AMD: first adaptive SoC fully certified for automotive functional safety applications

Posted 17 November 2022

AMD  completed the functional safety certification of Zynq UltraScale+ Full-Power Domain (FPD) and Programmable Logic (PL) power domain. With this, Zynq UltraScale+ devices become the industry’s first adaptive SoCs to be fully certified for use in functional safety applications based on ISO 26262, IEC 61508 and ISO 13849 functional safety standards. The certification of automotive-qualified Zynq UltraScale+ SoCs provides engineers with application-ready devices that meet required functional safety standards.

Developers can now design automotive functional safety applications powered by Zynq UltraScale+ adaptive SoCs to deliver higher performance, support multiple channels of redundancy, and use up to three independent power domains with ASIL certification. In addition, developers can continue to take advantage of the embedded FPGA fabric to accelerate performance beyond conventional software-based systems and achieve fast response times with low latency required for safety-critical systems.
