Functional safety is the absence of unreasonable risk due to hazards caused by failures or unintended behaviors of electrical and electronic systems. Memory and architecture vendors are working with automotive manufacturers to achieve ISO 26262 and ASIL-D compliances, integrating components while reducing complexity and cost.

Automotive Safety Integrity Level (ASIL) is a risk classification scheme defined by ISO 26262, the safety standard for electronic devices in the automobile. With the ever-increasing number of electronic devices enabling systems to take on more control of vehicles, designing for safety becomes an even greater requirement. In this talk, Micron system architect Steffen Buch discusses the factors driving our customers’ requirements for memory solutions and strategies for them to address this critical requirement.
Micron is leading the charge to build safety into silicon to enable the autonomous vehicle ecosystem.
With the evolution of advanced driver-assisted systems (ADAS) functionality and fully autonomous vehicles, there must be a focus on solutions that achieve the requisite ASIL safety level and certify significant attention / focus on avoiding systematic faults. The ecosystem of OEMs, Tier 1s, and component developers is adopting the ISO 26262 standard across the complex automotive supply chain.
Achieve full compliance to a given ASIL level by including the ISO 26262 requirements of your product’s lifecycle. Select Micron safety-optimized products include innovative features to help you achieve aggressive FIT targets / ASIL levels.
This report summarizes results of Micron’s product failure modes, effects, and diagnostic analysis (FMEDA) procedure on our products. It’s an addendum to the Safety Application Note.
To facilitate integration of a Quality Management product this includes product use cases, top-level safety requirements, failure modes, safe states and constraints, assumptions of use, etc.
Micron evaluates the product as a Class III hardware element and supports the customer with an alternative means to demonstrate compliance with ISO 26262-5. Download an excerpt of the hardware evaluation report. The full report is available by request under NDA.
