The growing number of electronic systems, for example in vehicles, means a constantly increasing relevance of functional safety. Infineon fulfills the ISO 26262 for the development and design of appropriate products, especially for the automotive market.

The functional complexity and the integration level of real-time safety-critical applications continue to increase. Safety standards such as IEC 61508 and ISO 26262 mandate more robust products and functional safety concepts in industrial and automotive applications.

Our broad hardware portfolio includes sensors and microcontrollers, along with analog integrated circuits (ICs) and power management ICs that provide features that support SIL (safety integrity level). Features supporting SIL assist the overall system design in attaining the desired SIL (according to IEC 61508) or ASIL (automotive safety integrity level) (according to ISO 26262) level for safety systems with high efficiency.

An independent functional safety management organization supports the ISO 26262 safety lifecycle. Infineon’s PRO-SIL™ trademark designates Infineon products which contain features supporting SIL.
