This paper introduces the architecture of the power supply in order to achieve the safety integrity target for power supply which is a part of safety related system. The integrity level for safety is set 4 and according to the IEC 62425 which is standard for railway application the architecture design is conducted and process for design is developed. The procedure for design consists with 6 steps. The architecture of power supply that is able to keep the safety integrity against of failure of power supply is derived through the analysis and it is suggested that the power supply adopted the result in this paper is suitable to apply in safety system. Also, the failure frequency that is a quantitative value for the power supply is proposed.
