AMD Unique Value Proposition
AMD has decades of proven success and experience across a wide variety of mission-critical industries and applications. Our customers choose our portfolio of FPGAs and SoCs for to enable:
- Configurability and increased performance at lower power
- Integration of complex and complete systems into a single device
- Reliability and long product life time
- Faster time to market
Certified Hardware and Software Design Tools
- Design and verification tools certified for use in Functional Safety applications
- Certified Compiler tools
- Functional Safety Certificate and Reports
- Functional Safety Package
Certified Methodologies & IPs
- Certified functional safety design methodologies enable integration of safety and non-safety functions in the same device
- Isolation Design Flow (IDF) and Vivado Isolation Verifier (VIV) / Isolation Verification Tools (IVT) provide a certified methodology to separate areas on a single device. Designs placed into these regions are physically isolated. The areas can be changed at any time without impacting other isolated regions, proven by the VIV/IVT tools (impact analysis)
- Certified Soft Error Mitigation (SEM) IP cores perform Single Event Upset (SEU) detection, correction, and classification for configuration memory. The cores utilize device primitives such as ICAP and FRAME_ECC to clock and observe the Readback CRC feature as part of the SEU detection function. For SEU correction, the IP cores perform the necessary operations to locate and correct errors. For SEU classification, the IP cores use AMD Essential Bits technology to further increase system availability.
Assessed Safety Concept Design
The Zynq™ 7000 SoC has been reviewed and assessed for on-chip redundancy by TuV Rheinland. This Safety Concept Design study states AMD technology can be used to create a single chip solution that will support 2 independent safety channels for SIL3 safety functions referencing IEC61508 Part2 Annex-E.

Functional Safety Working Group (FSWG) 2024
The AMD Functional Safety Working Group is an annual multi-day FREE event in North America and Europe that brings together AMD Industrial, Automotive and Avionics customers, academic representatives, Alliance Partners and certification authorities to discuss the latest Functional Safety solutions from AMD.
The AMD Functional Safety Working Group provides an excellent forum for participants to learn from AMD functional safety leaders and where attendees can connect with their functional safety peers in the industry. Attendees will develop a better understanding of industry’s safety requirements for today and tomorrow as well as learn about innovative and unique solutions coming from AMD.
The unique aspect about this working group is that an NDA is required. This allows AMD to present roadmap and detailed design information that would not normally be presented in such a forum. ALL PARTICIPANTS WILL REQUIRE A CURRENT NDA
The AMD Functional Safety Working Group events for 2024 will be held in two locations:
AMD Functional Safety Working Group 2024 China. Registration is now Open!
For 2024 we are excited to announce a Functional Safety Working Group Event will be held in Shanghai, China. This is a 1-day live event providing in-depth information on AMD’s functional safety solutions for ISO 26262, IEC 61508 & ISO 13849 applications.
FSWG China 2024
Location: Shanghai Marriot Hongqiao (Map)
Date: September 10, 2024
