ARC SEM130FS Safety and Security Processor

The ARC® SEM130FS Safety and Security Processor simplifies development of safety-critical automotive applications while enabling designers to integrate security into their SoC to protect against logical, hardware and physical attacks. The ASIL D compliant SEM130FS processor is a pre-verified dual-core lockstep implementation including a self-checking safety monitor, error correction code (ECC), and a windowed watchdog timer.

The ARC SEM130FS processor includes SecureShield™ technology to enable creation of a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) to isolate multiple execution contexts and protect secure functions from software vulnerabilities in user code. In addition, the safety and security processor provides protection from side-channel attacks featuring uniform instruction timing, timing randomization and power randomization.

The ARC SEM130FS processor is supported by a comprehensive set of safety work products and the ARC MetaWare Toolkit for Safety with ASIL D Ready certified compiler to generate ISO 26262 compliant code.
