A SOFTWARE SOLUTION FOR ASSESSING HARDWARE RELIABILITY FOR MISSION-CRITICAL APPLICATIONS
Resumo
This paper presents a LabVIEW-based program designed to test redundant hardware designs for critical applications. The program allows users to input various parameters and execute reliability calculations for different redundant models over time. This functionality enables the comparison of models and aids in selecting the architecture that best meets the project's reliability requirements. Key input parameters include the FPGA device family, operational altitude, and FPGA area occupied by the project's hardware. By providing detailed evaluations and graphical representations of reliability over time, this tool offers valuable insights for designers in choosing suitable devices and architectures for their projects.
