Microchip Functional Safety for Microchip Products | Datasheet Preview

Microchip provides a complete ecosystem of support for meeting functional safety requirements for automotive, industrial and appliance segments. Functional safety is part of the overall safety of a product that depends on any type of automatic protection. This automatic protection system needs to respond correctly to its inputs and have predictable responses to failure. Software plays a large role in automatic protection systems and adds to the complexity of designing and evaluating the integrity of these safety systems. A product that contains the “Functional Safety Ready” designation offers integrated hardware safety features, along with the following support materials: Safety Manual, Failure Modes, Effect, and Diagnostic Analysis reports, and in some cases, diagnostic software libraries. The PIC and AVR Functional Safety Ready 8-bit microcontrollers encompass the latest hardware safety features to help you achieve ISO26262, IEC 61508 and IEC 60730 certification and increase reliability and redundancy in your applications.
