On March 17, 2022, the signing ceremony for the 2022 ISO 26262 Automotive Functional Safety ASIL D Process Certification of Hangshun Chip was held at the Chengdu branch. Wang Xiang, CTO of Hangshun Chip, and members of the company's ISO 26262 certification working group, along with Bao Yan, Senior Manager of SGS Automotive Services South China, attended the event and jointly witnessed the launch of the 2022 ISO 26262 Automotive Functional Safety ASIL D process certification for Hangshun Chip. The ISO 26262 Automotive Functional Safety ASIL D process will provide a solid foundation and stable support for the implementation of the dual strategy of Hangshun's "vehicle specification SoC+high-end MCU supermarket".

Wang Xiang, CTO of Hangshun Chip, delivered an on-site speech stating that with the driving force of downstream application scenarios such as consumer electronics, industrial control, and automotive electronics, the global MCU market size will reach 23.9 billion US dollars in 2022. In 2022, China's market size is expected to exceed 70.9 billion yuan, with European and American manufacturers accounting for more than 90%, and domestic manufacturers accounting for only about 2% -3%. Due to the high prosperity of the industry, there is a clear trend of domestic substitution. Hangshun chips have leading technological advantages, production capacity, and process advantages. Within three years, they have mass-produced over 300 MCU products from 29 major families, firmly standing in the first tier in China.

Hangshun chip adopts the strategy of "vehicle standard SoC+high-end MCU supermarket"; While continuously building a wider and deeper high-end MCU supermarket, we focus on the research and development, production, and sales of automotive SoC chips. The support behind it is the domestic localization, electronic systematization, and huge demand for chips (especially MCU/SOC main control chips) in the automotive industry. At the same time, with the gradual tightening of policy standards in the domestic automotive industry, the quality and safety of automobiles are facing strict tests. MCU/SoC chips, as core components in automotive electronic systems, have become necessary conditions for ensuring safe driving of domestically produced cars in terms of functional safety (FuSa) research and development, product production release, and operation and maintenance. Traditional chip development focuses on the optimal implementation of required functions and performance, while functional safety (FuSa) focuses on the safe operation design after chip failure. How can MCU/SoC chips enter a safe state through safety redundancy design to ensure the safety of ECU systems when hardware or system failures occur randomly? This is the main question that needs to be answered when traditional chips evolve into automotive standard chips. To this end, Hangshun Chip collaborates with SGS to jointly build the ASIL D highest level automotive functional safety process defined by the ISO 26262 standard; And based on the Hangshun ISO 9001 quality management system, develop a vehicle specific SoC through the ASIL D process of ISO 26262 automotive functional safety. 

Hangshun Chip is committed to working together with car manufacturers, automotive system suppliers, and automotive component suppliers to make safety cars made in China renowned worldwide.

Bao Yan, Senior Manager of SGS Automotive Services South China, delivered a speech on site. As a leading domestic chip enterprise, Hangshun Chip has chosen to cooperate with SGS on functional safety projects, which is recognition and support for our efforts in functional safety training and certification. As a semiconductor industry cluster in western China, Chengdu has gathered many excellent enterprises, high-quality talents, and superior products. SGS has been operating in the western region for a long time and has a good customer base and cooperation cases. Through this cooperation, we will further expand the influence of SGS functional security services in the western region. After cooperating with manufacturers of communication products, RTOS products, and traditional control system products, Hangshun Chip is the first high-end MCU chip manufacturer in the western region that SGS has welcomed. We will actively assist in the smooth implementation of Hangshun Chip's dual strategy of "Vehicle Standard SoC+High end MCU Supermarket" through cooperation in functional safety projects.

SGS and Hangshun Chip ISO26262 Automotive Functional Safety ASIL D Process Certification 2022 Work Group Member Discussion Meeting

ASILD's automotive functional safety process certification marks the gradual construction of a product development and process system layout that meets the ISO 26262 standard for Hangshun chips. The supporting research and development capabilities and management capabilities have also been verified and improved, striving to achieve the highest standards of safety and reliability for Hangshun's automotive grade SoC products, aligning with international advanced levels, and laying a solid foundation for China's automotive grade chips to enter the international automotive supply system and participate in international competition.

Regarding the ISO 26262 standard

The ISO 26262 standard is a globally recognized functional safety standard for automobiles, covering the entire lifecycle of products, including functional safety management, concept stage development, system stage development, hardware stage development, software stage development, support processes, safety analysis, product release, and all other aspects.

According to the degree of safety risk, ISO26262 determines the safety integrity level of vehicles classified as ASIL D/C/B/A for systems or system components, with D level having the highest safety level and A level having the lowest safety level. The higher the level, the higher the functional safety required for the design, including coverage of faults, traceability of design processes, and proof of reliability of design software.
