Recently, Unisoc’s next-generation THA6 series MCU has passed the evaluation by the internationally recognized certification body SGS regarding functional safety development processes and functional safety product design, obtaining two qualifications: the ASIL D level functional safety process certification compliant with ISO 26262 standards and the functional safety ASIL D Ready product certification, making it the first ARM Cortex-R52+ core MCU chip in China to achieve ASIL D product certification. This certification further enhances Unisoc’s capability to provide first-class products and services to global customers.
The deepening development of the automotive “new four modernizations” has raised higher performance requirements for automotive chips. The new generation THA6 series MCU from Unisoc can be equipped with up to 6 ARM Cortex-R52+ cores (including lockstep), with a maximum frequency of 400MHz, and features large-capacity embedded non-volatile memory, boasting excellent real-time and multi-core performance, capable of meeting the high safety characteristic application requirements of traditional fuel vehicles and new energy vehicles in power (engine control, electric drive control, battery management, etc.), chassis (steering, braking, etc.), body, intelligent driving, etc., while also supporting new application scenarios such as domain controllers and regional controllers, providing a solid software and hardware foundation for new automotive electronic and electrical architectures.
As the core industry of Unisoc Group’s automotive electronics and intelligent chip sector, Unisoc has entered the automotive electronic functional safety field and has launched the first generation THA6 multi-core domain control chip, which was one of the earliest in China to obtain ASIL D product certification in 2021, leading the completion of a million-kilometer road test and being adopted by leading automotive companies and well-known Tier 1 manufacturers, with product strength widely recognized in the industry.In the future, Unisoc will continue to rely on over 20 years of accumulated R&D and mass production experience, focusing on information security and functional safety, gradually covering surrounding supporting products, to provide smarter, more convenient, and safer chip solutions to meet diverse customer needs and contribute to the high-quality development of the automotive industry.NEXTAbout ISO 26262The ISO 26262 standard is one of the entry barriers for global electronic component suppliers to enter the automotive industry, covering the overall development process related to functional safety (including safety requirement definition, safety architecture and safety mechanism/design, functional safety verification and testing, as well as functional safety management, etc.), and classifying the safety levels of systems from ASIL A to ASIL D (Automotive Safety Integrity Level), with ASIL D being the highest level and the most stringent safety requirements.About SGSSGS (Société Générale de Surveillance S.A.) is a globally recognized testing, inspection, and certification body, serving as a benchmark for quality and integrity. SGS’s global automotive safety technology center can provide one-stop solutions for vehicle manufacturers and component suppliers, covering functional safety for vehicles, automotive-grade chips, semiconductors, ASPICE, SOTIF, information security, etc., and offering technical training, consulting, services, auditing, and certification. The head of the global technology center, Martin Schmidt, is one of the initiators and drafters of ISO 26262, and currently, SGS has over 80 automotive functional safety experts who have issued more than 800 ISO 26262 functional safety and information security certification certificates to global clients.Previous Recommendations:
