Infineon Technologies AURIX TC4x microcontroller family meets AI-specific safety requirements for SAFE AI compliance, according to the Fraunhofer Institute for Cognitive Systems IKS proposal.
The AURIX TC4x microcontroller family, with their ASIL-D compatible AI-accelerator (PPU), offer: A novel platform for creating embedded AI-based use cases and automotive applications such as motor control, battery management systems, vehicle motion control, and siren detection.
Embedded AI is becoming increasingly crucial in automotive applications that require safety in real time. However, this introduces new needs and standards that must be considered throughout the product’s lifecycle.
Fraunhofer IKS SAFE AI Framework:
Fraunhofer IKS established the SAFE AI framework, which is based on ISO PAS 8800 and current state-of-the-art AI laws.
The SAFE AI framework evaluates the trustworthiness of AI in terms of robustness, data utility, operational design domain (ODD), and environmental conditions.
The AURIX TC4x microcontroller family’s functional safety features provide methods for application-level compliance with AI legislation and standards.
The AURIX TC4x microcontroller family enables automobile makers to assess the safety and dependability of AI solutions, as well as identify potential vulnerabilities during system development and operation.
For safety-critical real-time applications, the inclusion of AI models such as neural networks improves accuracy and provides additional safety when combined with the existing physical sensor.
“The integration of safe and reliable AI functionality into automotive microcontroller families is essential to further improve vehicle performance, safety, and comfort,” said Thomas Boehm, Senior Vice President Microcontroller at Infineon. “We are therefore very proud that our AURIX TC4x microcontroller has successfully passed the SAFE AI assessment by the Fraunhofer Institute for Cognitive Intelligence. This underlines our position as one of the leading innovation drivers in the industry.”
