Hi,

What makes general TMS57xxx device family of Safety MCU based on ARM Cortex-R suitable for aerospace/avionics applications?
What makes this device family better suited for aerospace and avionics applications than RM46x / RM57x family?

Thank you.

Best regards,

    Hi Mario,

    TMS570 microcontrollers are designed with the capabilities to meet functional safety standard requirements as defined in the ISO 26262 and IEC 61508 standards. RM microcontrollers are designed with capabilities to meet functional safety requirements as defined in IEC 61508.

    These standards are the most generic functional safety standards and the collateral provided by TI can help a system designer address the specific functional safety requirements of other industry-specific safety standards, such as those for aerospace or avionics applications.

    The main differences between TMS570 and RM microcontrollers are that RM MCUs are Industrial Grade MCUs (not automotive AEC Q100 qualified) and support operation over an ambient temperature range from -40C to 105C (versus -40C to 125C for TMS570).

    Hope this helps. Let me know if you have other questions.

    Regards,
    Sunil

    Dear Sunil thank You for the answer.

    So, basically if I want to put a device in environment with expected small dose ionizing radiation like in a room with medical imaging device, radiation therapy or in a close proximity of device under test with Cobalt-60...
    - There would be no difference which device should I use or there is something that I'm missing?

    Yes, that is correct. Hercules MCUs (TMS570x or RM4x) have on-chip diagnostic mechanisms to detect faults that can be injected during exposure to radiation.
