4.4.10-3-7 Ensure that specific major design architecture and design requirements are addressed Phase A | Phase B | Phase C | Ensure key functional requirements defined at SDR; all requirements complete (with no more than minor TBDs) by PDR; and, ensure that the VRCM specifies appropriate verification method(s) for each requirement. Update any requirements and VCRM change status prior to CDR. Major design architecture and design requirements should include operating modes; processing requirements; interface definitions (signal, voltage, timing, data formats, protocols); storage requirements; data flow requirements (data transfer rates, computational throughput, latency); telemetry accuracy and resolution requirements; power-on/off characteristics; non-volatile memory/state retention; fault detection and response; reliability, single-point-failure probability, and fault-tolerance requirements.
