Microchip Technology Functional Safety Solutions
Microchip Technology Functional Safety Solutions offer robustness, reliability, and safety to end-products. In some application segments, these requirements are formalized and mandatory, while in others, they are implemented to differentiate the product and take the step from a good product to an excellent product. The standards for functional safety depend on the market that is targeted. Many standards support multiple levels of rigorousness, which are applied depending on the likelihood and severity of the hazard. The methods of addressing hazards range from detecting single failures and putting the system into a safe state to full redundancy, where failures should not only be detected but also corrected without any interruption or degradation of service.
Functional Safety Ready
A product that contains the “Functional Safety Ready” designation has been carefully selected as one that encompasses the latest features and support collateral available from Microchip, including integrated safety features, safety manuals, FMEDA reports, and, in some cases, diagnostic software. Certain products also have qualified development tools, including TÜV SÜD-certified MPLAB® XC Compiler Licenses for Functional Safety for microcontroller (MCU) devices.
Development Tool Ecosystem
Microchip offers a TÜV SUD-certified design tool package that supports all PIC®, dsPIC®, AVR®, and SAM devices to make tool qualification efforts easier. The MPLAB XC Compiler Licenses for functional safety include all of the documentation and reports needed to have a fully qualified ISO 26262, IEC 61508, IEC 62304, and IEC 60730 development environment. The documentation package includes TÜV SUD certificates for all three standards, a functional safety manual for the chosen functional safety compiler version, safety plan, and tools classification, and qualification reports for MPLAB XC compilers, MPLAB X Integrated Development Environment (IDE), and all MPLAB debugger/programmers.
The combination of the new TÜV SÜD-certified MPLAB XC Compiler licenses, plus the diagnostic power of the MPLAB Code Coverage tool, simplifies functional safety certification when using MCUs and Digital Signal Controllers (DSCs) that are designed with functional safety in mind.
