The AMD Isolation Design Flow (IDF) is a design methodology that allows for Information Assurance, Functional Safety implementations, or any other application requiring both physical and logical isolation of its implemented modules. This methodology is backed by significant schematic analysis and software verification—AMD Vivado™ Isolation Verifier (VIV)—to ensure elimination of single points of failure. SCC is one specific application of IDF allowing the implementation of a multichip cryptography system in a single FPGA or SoC.
