Your route to safety-critical certification

Hitex (UK) Ltd has extensive knowledge and experience of many standards such as IEC 61508, DO-178B, ISO 26262 and others. There is increasing pressure on companies to produce safety-critical code, using an approved process, with the target of achieving accreditation first time.

Not only can we assist with achieving these standards, but we can also provide training in the application of these standards to safety-critical applications. Whether you are working in AURIX or Cortex-based applications, we have unrivalled inhouse expertise which has spanned multiple industries over the years, including automotive, defence and medical to name just a few.

As an Infineon Approved Design House, Hitex is endorsed in the UK for delivering complex AURIX designs quickly and to the highest standard with real-world proven processes and comprehensive safety knowledge. Hitex provides AURIX microcontroller start-up assistance as well as training and consultancy surrounding tools, middleware, functional safety and security. We can also aid with achieving certification.

Hitex has access to deep technical information and the in-house experience to allow drivers such as MCAL to be implemented to a range of safety levels. We provide MCAL drivers for full-fledged AUTOSAR projects as well as industrial projects with special requirements. In both cases the key benefit is saving time and effort and making use of approved and tested technology for safe operation. The drivers were partly developed, and quality tested by Hitex.

With the launch of a new range of functional safety products from Arm, we can also offer a fast track to functional safety with Cortex-based applications. Many products for markets such as household appliances, automotive, industrial and healthcare have regulatory requirements to be certified against functional safety (FuSa) standards. For example, IEC 61508 for electrical systems, ISO 26262 for the automotive industry, IEC62304 for medical systems, and EN 50128 for railway applications.

Within the standards, there are multiple safety integrity levels (SIL) that specify formal methods to be used during development for verifying that the application code, software components and toolchains are safe for the intended use.

Hitex (UK) Ltd is renowned for its industry-leading Arm and Cortex knowledge. With the latest addition to the Arm range of products, we are now able to provide guidance and support for functional safety applications and projects. The range of products is designed to make the journey to certification as smooth as possible.

This combined with previous experience of working to numerous safety standards over many years gives us a unique range of experience to help you reach your goals as quickly and smoothly as possible.
