During the HARA, the OEM assigns each identified potential hazard an Automotive Safety Integrity Level (ASIL) rating. The ASIL rating indicates the amount of risk reduction needed to increase confidence that the
Automotive ECUs power many of the safety-critical functions and features available in modern cars, includingadvanced driver assistance (ADAS),telematics, passive safety systems, engine management—to name a few. Functional Safety in Automotive: With the widespread adoption of modern au...
Learn about automotive hardware functional safety, its importance in preventing design failures and controlling random faults as defined by ISO 26262 standards.
Functional safety of a system or piece of equipment, such as functional safety in automotive, is essential for many industries. Learn how to use functional safety standards — such as IEC 61508 and ISO 26262 — to easily ensure the safety of your product
Background to the formulation of ISO 26262 automotive functional safety standard The fault* of a single part in an automobile could make it impossible to control the engine, operate the steering wheel, stop the vehicle or other malfunction and such a malfunction must not immediately lead to harm...

ISO 26262, titled “Road vehicles — functional safety”, is a functional safety standard used in the automotive industry, and ASIL/ASIL levels is a key component to determine safety requirements for software development. Complying with ISO 26262 is critical for automotive product development. OEMs...
ASPICE, or Automotive SPICE, applies this framework to the automotive industry, which comes with its own critical requirements. ASPICE differs from functional safety standards (namely, ISO 26262) in that it covers how design is conducted if safety is not a concern. To ensure effective safety pr...
4. Safety over EtherCAT Saves Wiring Costs and Time Another advantage of FSoE is you can replace much of the discrete safety wiring with a network cable. Manufacturers of rental and mobile machinery will benefit significantly from this. The design of the safety system is primarily done in the ...
I’ve written before about how the automotive industry adheres to functional safety (FS) as defined in the ISO 26262 standard, along with other SemiWiki bloggers. That standard certainly defines the What part of FS, however it doesn’t mandate how you meet the standard, what tools you should...
