ISO 26262 is an international standard for functional safety of electrical and/or electronic systems in production automobiles.

The Synopsys Z01X fault simulation solution is the result of 10 years of collaboration with leading automotive companies in fault injection testing. The Z01X solution’s performance is the direct result of its concurrent fault simulation algorithm. This algorithm enables thousands of faults to be simulated concurrently on each available processor, for significant speed up of the verification process. Additionally, the Z01X solution supports all permanent and transient fault models required by the ISO 26262 automotive functional safety standard.

Our fourth-generation product, EyeQ4, is an extremely high performance and complex SoC, that must meet the stringent demands of the ISO 26262 functional safety standard. Mobileye employed the Z01X solution to allow us to reach our safety-related fault injection campaign goals in less time than competing software tools.
