What is exactly "Safety"? A safety system should be defined as a
system that will not endanger human life or the environment. A
safety-critical system requires utmost care in their specification
and design in order to avoid possible errors in their
implementation that should result in unexpected system's behavior
during his operating "life." An inappropriate method could lead to
loss of life, and will almost certainly result in financial
penalties in the long run, whether because of loss of business or
because the imposition of fines. Risks of this kind are usually
managed with the methods and tools of the "safety engineering." A
life-critical system is designed to 9 lose less than one life per
billion (10 ). Nowadays, computers are used at least an order of
magnitude more in safety-critical applications compared to two
decades ago. Increasingly electronic devices are being used in
applications where their correct operation is vital to ensure the
safety of the human life and the environment. These application
ranging from the anti-lock braking systems (ABS) in automobiles, to
the fly-by-wire aircrafts, to biomedical supports to the human
care. Therefore, it is vital that electronic designers be aware of
the safety implications of the systems they develop. State of the
art electronic systems are increasingly adopting progr- mable
devices for electronic applications on earthling system. In
particular, the Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) devices are
becoming very interesting due to their characteristics in terms of
performance, dimensions and cost.
