TTTech Joins DO-254 Users Group.VIENNA, Austria -- TTTech Computertechnik AG, the leading supplier of products in the field of time-triggered systems, has become a member of the DO-254 Users Group to actively share and promote best practices in DO-254 design with a group of experts, tool vendors and aerospace companies. The DO-254 Users Group is an aerospace industry forum that maintains a set of best practices, methodologies, application notes and tools with DO-254 qualification kits. The DO-254 Users Group focuses on the application of DO-254 guidelines and implementation issues In the Business world, companies frequently set-up a connection between which they transfer data. When the connection is being set-up, it is referred to as implementation. When issues occur during this phase, they are known as implementation issues. in complex hardware designs using FPGAs, Hardware Description Languages (language) Hardware Description Language - (HDL) A kind of language used for the conceptual design of integrated circuits. Examples are VHDL and Verilog. (HDLs) and design tools. The objective of the DO-254 Users Group is to offer a set of best practices, methodologies, application notes and tools with DO-254 qualification kits. The DO-254 Users Group brings together major aerospace companies and leading tools suppliers. Among its members are such key players as Airbus, eurocopter, MBDA MBDA Minority Business Development Agency (US Department of Commerce) MBDA Michigan Broadband Development Authority MBDA Minnesota Band Directors Association MBDA Matra BAE Dynamics Alenia MBDA Magnolia Ballroom Dancers' Association , Thales, Hispano-Suiza, Dassault, Groupe Latecoere, Barco, and Sagem. Among the associated partners are TNI-Software, Mentor Graphics Mentor Graphics, Inc (NASDAQ: MENT) is a US-based multinational corporation dealing in electronic design automation (EDA) for electrical engineering and electronics, as of 2004, ranked third in the EDA industry it helped create. , Summit Design, Esterel Technologies Esterel Technologies is a worldwide supplier of model-based design, validation, and code generation tools for safety-critical software and hardware applications. Esterel’s tools create unambiguous specifications that produce correct-by-construction, automated implementation , TransEDA and, most recently, TTTech. "We very much appreciate the added value Added value in financial analysis of shares is to be distinguished from value added. Used as a measure of shareholder value, calculated using the formula:
TTTech belongs to the group of pioneering companies that started to actively apply the DO-254 design guidance to chip IP development. The DO-254 certification activities for the TTTech hardware are a result of the company's participation in various commercial programs with focus on more electric aerospace systems. "The implementation of best practices and lessons learned in the DO-254 Users Group is a key to the design of high-quality components at lower costs, thereby increasing competitiveness and shortening time-to-market," stated Mirko Jakovljevic, Aerospace Marketing Manager at TTTech, "Our experience in hardware component design using DO-254 will greatly contribute to the development of safe and fault-tolerant integrated systems in the aerospace industry." TTTech's Time-Triggered Protocol The Time-Triggered Protocol (TTP) was specifically designed to meet all requirements in connection with the implementation of fault-tolerant systems. TTP has its special focus on safety-critical high-speed applications. That results in low costs and a high protocol efficiency. (TTP TTP (thymidine triphosphate): see thymine. ([R])) is a key technology for tight digital integration of safety-critical systems in "more electric" aircraft. Communication controllers for TTP are developed with certification evidence in compliance with DO-254 objectives for the highest safety criticality requirements. austriamicrosystems' AS8202NF is the first time-triggered communication technology and TTP controller implementation with flight service history.
