Functional Safety
6. Functional Safety
This chapter describes the Functional Safety (FuSa) detection features that are unique to
GIC-600AE.
6.1 Safety Mechanism overview
GIC-600AE is a version of GIC-600 with FuSa detection features added. Logic Equivalence Checking
(LEC) is used to ensure that the original GIC-600 logic is unchanged. All FuSa features are “bolted
on” to the periphery of GIC-600 and do not alter the original GIC-600 functionality.
The following figure shows where the main Safety Mechanisms of GIC-600AE reside.
