Join us for an in-depth exploration of the critical role Safety Microcontrollers (MCUs) play in Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Automated Driving (AD) applications.

This webinar aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the functionalities and indispensability of Safety MCUs, particularly in contrast to the nascent Safety Islands within System on Chips (SoCs). Discover why OEMs continue to rely on external Safety MCUs, such as Infineon's AURIX™, despite the common availability of Safety Islands in modern automotive SoCs.

Key takeaways:
• Essential Role of Safety MCUs: Safety MCUs are a cornerstone of a proper FUSA concept for ADAS/AD applications, such as domain controllers, smart cameras, LiDARs, and radars.

• Critical Functions of Safety MCUs: Safety MCUs supervise actuator commands, provide emergency response, monitor the health of all critical components, offer gateway functionality, and support an independent real-time software environment.

• Advantages of AURIX™ Safety MCUs: AURIX™ is the technically proven solution due to its best-in-class scalability, extensive AUTOSAR and safety software portfolio, and ability to handle fail-operational use cases.

• Limitations of Safety Islands: Safety Islands in SoCs lack the comprehensive feature set and hardware separation that dedicated Safety MCUs offer; hence, they cannot replace them.
