With advancements in automotive technologies, there has been a growing need for developers
to implement scalable platform designs, and focus on functional safety and security, while accelerating
the development process and achieving a high level of optimization.
In addition, developers must implement the mandatory safety and security requirements
to meet various standards and OEM requirements.
To simplify the complex development environment, automotive OEMs and Tier 1's
are increasingly adopting Automotive Open System Architecture, also known as AUTOSAR,
which addresses the challenge of increasing software complexity by providing an open and exchangeable solution
to standardize the software architecture for automotive electronic control units, or ECUs.
AUTOSAR provides specifications for basic software modules, defines application interfaces
and builds a common development methodology based on a standardized exchange format.
We offer select feature-rich dsPIC33C automotive Digital Signal Controllers, or DSCs,
which are designated as AUTOSAR-ready. These devices include our dsPIC33CH dual core DSCs,
and dsPIC33CK single core DSCs that offer support for AUTOSAR BSW and OS 4.3 from our third party partners,
Production-ready ASIL B and ASPICE-compliant Microcontroller Abstraction Layer, or MCAL drivers,
AEC-Q100 Grade 0 and Grade 1 qualified silicon, ISO 26262 functional safety readiness with
certified functional safety resources and support for implementing robust automotive security.
We've worked with our partners to integrate various components of AUTOSAR into our DSCs
to accelerate development for automotive OEMs and Tier 1's. Our DSCs simplify evaluation in
an ECU project using AUTOSAR 4.3, allowing you to quickly get familiar with a system
based on our dsPIC33 AUTOSAR-ready DSCs. AUTOSAR-ready dsPIC33C DSCs support MICROSAR from
Vector, KSAR OS from KPIT Technologies, and MCAL Driver packages from Microchip.
They also comply with AUTOSAR 4.3 These ASIL B and ASPICE-compliant drivers
with full source code are integrated with the EB tresos Studio AUTOSAR configuration tool from Elektrobit.
Our dsPIC33C devices are not only AUTOSAR-ready, but they are also ISO 26262
functional safety compliant and functional safety ready. They offer the latest hardware safety features and
support collateral to help you achieve ISO 26262 Automotive Safety Integrity Level
ASIL-B safety certification for your design. We offer various ISO 26262 functional safety packages
to simplify the development of your application and accelerate the certification process.
Our AUTOSAR-ready dsPIC33C devices can also be combined with our TrustAnchor 100 CryptoAutomotive™ security ICs
to implement robust security in your designs. The hardware security features in these DSCs protect against
remote digital attacks, while the CryptoAutomotive security ICs provide extra security with
physical anti-tampering and side channel attack protections to block access to embedded system credentials.
Together with our MPLAB® development ecosystem, we offer a comprehensive automotive ecosystem,
including AUTOSAR, Functional Safety packages, Security, Lauterbach TRACE32 debugger support,
and third-party tools support to simplify your development efforts and reduce the design time.
To kickstart your development we offer a wide range of reference designs as well.
