The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is a worldwide federation responsible for preparing international standards. ISO 26262 is the international standard for functional safety of electrical and/or electronic systems in road vehicles. It is an adaptation of the IEC 61508 industrial safety standard that aims to mitigate risks associated with malfunctioning electrical/electronic systems in road vehicles to acceptable levels. ISO 26262 also focuses on managing and tracking safety requirements and ensuring standardized safety procedures in design, validation, testing and verification.
Our broad portfolio of ISO 26262 functional safety ready and functional safety compliant devices encompasses the latest hardware safety features and a comprehensive safety ecosystem to simplify the design and certification of automotive safety-critical applications. Some devices are qualified as functional safety compliant, which means they were designed by following the ISO 26262-compliant development process. We offer:
- Specialized hardware safety features to achieve safety goals
- Failure Modes, Effects and Diagnostic Analysis (FMEDA) report
- Safety manual
- Functional safety diagnostic libraries
- Safety collateral support, including pin FMEA, Dependent Failure Analysis (DFA) and other documents for some product families
- MPLAB® development ecosystem with TÜV SÜD-certified MPLAB XC C compilers
We implement a TÜV Rheinland-certified Functional Safety Management System that covers up to and including ISO 26262’s Automotive Safety Integrity Level ASIL D.
