ISO26262 ASIL-C level, AEC-Q100 compliance certification

Xilinx has launched its automotive-qualified Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC family, enabling the development of safety-critical ADAS and autonomous driving systems.

The Xilinx Automotive XA Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC family is qualified to the AEC-Q100 test specification with ISO26262 ASIL-C level certification. It integrates a feature-rich 64-bit quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 and dual-core ARM Cortex-R5 based Processing System (PS) and the Xilinx Programmable Logic (PL) UltraScale architecture into a single device. This scalable solution integrates critical functional safety and security features while delivering appropriate performance per watt, making it suitable for a wide range of automotive customer platforms.

The XA Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC family has been certified to meet ISO 26262 ASIL-C level requirements by Exida, a global accredited certification body for automation and automotive system safety and security.

This product includes a "safety island" designed for real-time processing functional safety applications meeting ISO 26262 ASIL-C level requirements. In addition to the safety island, programmable logic allows for the creation of additional safety circuits tailored to specific applications, such as monitors, watchdogs, or functional redundancy, effectively enabling ASIL decomposition and fault-tolerant architecture design within a single integrated circuit (IC).

“Building on our success in ADAS with our new XA Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC family, we look forward to enabling the development of next-generation autonomous driving systems with essential safety and security features,” said Willard Tu, director of the Automotive Business Unit at Xilinx. “Xilinx is proud to expand our automotive product portfolio and continue to serve our customers, building on our more than 12 years of automotive expertise.”
