Synopsys ARC-V RHX Series Functional Safety Processor IP

The Synopsys ARC-V™ RHX-110-FS, RHX-115-FS, RHX-110V-FS, and RHX-115V-FS functional safety processors simplify development of high-performance safety-critical applications and accelerate ISO 26262 certification of automotive system-on-chips (SoCs). The ASIL D compliant processors feature a pre-verified dual-core lockstep implementation (up to 8x cores in lock-step) including an integrated safety monitor. There is also an option to run the cores in an independent “hybrid” mode for ASIL B or non-automotive applications requiring higher performance based on the same design.

The ARC-V RHX Series Functional Safety processors are supported with comprehensive safety work products and the MetaWare Toolkit for Safety with ASIL D certified compiler to generate ISO 26262 compliant code.
