Webinar: ISO 26262 Compliance

To me the major idea of ISO 26262 compliance is ensuring that requirements can be traced throughout the entire design and verification process, including the use of IP blocks. The first market application that comes to mind with ISO 26262 is automotive, with its emphasis on safety because human lives are at stake. Since necessity is the mother of all invention, we have software vendors that have focused on automating this big challenge of traceability of requirements, design data and verification results. Methodics is a software vendor focused on this area, and they are organizing a webinar:

• Achieving a Traceable Semiconductor Design and IP Methodology for ISO 26262 Compliance
• Tuesday, May 14, 2019 at 10AM Pacific Time
• Registration Online

Percipient is the IP Lifecycle management tool discussed in the webinar, and it provides a fully traceable environment for tracking IP in a company while engineers go about their design and verification tasks: analog, digital, software, embedded software, final assembly. The beauty of using Percipient is that traceability is already built-in to the process.
