    First to functional safety

    Micron automotive solutions are defined and designed with safety in mind. We continue to drive and lead the automotive market with the industry’s first and only JEDEC compliant ASIL-D ISO 26262 certified memory products. Learn about the evolution of functional safety and ISO 26262.

    The Micron SAFER automotive memory blog series

    Vehicles on the road today are packed with more features than ever before, and it has become increasingly important for automotive electronic and electrical systems to meet rigorous safety standards. In our blog series, we'll discuss how Micron's SAFER framework enables our customers to make more informed decisions about automotive memory solutions.

    Automotive megatrends and their impact on memory and storage

    The five automotive megatrends — autonomous, electrification, enriched cabins, connectivity and zonal architectures — are transforming the automotive industry with a significant impact on memory and storage requirements for use in vehicles. Read about the impact of the megatrends in our new white paper.

    Functional safety is the absence of unreasonable risk due to hazards caused by failures or unintended behaviors of electrical and electronic systems. The Automotive Safety Integrity level (ASIL) is measured by exposure, controllability and severity, where the corresponding ASIL level reflects the severity of harm vs. the probability of occurrence. ASIL-A is the least stringent and ASIL-D is the most stringent.

    Certified ISO 26262 ASIL-D Functional Safety Compliant

    View the Micron functional safety certificates for LPDDR5 and Hardware Development Management Process.

    • Micron certified products help detect, prevent to the extent feasible, and control systematic errors
    • Our rigorous and stringent processes to ensure best-in-class design and testing methodologies are employed from product definition through delivery
    • Micron dedicated safety office is in place to ensure company-wide adoption of ISO 26262 processes and methodologies

    • Micron certified products help detect, prevent to the extent feasible and control random hardware faults
    • Our unique safety engine delivers significant benefits vs. traditional safety implementations1:
      • Up to 50% improvement in system throughput
      • >10 % improvement in memory efficiency
      • Up to 30% improvement in power efficiency
      • Reduced chip count and board area vs. redundancy based solutions
      • Realtime Fault Notification = best in class FDTI

    "Over the past four years, Micron has invested significant effort in enhancing its development processes to meet the stringent requirements of the ISO 26262 functional safety standard to the highest integrity level, ASIL-D. The company’s LPDDR5 device family is architected from the ground up for functional safety, with innovative safety features that go far beyond current industry standard while maintaining compatibility to the JEDEC specification. These advances and the release of the first truly ISO 26262-compliant DRAM product mark an important milestone within the semiconductor industry and will enable the next generation of reliable and safe autonomous driving systems."
