Innovative Semiconductor Solutions for Safety Applications
Select a Subcategory
Safety electronics is one of the key drivers for reducing road fatalities. Today, it is not only the demands of customers, governments are also implementing legislation to achieve this goal.
In areas such as electric power steering the safety aspect can ideally be combined with reduction of fuel consumption/emissions reduction and improved overall energy efficiency of the car.
Infineon is one of the few broadband suppliers with products comprising intelligent sensors, 8-, 16-, 32-bit microcontrollers, along with automotive power standard products, application-specific standard products (ASSPs) and highly integrated customized application-specific ICs (ASICs).
This flexibility combined with our systems expertise, and with about four decades of experience in the automotive segment, allows us to support our customers by meeting their key challenges.
These challenges include further cost optimization, stringent quality requirements, and fulfilling future challenges in the safety market, such as meeting the safety integrity level requirements to come.
Typical Safety Configuration of CIC61508
Safety systems require an independent watchdog which implements a robust monitoring channel for main MCU supervision in ISO26262 and IEC61508-compliant safety applications.
Thanks to its small footprint, the
CIC61508 is a spacesaving and cost-effective option for supporting applications such as steering, braking, suspension, torque vectoring etc.
