• Become familiar with some of the terminology defined within the standard

Who is the course for?

Managers and engineers who are not experts in ISO26262, but wish to become more familiar with the requirements of this automotive functional safety standard and the associated terminology.

Schedule

Automotive Functional Safety, ISO 26262, has gained importance in the recent years with the advent of the Electric Vehicle and Autonomous Vehicle market. It is a vast subject with 13 different standards broken down into a general functional safety section and then followed by functional safety in system, hardware, software, manufacturing and support processes.

This 60 minute webinar will provide an easy to understand overview of Functional Safety for the Semiconductor Industry. The presentation will also simply explain the different terminologies of Functional Safety for non-experts. We will also cover what parts of ISO 26262 relate to Semiconductors and what organizations are currently doing in regards to Functional Safety.
