Milestone strengthens company’s position in automotive safety-critical SoC market and expands certified IP portfolio

Arasan Chip Systems, the industry's leading provider of IP for Mobile and Automobile SoCs, announced that its CAN XL IP has achieved the ASIL-D Certification. The CAN  XL IP has been independently certified by SGS-TÜV Saar as ASIL-D, the highest safety level of functional safety defined in ISO 26262, the international standard for functional safety in road vehicles.  

The CAN XL IP is backwards compatible with the CAN FD and CAN 2.0 standards.  The ASIL-D certification also covers Arasan's CAN FD IP and CAN 2.0 IP, which will continue to be sold as ASIL-D certified independent products. 

Arasan is offering a free upgrade to its CAN XL IP for customers interested in licensing CAN FD until June 30, 2026. The gate count increase from CAN FD to CAN XL is minimal, and customers are encouraged to leverage this promotion to adopt the latest version of the CAN Specification, CAN XL. 

"Arasan's IP have been used extensively in mission-critical and life-endangering applications in defence, nuclear, aerospace, medical and automotive ADAS SoCs", said Ron Mabry, VP of Sales at Arasan. "The ASIL-D Certification attests to our fail-safe design philosophy".

Arasan has an extensive portfolio of ASIL-B, ASIL-C and ASIL-D certified products, including the MIPI DSI-2 IP for Display, MIPI CSI-2 IP for Camera, both of which are seamlessly integrated with the  MIPI D-PHY IP or the MIPI C-PHY IP, JEDEC eMMC IP for storage and UNH Certified automotive grade Ethernet IP when high-speed automotive connectivity is required.
