TTP provides all benefits releated to time-triggered networking technology and focuses on safety-critical applications and distributed hard real-time control systems.

COTS Solution for Design of Critical Systems and Platforms

TTP offers system health monitoring, fault isolation and detection and supports distributed embedded computing for hard real-time fault-tolerant systems.

All of the mentioned services used for fault-tolerant distributed computing and networking are implemented on a single DO-254/DO-178B Level A certified TTP controller chip as part of the communication protocol. With DO-178B Level A embedded COTS software, qualified design verification tools and 3rd party model-based application development tool interfaces used in production programs, TTP represents a complete certifiable solution for design of advanced integrated control systems.

Safety

Safety has always been a top priority for TTP. TTP specification has been publicly available since 2001 and subject to extensive examinations. Leading universities and research centers, such as Standford Research International (SRI), University of Ulm, University of York, University of Paris, and Vienna University of Technology, accomplished the formal verification of TTP. Real tests with millions of faults, heavy ion radiation experiments, and experiments with electromagnetic interferences were also carried out successfully. Due to this rigorous safety approach, TTP is used in several production programs.

Availability, Longevity and Standardization

Tools, controllers, middleware and testing equipment have been used in production programs since 2002.

TTP communication protocol and physical layer are in process of standardization at SAE as SAE AS6003. This will guarantee broad ecosystem of product and service providers, protect system investments and reduce program risks.

TTA-Group members have right on royalty-free licences of TTP IP. FPGA IP and ASICs are available on the market.
