Now it's easier for automotive electronics suppliers to develop functionally safe systems in compliance with the International Standards Organization's (ISO) 26262 standard. The Qorivva MPC5643L 32-bit microcontroller (MCU) was recently certified by exida, an independent accredited assessor, making it the industry's first semiconductor product to achieve the certification. This MCU, built on Power Architecture® technology, is designed for use in a wide range of automotive applications that require high levels of automotive safety integrity, including electric power steering, active suspension, anti-lock braking systems and radar-based advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). It is suitable for use for all automotive safety integrity levels (ASIL), up to and including the most stringent level, ASIL D.

The Qorivva MPC5643L 32-bit MCU built on Power Architecture® technology is designed to specifically address the ISO 26262 safety standard up to the requirements of the most stringent ASIL D level. The MPC5643L is the first MCU to achieve ISO 26262 functional safety standard certification. It reduces design complexity and component count by putting key functional safety features on a single chip with a dual-core, dual-issue architecture, which can be statically switched between lockstep mode (redundant processing and calculations) to decoupled parallel mode (independent core operation). The Qorivva MPC5643L MCU is a SafeAssure functional safety solution.

Features
