Bottom-up verification proving that component-level electrical failures are cleanly contained by hardware safety interlocks.
Every electrical component (capacitors, diodes, MOSFET switches, microcontrollers) is analyzed across potential failure modes: open circuit, short circuit to ground, short to high voltage, or parameter drift outside tolerance.
FMEA outputs directly feed the basic event failure rates in the system fault trees, ensuring mathematical consistency across the entire ARP4761 safety assessment dossier submitted for civil type certification.
