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.
Functional Safety Standards
ISO 26262: Functional Safety for Automotive Applications
ASIL
Automotive Safety Integrity Levels (ASIL) for electrical and electronic systems used in series production road vehicles, excluding mopeds
IEC 61508: Functional Safety for Industrial Applications
SIL
Safety Integrity Levels (SIL) for safety-critical electrical and electronic systems used in industrial applications
IEC 60730: Functional Safety Standard for Household Appliances
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:
- AEC-Q100-qualified silicon with specialized hardware safety features
- Failure Modes, Effects and Diagnostic Analysis (FMEDA) report to quantify the device’s fault modes via Failure-In-Time (FIT) rate distribution
- Functional Safety Manual that provides recommendations on how the device should be used for the safest operation
- TÜV SÜD-certified MPLAB® XC functional safety compilers and third-party-certified compiler support for a fully qualified and complete development environment
- ISO 26262-, IEC 61508- and IEC 60730-compliant diagnostic software libraries for select product families
- Functional safety collateral including pin FMEA, Dependent Failure Analysis (DFA) and other documentation for some product families
Certified Functional Safety Management System
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.
Functional Safety Product Portfolio
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.
