Allegro MicroSystems A²-SIL™

ASIL Logo

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) released a safety standard in 2011 to comply with needs specific to the application sector of electrical/electronic (E/E) systems within road vehicles* designated as: ISO 26262: Road Vehicles – Functional Safety.  Auto makers worldwide are beginning to require that electronic safety systems and their components are developed in compliance with this state-of-the-art standard.

With the increased use of technologically complex electronics in automotive safety systems, it is critical that these systems are thoroughly designed, manufactured, validated as safe and reliable, and integrated with other electronic systems in the automobile.

Allegro MicroSystems, LLC is a leading supplier of automotive electronic integrated circuits and is fully supportive of this safety initiative.  The creation of an active Functional Safety (FuSa) culture has become an important corporate objective within Allegro and employees have undergone extensive safety training as part of our commitment to the automotive market.

*The standard applies specifically to safety-relevant E/E systems in standard passenger cars up to 3,500kg.

Application Note: Functional Safety Challenges to the Automotive Supply Chain
