Infineon Technologies has announced a partnership with UL Solutions aimed at accelerating ISO 26262 functional safety compliance for automotive systems, a critical factor in electric vehicles (EVs), hybrid powertrains, and automated driving technologies.
ISO 26262 establishes a framework for managing the safety risks associated with electronic systems in vehicles. As the automotive industry continues its shift toward electrification and increased automation, meeting these safety standards is essential for dependable connectivity, reliable powertrain design, and advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS) features.
Through the partnership, UL Solutions’ Software Intensive Systems group will provide customized training, consulting, and independent assessment services for Infineon’s automotive customers.
These services are designed to streamline compliance efforts and improve functional safety outcomes when using Infineon chipsets in ASIL-rated systems, helping development teams address safety goals across complex EV and automated platforms.
Support will focus on functional safety across microcontrollers, power management ICs, gate drivers, and sensors, including the AURIX, TRAVEO T2G, OPTIREG, MOTIX, and XENSIV product lines. These components play a central role in high-voltage EV subsystems such as battery management, inverter control, and sensor fusion for driver-assistance applications.
The collaboration also provides tools for lifecycle safety support, enabling automotive developers to better manage system integrity as vehicles grow more connected and software-defined.
“With the rise of electrification, vehicle automation and driver assistance functions, along with functional safety, continue to be critical elements for OEMs and customers,” says Bill Stewart, VP of Marketing for Americas at Infineon. “By partnering with UL Solutions, automotive customers now have robust support and tools to become ISO 26262-compliant and to help ensure their systems are functionally safe, reliable and secure. Customers will also have access to additional tools to aid in keeping their systems up to date for the life cycle of their vehicle. We look forward to providing this additional layer of service to our automotive customers.
