We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "SIL", and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest. Let me be your guide.
Start with the news release Embedded software partnership improves safety from Esterel Technologies, which we summarised at the time by saying "AbsInt's aiT and StackAnalyser products allow the assessing of worst-case execution time and stack usage of embedded system code". A few weeks before, we featured the news release Transmitter/receiver handles long ranges from MK Consultants: "The GT2D is suited to applications requiring a high-integrity wireless connection or where multiple wireless connections are required at the same time".
In June 2007, we covered the news from Wittenstein high integrity systems concerning its SafeRTOS - take a look at RTOS is certified for safety-critical design which says: "SafeRTOS is a portable, miniature, pre-emptive IEC61508 SIL 3 compliant real-time kernel that is designed to be small, simple and easy to use".
Take a look also at the news release from Murata Power Solutions, Miniature convertors are big on safety, as well as Wide-range POL convertor tackles many tasks from Power-One, and Update for safety-critical application development from Esterel Technologies.
