ST Announces Design Package to Accelerate Certification of Safety-Critical Applications
Published2018.05.04 10:55STMicroelectronics (ST) has released new software for its STM32 MCUs that will help technology companies design more secure applications more quickly and cost-effectively.
ST's STM32 SIL Functional-Safety Design Package simplifies the development and certification of systems for designers of STM32-based devices in industrial control, robotics, sensors, medical, and transportation that need to be certified to Safety Integrity Level (SIL) 2 or 3 of the recognized safety standard IEC 61508.
“To help our customers bring new safety-certified products to market quickly and efficiently, we are offering the industry’s first value-added, comprehensive design package that includes certified software free of charge,” said Michel Buffa, General Manager, Microcontroller Division, STMicroelectronics. “Furthermore, this SIL functional safety design package is supported by our STM32 microcontroller portfolio, giving customers more flexibility and optimizing their bill of materials.”
The SIL Functional Safety Design Package consists of X-CUBE-STL, a software self-test library certified to IEC 61508 SIL3, and documentation, and is first used in the STM32F0 series.ST will continue to announce corresponding packages for all other series in the STM32 family throughout 2018 and 2019. The STM32 microcontroller range now includes over 800 variants, providing product developers with unparalleled flexibility to optimize price, performance, and feature integration.
TÜV Rheinland, an international certification body that provides functional safety certification to international standards, has given a positive evaluation of the X-CUBE-STL-F0 according to the functional safety standard IEC 61508:2010.
Contrinex, a sensor manufacturer headquartered in Switzerland, has achieved certification for safety products based on STM32F0 microcontrollers, using ST’s functional safety design package for the first time. “The proven robustness of ST microcontrollers combined with the SIL functional safety design package has streamlined the development of Contrinex’s safety products,” said Nicolas Jouanne, project manager for embedded software development at Contrinex.
