reenter your passwordWhether you're working on zonal architectures, centralized compute platforms, or safety-critical ECUs when designing the next generation of vehicles, you need solutions that help you meet ISO 26262 requirements efficiently. NXP gives you the tools to accelerate your ISO 26262 system compliance , reduce complexity, and deliver reliable systems across every domain.
Our S32G3 processors and MPC574xx MCUs meet ASIL A to D requirements and deliver safe, reliable solutions for braking, steering, ADAS, and beyond.
We follow our TÜV SÜD-certified BCaM (Business Creation and Management) processes up to ASIL D across the safety lifecycle when developing our components to ensure systematic capability.
Leverage NXP SafeAssure® program and access comprehensive safetydocumentation such as FMEDA reports, safety manuals, and compliant item certifications to streamline your safety case and accelerate validation.
Our Safety Software Framework (SAF), structural core self-Test (SCST), and [Integrated Memory Test (IMT)] libraries can help you reduce your software certification burden.
Solve safety challenges across vehicle domains with NXP.
Meet ASIL D requirements for braking, steering, and battery management. Use safe architectures with built-in diagnostics, lockstep execution, and high-integrity communication to ensure safe operation.
Design perception, decision, and motion control systems to meet highly automated driving targets (ASIL B to D). Isolate safety-critical tasks, implement redundancy, and detect faults in real time using scalable compute and safety software frameworks.
Deliver safe lighting, HVAC and access control systems that meet ASIL B or C. Use domain isolation, watchdogs and diagnostics to maintain safety without overengineering.
Maintain safety integrity in mixed-criticality environments. Use secure boot, memory protection and virtualization to support ASIL B/C separation and enable safe OTA updates.
Enable car infotainment for the software-defined car with an automotive radio and audio single-chip solution integrated an ASIL A audio support for ADAS warning sounds management.
When you're building safety-critical automotive systems, starting from a proven foundation helps you move faster and reduce risk. NXP offers a portfolio of reference designs that demonstrate how to meet ISO 26262 requirements across key vehicle domains. Each design includes hardware, software, and documentation to support your safety case and streamline certification.
Power your body electronics, zone controllers, and battery management systems with S32K3 MCUs. These devices integrate lockstep cores and hardware safety mechanisms, and come with safety manuals, FMEDA reports, and certified software components to support ASIL B/D designs.
Secure your domain controllers and service-oriented gateways with S32G processors. Built with safety islands, ECC-protected memory, and secure boot, these devices support ASIL D system designs and simplify your safety architecture.
Deliver high-performance safety for radar, chassis control, and powertrain systems. S32Z/E processors combine multicore lockstep architectures with time-sensitive networking (TSN), and follow TÜV-certified development processes to support ASIL D applications.
Design your short, middle or long-range applications with NXP's ASIL B compact (with SAF85xxx) or high-resolution (Combining S32R processors and TEF810x or TEF82xxx transceivers) radar systems. With integrated diagnostics and safety documentation, they will support you to meet ISO 26262 targets for advanced driver assistance and autonomous driving.
Accelerate your BMS, on-board charger, and inverter designs with ASIL-capable MCUs and power management ICs. The PF09, PF5x and PF8x families provide voltage monitoring, failsafe outputs, and built-in diagnostics to support high-voltage safety requirements.
Simplify your power supply design with NXP's automotive SBCs. These chips integrate watchdogs, voltage supervision, and other safety features to support ASIL-compliant systems.
Speed up your software certification with NXP's pre-certified components. Our safety software framework (SAF), structural core self-test (SCST) libraries help you meet ISO 26262 requirements with less effort.
Detect hazards and trigger safe braking or fallback modes. S32R processors and TEF82xx transceivers support ASIL B/D designs with built-in diagnostics and safety documentation.
Maintain situational awareness under fault conditions. Our processors enable degraded modes that preserve core safety functions like lane keeping and obstacle avoidance.
Monitor cell health and trigger isolation or shutdown to prevent thermal events. Our MCUs and PMICs support ASIL-compliant fault handling.
Protect high-voltage systems with safe states like grid disconnection or limp mode. NXP components integrate voltage supervision and self-test features.
Enable distributed safety in SDV architectures. S32K MCUs support localized fault handling and fallback modes while maintaining essential functions.
Protect high-voltage systems with safe states like grid disconnection or limp mode. NXP components integrate voltage supervision and self-test features.
Centralize safety and manage secure data flow. S32G and S32N processors support ASIL D designs and enable safe isolation, rerouting, and OTA updates.
Maintain safe connectivity with fallback modes and secure boot. SAF5400 modems and secure processors help preserve system integrity and situational awareness.

Explore NXP's portfolio of automotive-grade processors, microcontrollers, and functional safety software. Discover how our solutions help you simplify compliance, reduce risk, and deliver safe, innovative vehicles to market faster.
Functional safety ensures that systems perform safety functions reliably—even when faults occur. ISO 26262 defines it through two pillars: systematic capability (robust development processes) and hardware safety integrity (fault detection and safe state transitions).
ISO 26262 is the global standard for automotive functional safety. It defines Automotive Safety Integrity Levels (ASIL A-D), which quantify the required risk reduction. ASIL D represents the highest safety integrity level.
NXP provides ASIL-compliant components developed according toTÜV-certified processes, and detailed safety documentation—such as safety manuals, and FMEDAs. Our SafeAssure® program helps reduce system-level analysis effort and speeds up certification.
Functional safety teams often face:
NXP addresses these challenges with scalable architectures, pre-certified software, and documentation that supports early safety analysis and reuse.
We support all major domains: ADAS, powertrain, electrification, body control, connectivity, and infotainment. Our portfolio scales across zonal and centralized SDV architectures, helping you meet safety goals across the vehicle.
Functional safety protects against unintentional faults, when Cybersecurity defends against malicious attacks. They are essential and governed by distinct standards: ISO 26262 for safety and ISO/SAE 21434 for cybersecurity, but may be involved in the same applications.
