Advancing automotive functional safety through analog & mixed-signal fault simulation

Reading time: 10 minutes
A modern car design showing some of the vehicle's mechanical structure inside the vehicle. The vehicle is silver on a black background with various ADAS symbols emanating from the vehicle.
The automotive industry is undergoing a major transformation, driven by the rise of electric vehicles, ADAS, connected cars, and autonomous vehicles. Due to the safety-critical nature of automotive applications, the reliability and tolerance to faults in semiconductor designs becomes paramount. This white paper delves into the role of analog fault simulation in the context of automotive functional safety. We explore the challenges, applications, benefits, and impact of analog fault simulation on chip design and compliance with safety standards, particularly ISO 26262.
