Functional Safety
In recent years, the issue of “Functional Safety” has come under worldwide scrutiny.
Functional safety is now an essential technology in the future development of
embedded systems.
Renesas strives for integrated safety design based on the basic principles of the IEC
61508 functional safety standard.
AUTOSAR, a consortium composed mainly of
automobile manufacturers (OEMs) and electrical
equipment manufacturers (suppliers), aims to develop
common-use automotive software and electronic
architecture. As a “Premium Member”, Renesas is
committed to activities for the standardization of
software platforms and development processes,
through participation in work packages relating to in-
vehicle networking software-related, such as CAN,
LIN and FlexRay.
Through cooperation with our partner tool vendors,
we offer AUTOSAR compliant software components*,
and reliable development platforms conforming to
world standards.
*Note: R32C, SH2A supported AUTOSAR Basic Software(Under
development): Scheduled to release at the end of 2006

Joined the FlexRay consortium in December 2002
Aiming for the introduction of the X-by-Wire system
that was devised in pursuit of high speed and high
reliability, the FlexRay consortium is formulating
specifications of the communication protocol, physical
layer and adaptability test.
Renesas, an associate member of the FlexRay
Consortium since 2002, has endeavored to reflect
Consortium results in our devices and tools as rapidly
as possible.
Thanks to FlexRay Consortium achievements and the
technology we have acquired through our Working
Group activities, we can offer you world standard
FlexRay devices and development environments that
you can depend on.
Standardization bodies conduct various standardization activities, in order to promote
safe and efficient car manufacturing.
Renesas works with the standardization organizations AUTOSAR, the FlexRay
Consortium to establish a basis for future car manufacturing and to provide customers
with optimum solutions.
