SiliconAuto Receives ISO 26262 ASIL B Product Ready Certification

SGS-TÜV Saar verifies SiliconAuto’s new 32-bit MCU for automotive functional safety

Taipei, TAIWAN – SiliconAuto, an emerging semiconductor startup with backing from global automaker Stellantis and electronics manufacturer Foxconn, today announces its achievement of ISO 26262 ASIL B Product Ready certification. SGS-TÜV Saar has verified SiliconAuto’s new 32-bit microcontroller unit (MCU) for automotive functional safety, setting the stage for its upcoming launch.

SiliconAuto CEO, Dr. Gene Liu: "Achieving certification for automotive functional safety is a milestone for our company. It's a testament to our team's relentless pursuit of excellence, precision, and trust. This recognition reinforces our commitment to building technologies that not only drive innovation but also safeguard lives on the road. I'm incredibly proud of what we've accomplished together."

ISO 26262 qualifies functional safety throughout a vehicle’s lifespan. ASIL B, or Automotive Safety Integrity Level B, is a classification within the ISO 26262 standard that addresses the functional safety of electrical and electronic systems in vehicles. It represents a moderate level of risk, typically applied to systems such as body and in-cabin controls. Achieving ASIL B certification requires a rigorous development process, including hazard analysis, fault tolerance strategies, and comprehensive validation. SiliconAuto’s MCU successfully meets these criteria, demonstrating its capability to support safety-critical applications while maintaining performance and reliability.

The verification process involved extensive collaboration between SiliconAuto’s engineering teams and SGS-TÜV Saar’s safety assessors. This included detailed documentation reviews, hardware and software architecture evaluations, and fault injection testing to ensure the MCU’s resilience under real-world conditions. The MCU’s compliance with ISO 26262 ASIL B requirements not only validates its design integrity but also streamlines integration for automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers seeking to meet safety regulations without compromising on innovation or efficiency.

With this certification, SiliconAuto positions itself as a trusted partner in the automotive semiconductor space. The ISO 26262 ASIL B designation opens doors to a wide range of applications in next-generation vehicles, including electric and autonomous platforms where safety and reliability are paramount. As the industry continues to evolve toward smarter and safer mobility, SiliconAuto’s achievement underscores its commitment to delivering cutting-edge solutions that meet the highest standards of automotive safety.
