STMicroelectronics has published a safety manual and FMEDA document that helps streamline ISO 26262 functional-safety certification up to ASIL-B for systems containing its STM8AF automotive microcontrollers.
With valuable features including CAN and LIN drivers, touch-sense/LCD-control capability, ST’s AEC-Q100 qualified STM8AF series is designed for body and infotainment applications such as seat adjusters, instrumentation, and lighting controllers. Tier 1 equipment suppliers now tend to design these systems to meet ISO 26262 functional-safety standards at ASIL2 A or B. ST’s new STM8A-SafeASIL safety tools show designers how best to work with the microcontroller to achieve the desired safety integrity level, thereby helping ensure successful certification.
