Many industries need functional safety certification, but certification is usually a time consuming and expensive process. Certification also needs to be widely used for the use of specific development tools, unless the tool itself has passed the certification of authoritative functional safety professional institutions, such as TÜV SÜD certification bodies in Munich, Germany. Microchip Technology Inc. (US Micro-core Technology Co., Ltd.) has recently announced that its MPLAB® XC compiler has obtained TÜV SÜD functionality security certification, which will greatly simplify Microchip's PIC®, AVR® and SAM MCU (MCU) and DSPIC® digital signal control. The functional safety authentication process of the device (DSC). In order to further simplify the test and diagnostic flow, Microchip also launched the MPLAB code coverage license, and the new tool determines whether the software has been tested in a way that the application is minimal.
The MPLAB XC function compiler of TÜV SÜD can meet ISO 26262 Automotive Safety Standards, IEC 61508 Industrial Applications Standards, IEC 62304 Medical Software Standards and IEC 60730 Automatic Electrical Control Standards. Validation and Confirmation Requirements. The MPLAB XC function security compiler comes with additional documents for authenticating MPLAB X Integration Development Environment (IDE) and MPLAB debuggers and programmers. The MPLAB XC function safety license is the lowest cost solution because it does not charge an annual renewal fee. Use the Microchip MCU and functional safety license to reduce application costs while shortening product listing time.
Using the code coverage tool to ensure that the high test overlay of embedded software, a large number of hardware modifications, expensive software and investment of large data files are usually required to obtain relevant information. The MPLAB code coverage license avoids this situation, and the test time is less affected by less than 1%. By obtaining a patented process, the MPLAB code coverage license may not block the code to block the code test once, save time, and no need to filter large data files. Due to application authentication, this code test data is usually required, so the new code coverage license can be further supported for the authentication process.
Rodger Richey, senior director of Microchip Development System, said: "Currently, many MCU products have very high cost, Microchip's functional security products are only one-third of certain competitive solutions, and provide superior global Technical support, help customers accelerate the listing of products and further simplify the development process. "
A device that integrates functions safely designed with TÜV SÜD certified MPLAB XC compilers and MPLAB code coverage tools can simplify automotive, consumer electronics, aerospace, medical and industrial application functional safety certification.
In addition to providing development tools, Microchip also provides many functions, secure PIC, AVR, and SAM MCUs and DSPIC DSCs, in addition to functional safety standards. For all functions of all functions, Microchip provides the ISO 26262 to ASIL-B security level failure mode influence and diagnostic analysis (FMEDA) report and security manual, some of which reach an ASIL-D security level.
Steve Drehobl, senior vice president of Microchip 8-bit and 16-bit microcontroller business unit, said: "As a long-term supplier in the field of automotive applications, we understand and actively respond to customer needs to help customers shorten the cost of development time and optimize the cost of safety products. We The single-chip product line for safe applications will continue to be expanded, and the perfect matching of functionality and value will continue. "
