"Achieving ISO 26262 compliance for our Xpedition and PADS Professional flows, including our supporting tools, ensures that our customers can design automotive electronic systems with the greatest confidence in functional safety compliance," stated A.J. Complementing the Xpedition and PADS Professional Mentor flows, signal integrity, power integrity, thermal analysis, and new product introduction (NPI), are achieved by using the HyperLynx and Valor NPI tools, respectively. Mentor's PCB design flow provides design entry, logical and functional schematic validation, and PCB layout.
The Xpedition and PADS Professional flows are certified for Tool Confidence Level 1 (TCL-1) across ASIL A through D levels. "Now that Mentor's PCB design tools are ISO 26262 certified, design teams can now confidently design compliant products faster at lower cost with less risk." It's critical that design teams can confidently design to fully meet Functional Safety requirements," said Mike Varnau, President at Reliability Solutions. "Safety is a key design requirement for automotive electronics systems. With the certification of these Mentor products, automotive design teams can now use either Mentor® PCB design flow for performance efficiency, predictability, and productivity for functional safety.
ISO 26262 establishes a unifying, industry-specific standard for the functional safety and expected reliability of E/E systems in passenger vehicles. The Xpedition and PADS Professional flows and related documentation were evaluated by TÜV SÜD, an internationally accredited independent testing and conformity assessment company, and certified to achieve ISO 26262 Tool Confidence Level 1 for ASIL A through ASIL D. Mentor has met the requirements for validation and confirmation measures, providing confidence that a sufficient and acceptable level of safety can be achieved using these Mentor PCB products. 17, 2018 /PRNewswire/ - Mentor, a Siemens business, today announced that the Xpedition™ and PADS® Professional printed circuit board design (PCB) design flows, including the Valor™ NPI and HyperLynx™ family of products, have each achieved ISO 26262 functional safety compliance.
