The Alps family includes 40 safety mechanisms to monitor the single point faults of the whole chip and 9 safety mechanisms of “safety mechanisms” to monitor the safety mechanisms’ working state. An independent EMU (Error Management Unit) is used to handle functional safety related interrupts and control the state of the device.

Calterah is building up the IC development process following the ISO 26262 standard, and cooperating with “TüV Rheinland” for ASIL B certification for Alps and for development process certification.
