Mentor emulation platform receives safety certificate

Safety certification company SGS TUV Saar has examined Mentor's Veloce Strato emulation platform and found them compliant to the requirements of the ISO 26262 functional safety standard. Thus, developers of semiconductor components and hardware circuitry for safety-critical systems can use this platform with a clear conscience and without need to fear recourse.

The safety certification de facto expands Mentor's product portfolio in the market of development tools for safety-critical devices, because greatly facilitates the approval process for functions that are affected by the ISO 26262 standard. If the safety certification would not be available, developers would have to submit each product to certification (as long as it is safety-relevant).

"The demand for automated driving and advanced ADAS systems is changing the global automotive industry. As a result, the world's leading automakers and their suppliers increasingly need pre-qualified design automation technologies and documentation to shorten time-to-market and ensure optimal cost efficiency," explained Eric Selosse, vice president and general manager of the Mentor Emulation Division. Mentor's Mentor Safe ISO 26262 Qualification Program meets this growing demand by providing platforms and solutions that optimize and simplify the development, design and manufacture of automotive ICs.
