Whether you’re designing equipment for use on the road or in the factory, you’ll need to emphasize functional safety and obtain the necessary certifications. For automotive applications, you must meet the functional safety requirements of ISO 26262 when designing ADAS domain controllers, battery-management systems, inverters and converters, electric power-steering systems, camera and radar systems, hybrid instrument clusters, chargers, and vehicle control units.
Driven by Industry 4.0 and advanced robotics, industrial equipment is getting smarter and more efficient. To make sure it’s also safer, you will want to meet the functional safety requirements of standards like IEC 61508 when designing analog input and output modules, digital output modules, safety guards, motor drives, and DIN rail power supplies.
