SAFERTOS is a pre-certified safety RTOS for embedded systems developed by WHIS, a global safety systems company. It delivers superior performance and pre-certified dependability whilst utilizing minimal resources. SAFERTOS is delivered with a Design Assurance Pack (DAP), tailored specifically for the customer processor/compiler combination. This enables SAFERTOS to support a wide range of international development standards, including ISO 26262 ASIL D and IEC 61508 SIL 3 by TÜV SÜD, making it a trusted solution across multiple industries.
Functional Safety Compliant 32-bit dsPIC33A DSCs offer a range of integrated hardware safety features that help you develop safety-critical applications to meet the ISO 26262 (ASIL B) and IEC 61508 (SIL 2). By collaborating to integrate SAFERTOS with Microchip's dsPIC33AK128MC106 and dsPIC33AK512MPS512, engineers can develop highly safety-critical, high-performance embedded solutions, such as advanced sensor interfacing, digital power and motor control applications for the automotive and industrial markets. This combination ensures dependability for your real-time performance and full compliance with critical safety regulations. Download the demos today.
More specifically, SAFERTOS is designed to run seamlessly on the dsPIC33A (DSC 32-bit) core in the dsPIC33AK128MC106 and dsPIC33AK512MPS512 processors. These demos from WHIS empower developers to experience the performance of SAFERTOS firsthand.
