  • Abstract
    The authors generalize the concept of fail-safe systems and introduce the concept of strongly fail-safe systems. As an application, they present an interface that can be implemented in MOS technologies. It transforms the outputs of self-checking systems into signals adequate to drive electromechanical actuators and such that the whole system (self-checking circuit and interface) is strongly fail-safe.<>
