UL-Certified Functional Safety Professional in Seminconductor - ISO 26262-11

This 2.5-day course is designed for engineers, developers, and managers seeking to successfully apply ISO 26262 to their safety-related semiconductor programs.

The training starts with an overview of ISO 26262:2018, followed by an in-depth discussion of all semiconductor key topics in ISO 26262 – Part 11: Guidelines on application of ISO 26262 to semiconductors.

kVA’s expert instructors will describe functional safety for a wide range of semiconductor technologies and components including microcontrollers, analog and mixed-signal designs, programmable logic devices, memories and IPs. Functional safety analyses such as Dependent Failure Analysis (DFA) and Failure Modes, Effects and Diagnostic Analysis (FMEDA) are presented from a semiconductor viewpoint, including worked examples of DFA and FMEDA.

Upon completion of this training, you will be able to:

• understand the fundamentals of functional safety: concepts, principles, standards and management across the value chain.
• understand safety goals and Automotive Safety Integrity Levels (ASIL).
• apply ISO 26262 processes for functional safety to a wide variety of semiconductor products, including:
  • Digital components including microcontrollers and memorie
  • Analog elements
  • Programmable logic devices
  • IPs
• perform qualitative and quantitative safety analysis (techniques such as FTA, FMEA and FMEDA) throughout the development process
• perform DFA for semiconductor products
• evaluate quantitative hardware metrics including SPFM, LFM, and PMHF
• define a software development process in accordance with required ASIL

Examination

Participants who complete all 2.5-days of training are eligible to take a two-hour certification exam in the afternoon of the third day. Those who pass the exam are individually certified as a UL-Certified Functional Safety Professional in Semiconductor or UL-CFSP.

Upon the successful completion of the UL-CFSP exam, participants will receive a certificate and badge that they can use to demonstrate their competence in automotive functional safety.

The certification is valid for three years, after which individuals may recertify.
