Microchip launches functional safety certification package for FPGA chips to speed up time to market
Systems used in many high-reliability commercial aviation, space, defense, automotive, and industrial applications require certification to the IEC 61508 Safety Integrity Level (SIL) 3 functional Safety specification. To reduce the cost of the process and speed it to market, Microchip Technology Inc. continuously certifies its products and tools according to industry safety standards. Announced the IEC 61508 SIL 3 certification package for two additional system-on-chip (SoC) FPGas and FPGA families.
Microchip's security package is built on the SEU-resistant, flash-based FPGA architecture of SmartFusion 2 and IGLOO 2 devices. These FPGas have been certified by TUV Rhineland®, an independent security evaluation company. The software delivery package includes Microchip's Libero® SoC design kit v11.8 Service Pack 4 certification and related development tools, as well as 28 intellectual property (IP) cores, safety manuals, documentation, and device data sheets. The safety certificate of TUV Rheinland is also included. Microchip has also helped protect its customers' long-term certification investments by implementing a customer-driven product shutdown mechanism. Microchip commits to manufacturing the devices used in the certification system whenever a customer needs to order them, and Microchip is able to obtain all the child components of the required devices. This increases the customer's confidence that duplicate certification is not required and reduces the risk of parts accidentally entering obsoletion and being forced to redesign or change the tool process
Unlike static random access memory (SRAM) -based FPGas, Microchip's flash-based SmartFusion 2 and IGLOO 2 FPGas eliminate the need for triple module redundancy (TMR) mitigation that adds to the total system cost. The SmartFusion 2 SoC FPGA is the only device that integrates the FPGA architecture, Arm® Cortex®-M3 processor, and programmable analog circuits. Low-density IGLOO 2 devices consume 50% less power than similar devices, making them ideal for general-purpose functions that require more resources.
