[SystemSafety] ISO 26262 / IEC 61508 in the semiconductor industry

Interesting discussions regarding ISO 26262 / IEC 61508 at SemiWiki

"An obvious question is how this impacts EDA [electronic design 
automation] and other software tools. Rob said that the standard?s view on 
tools is to ask whether, if a tool fails in some manner, that can inject a 
failure into the device. Interestingly, this doesn?t just apply to tools 
creating or modeling design data. It applies just as much to MSWord for 
example; if a failure in that tool causes you to lose the last edit in a 
significant document, that falls just as much under the scope of the 
standard as an error in a simulation tool. The question then is whether 
you can mitigate/catch such failures. A design review to validate the 
design data/documentation against expectations meets the TCL1 level (tool 
confidence level). According to Rob, 80% of EDA tools fall into this 
category; in contrast, synthesis and test tools require a higher 
confidence level."
