Design support site ensuring functional safety
Summary
In recent years, following the acceleration of technical innovation represented by ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) in the automotive sector, it has become necessary to consider functional safety to help prevent accidents. Since then, ROHM gradually expanded its portfolio to include documents required for functional safety design, and currently features a lineup of more than 1,000 compatible part numbers. As the role of semiconductors in the automotive and industrial equipment markets continues to grow, ROHM will strive to manufacture high quality products and contribute to the creation of a safer, more secure, environmentally friendly automotive society through its products. Under a corporate objective of ‘Quality First’ established since its founding, ROHM utilises a vertically integrated production system within the group that infuses superior quality into every process, from development to manufacturing, while also providing reliable traceability and an optimised supply chain. In 2015, ROHM began to establish an ISO 26262 process to address functional safety, and in March 2018 acquired ISO 26262 development process certification from 3rd party certification body TÜV Rheinland.
