MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.,
Sept. 30, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --
Highlights:
- DesignWare ARC EM22FS Processor meets stringent random hardware
fault detection and systematic functional safety development flow
requirements to achieve ISO 26262 ASIL D compliance
- The ARC Processor's integrated hardware safety features such as
dual-core lockstep, error-correcting code, and safety monitors,
facilitate chip-level safety certification
- ASIL D compliant DesignWare ARC MetaWare Toolkit for Safety
speeds development of ISO 26262 compliant software
Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS) today announced that the
DesignWare® ARC® EM22FS Functional Safety Processor has achieved
certification for full ISO 26262 automotive safety integrity level
(ASIL) D compliance, meeting both random hardware fault detection
and systematic functional safety development flow requirements. The
full compliance allows companies to accelerate development and
assessment of their automotive safety-critical SoCs for random and
systematic compliance per the ISO 26262 standard.
To meet stringent safety requirements, the ARC Functional Safety
Processor offers integrated safety-critical hardware features
including error-correcting code (ECC) for memories and interfaces,
transient fault protection for internal registers, diagnostic error
injection, and an integrated self-checking safety monitor.
"Synopsys' DesignWare ARC EM22FS Functional Safety Processor
full compliance is based on SGS-TÜV Saar's comprehensive assessment
of Synopsys' functional safety development flow in accordance with
the ISO 26262 standard," said Wolfgang
Ruf, head of Functional Safety for Semiconductors at SGS-TÜV
Saar. "Certification of Synopsys' ARC EM22FS Processor for ASIL D
random and systematic compliance confirms that the IP meets the
stringent safety-critical requirements of the automotive industry,
giving designer's confidence that they can reliably integrate the
IP and achieve compliance for their SoC designs."
The ASIL D compliant ARC EM22FS is a dual-core lockstep
processor IP based on the ultra-compact ARC EM Processor family.
The IP includes comprehensive safety documents such as failure
modes, effects and diagnostic analysis (FMEDA), Safety Manual,
Safety Case Report, ISO 26262 Functional Safety Assessment Report,
and other safety-related documents to accelerate the functional
safety analysis and certification of automotive SoCs. The ARC
Functional Safety Processor IP is developed based on the ISO 9001
certified Quality Management System (QMS) for Synopsys DesignWare
IP supporting additional automotive quality requirements. The ASIL
D compliant DesignWare ARC MetaWare Development Toolkit for Safety,
helps software developers accelerate the development of ISO 26262
compliant code. The ARC Functional Safety Processors combined with
Synopsys' essential interface and foundation IP solutions in
Synopsys' automotive ADAS reference design, helps jump-start
development of SoC designs for safety-critical applications.
"Preventing random hardware faults or systematic failures in
automobiles starts at the SoC level, which means that the IP that
is integrated into these chips must adhere to the ISO 26262
functional safety standard," said John
Koeter, senior vice president of marketing and strategy for
IP at Synopsys. "Being first to achieve full ISO 26262 ASIL D
compliance for the DesignWare EM22FS Processor underscores
Synopsys' commitment to helping designers achieve the highest
levels of quality, safety, security, and reliability for their
automotive SoCs while lowering design risk."
Availability
The DesignWare ARC EM22FS Functional Safety Processor and ARC
MetaWare Toolkit for Safety are available now.
