The next architecture is Integrated Safety Architectures. These architectures have been made possible through the availability of analog and power components that are designed in accordance with the ISO26262 specification that was released in 2011. In integrated safety architectures, the safety supporting features that were previously implemented discretely are now integrated into the motor drive unit and the power supply. PMIC monitors, a Watchdog, communication security, and latent fault detection through built-in self test is now integrated into the motor driver. The application of ISO26262 while designing the motor driver ensures that the monitoring and redundancy required for control of random faults, systematic faults, and latent faults are recognized in the architecture of the IC. Integrated safety architectures are gaining popularity in the industry. Some of the key benefits of these concepts are that the number of components in the system is significantly reduced. This can reduce required board space as well as the complexity of the system architecture. Another key benefit is the reduction in development time since the safety analysis of the integrated components is already completed by the IC supplier.
