ST provides a comprehensive set of free-of-charge and certified Functional Safety packages based on robust built-in STM8 MCU and STM32 MCU and MPU safety features with the aim of significantly reducing the development efforts, time and cost required to meet functional safety standards. Automatically triggered when a risk of harming users is identified, safety mechanisms in software are embedded in many electronic systems present in Industry 4.0, medical, automotive and home electrical appliances and in all new safety-regulated markets such as battery management systems and drones.
Several ST Authorized Partners are experts in functional safety and have expanded their know-how to STM8 and STM32 with software, tools, trainings and other services. Their solutions help designers at any stage of their project: from the mapping of safety requirements to the design and validation of hardware and software, certification phase included.
