly qualified for ISO 26262 ASIL D development. This includes UG990 guidelines, IDF/IVT methodology, and SEM IP-all validated for use in automotive safety mechanisms when applied to supported FPGA families.

Is the Xilinx SEU FIT-Rate Calculator included with EM-DI-SAFETY-SITE?

Yes, the Xilinx SEU FIT-Rate Calculator (v1.2g) is included as part of the EM-DI-SAFETY-SITE safety package. It is delivered as a standalone spreadsheet-not integrated into ISE-and assists designers in estimating soft error failure-in-time rates for safety analysis in accordance with IEC 61508 Part 2 Annex D and ISO 26262 Part 5 Annex D.
