CISSOID’s Inverter Control Modules achieve ISO26262 ASIL-C Ready Certification for Functional Safety

­CISSOID, a leader in high-performance power solutions, proudly announces that its CxT-ICM3S series of Inverter Control Modules (ICMs) have been successfully certified by SGS-TÜV Saar for functional safety, achieving ISO26262 ASIL-C Ready status. This certification underscores CISSOID's commitment to delivering unique, functionally safe and highly customizable solutions that bridge the gap between discrete hardware components and off-the-shelf inverters, enabling optimized power electronics design for electric vehicles and industrial applications.

The fast-paced evolution of power electronics demands a delicate balance between performance, flexibility, and time-to-market.

Engineers often face a difficult choice: rigid, off-the-shelf inverters that limit optimization or fully custom hardware and software that require extensive development time and validation.

CISSOID’s Inverter Control Modules (ICMs) eliminate this trade-off, offering a pre-qualified, functionally safe solution that combines the efficiency of off-the-shelf systems with the customizability of discrete hardware components. This best-of-both-worlds approach enables manufacturers to tailor their inverter designs to specific voltage, power, and motor control requirements — accelerating development while ensuring safety and performance.

These modules offer:

• Pre-qualified functional safety (ISO 26262 ASIL-C Ready) and optimized performance
• Hardware and software flexibility to adapt to specific motor, voltage, and power requirements
• A streamlined development path that reduces engineering complexity and time-to-market

By integrating field-proven inverter control technology with customizable hardware interfaces, the ICMs allow developers to fine-tune their inverters to maximize efficiency and reliability while ensuring compliance with strict safety standards.

Powered by Intel® Automotive’s Adaptive Control Technology

The Inverter Control Modules are built around Intel® Automotive’s Adaptive Control Unit T222, a powerful, flexible processor designed for ultra-fast reaction times to motor events. This application-specific processor delivers high-performance real-time control, enabling precise and efficient inverter operation. The ICMs also support Intel® Automotive’s Adaptive Control APP software, a customizable, high-performancesoftware platform that allows developers to optimize a wide range of motor control topologies. Both the T222 processor and the inverter software suite are ISO 26262 ASIL-D certified. With this combination of advanced hardware and software, CISSOID provides a scalable, functionally safe solution that meets the highest standards while delivering best-in-class performance.

Accelerating Functional Safety and Electrification Innovation

“This certification is a significant achievement, reinforcing our commitment to providing power electronics designers with an adaptable, functionally safe platform,” said Etienne Vanzieleghem, VP Engineering at CISSOID. “By combining the reliability of an off-the-shelf solution with the flexibility of custom hardware integration, our ICMs enable customers to accelerate electrification projects without compromising safety or performance.”

With ASIL-C Ready certification, the ICMs offer a plug-and-play foundation for EV powertrains, industrial automation and renewable energy systems. Their scalability and ease of integration help customers future-proof their designs and reduce development risks, making them a game-changing solution for next-generation electrification.

At CISSOID, we recognize that overcoming the technological bottleneck of SiC adoption is crucial for accelerating electrification. By providing a ready-to-use, functionally safe inverter control solution, we enable our customers to focus on their core innovations and competitive advantages rather than the complexities of power electronics integration.
