STMicroelectronics Teams with Yogitech to Develop Safety Package for STM32 Microcontrollers
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Joint efforts underway to simplify compliance with the most stringent
functional-safety requirements in Industrial applications
Geneva, Switzerland; Pisa, Italy, 18 November, 2013 - STMicroelectronics (NYSE:
STM), a global semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of
electronics applications, and Yogitech, a leader in providing functional safety
solutions, have signed an agreement to create a comprehensive package that will
simplify the development and certification of safety-critical applications based
on STM32 microcontrollers.
ST and Yogitech have agreed to develop a safety manual and software test
libraries as a simple, quick, and effective means of detecting and flagging
potentially dangerous failures in STM32 designs using tailored development tools
from IAR Systems. Directed at a market estimated at over ?400 million in Europe
alone, the initiative aims at allowing engineers to choose from over 500 ST
microcontrollers to create innovative and safe industrial products for factory-
automation applications.
"The complexity of modern integrated circuits is such that the adoption of a
black-box approach for safety analysis is no longer an option," said Silvano
Motto, CEO of Yogitech. "The development of the STM32 safety package takes
advantage of fRMethodology, our patented white-box approach to address
functional safety analyses of integrated circuits approved by TÜV SÜD and by
many lead companies in multiple application domains like industrial and
automotive."
"Achieving stringent functional-safety certification on systems where STM32 is
the main microcontroller is a very popular request within our industrial
customer base," said Jacky Perdrigeat, EMEA Marketing Vice President for
Microcontrollers, STMicroelectronics. "The cooperation with Yogitech sets to
speed up time-to-market for critical safety applications, strengthening our
offering for the industrial- and factory-automation markets, which are key
segments for the STM32 product family."
The market-proven 32-bit STM32 ARM(®) Cortex(TM)- M microcontrollers combine
high performance, real-time capabilities, digital signal processing, and low-
power, low-voltage operation, while maintaining ease of development and
extensive compatibility between devices, families and software.
