Designing safe and reliable automotive applications to ensure passenger safety is critical. To meet these rigorous safety requirements, we offer a broad portfolio of functional safety-ready 32-bit microcontrollers (MCUs) that include the latest hardware safety features and all the safety collateral to help achieve ISO 26262 Automotive Safety Integrity Level (ASIL) B safety certification.
Our 32-bit MCUs are used as a Safety Element out of Context (SEooC). Our Functional Safety Manual has all the Assumptions of Use (AoUs) to use these devices safely.
You can also achieve higher levels of safety with ASIL Decomposition as described below.
Our AEC-Q100 Grade 1- and Grade 2-qualified 32-bit MCUs come with the following resources to simplify safety certification of your automotive designs:
The 32-bit MCU functional safety diagnostic code and collateral are compatible with our MPLAB® Harmony Plus-enabled devices.These devices have unique Customer Part Numbers (CPNs) and include a licensing agreement and a complete set of safety collateral.
For example, if you would like to use the ATSAMV70Q20B-CBT device in a functional safety application, you would purchase the ATSAMV70Q20B-CBT-SL3, which includes the following collateral:
A Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) is required for the safety collateral, however, the certifications listed above do not require an NDA. Please use the links in the Need Some Help section lower down on this page to request more information about these products and the NDA process.
Certifications and compliance are critical in functional safety applications. Our 32-bit MCUs come with the following certifications.

When you are designing functional safety applications, using development tools that meet the requirements of safety standards can make it easier for you to create compliant systems. To help you with implementing system-level functional safety in your applications, our MPLAB XC C compilers are TÜV SÜD-certified for several functional safety standards. We also provide the complete certification packages for our MPLAB development tools ecosystem to help you qualify your projects.
Organize, write, test and debug your embedded software applications in MPLAB X IDE.
Build your embedded software with the TÜV SÜD-certified MPLAB XC32 Pro Functional Safety Compiler.
Verify and document your software test coverage with the MPLAB Code Coverage tool.
You can typically achieve higher safety levels through ASIL decomposition and hardware redundancy.
ASIL C = ASIL B(C) + ASIL A(C)
ASIL D = ASIL B(D) + ASIL B(D), where you can combine two different 32-bit MCUs to achieve ASIL C or ASIL D safety levels
