Robustness, reliability and safety of end products are becoming ever more important. In some application segments these requirements are formalized and mandatory, while in others they are implemented to differentiate the product and change a good product into an excellent product. The standards for functional safety depend on the target market.
Automotive Safety Integrity Levels (ASIL) for electrical and electronic systems used in series production road vehicles, excluding mopeds
Safety Integrity Levels (SIL) for safety-critical electrical and electronic systems used in industrial applications
Safety standards for automatic controls in equipment designed to operate in households
When safety is critical to the success of your design, you can count on our proven experience to help you meet functional safety requirements while minimizing cost and development time. Our functional safety support includes functional safety compliant and functional safety ready products. These products encompass the latest hardware safety features and support collateral to help you achieve ISO 26262, IEC 61508 and IEC 60730 safety certification. Some devices are qualified as functional safety compliant, which means we followed the ISO 26262-compliant development process to design them.
We offer the following resources:
We implement a Functional Safety Management System that covers all levels up to and including ISO 26262’s Automotive Safety Integrity Level ASIL D and IEC 61508’s Safety Integrity Level 3 (SIL 3) and Systematic Capability 3 (SC 3). Our Functional Safety Management System has been certified by TÜV Rheinland.
Third-party tools, including benchmarking software and compliance management tools (LDRA), are also available for specific devices. The MPLAB XC compilers for functional safety include all the documentation and reports needed to have a fully qualified ISO 26262, IEC 61508, IEC 62304 and IEC 60730 development environment. These packages now include classification documents.

Our FPGA functional safety design flow simplifies and accelerates safety certifications supporting IEC 61508 and ISO 26262. Our Flash FPGAs are an excellent platform to meet the established standards for safety and reliability requirements. You can use the following FPGA families with Libero® SoC Design Suite for compliance with IEC 61508 up to SIL 3 and ISO 26262 up to ASIL D.
We designed the functional safety packet to assist with IEC 61508 and ISO 26262 certifications. It includes:
Organize, write, test and debug your embedded software applications in the MPLAB X IDE.
Build your embedded software with the TÜV SÜD-certified MPLAB XC8 Pro Functional Safety Compiler.
MPLAB Analysis Tool Suite offers a code coverage feature and a Motor Industry Software Reliability Association (MISRA®) check in the IDE.
Explore our comprehensive selection of hardware and software development tools to accelerate your application development with FPGAs and SoCs.
Our third-party partners also offer safety-certified compilers and tools supporting many of our products.
Whether you are new to functional safety or a seasoned expert, your safety development and certification can be often be accelerated by involving functional safety design partners early in your project. Our Functional Safety Design Partners have demonstrated their knowledge of functional safety and can assist you with developing projects according to the requirements specified in the ISO 26262, IEC 61508 and IEC 60730 standards.
