Indie Semi launches ASIL-D supervisory chip
indie Semiconductor has launched a supervisory chip with ASIL-D safety for powertrain designs.
The ASIL-D chip provides critical safety monitor and supervision functionality for mission-critical powertrain operation and was developed with a European Tier 1 automotive system integrator.
This is a step away from indie’s existing range of camera, lidar and ultrasonic chips.
The ASIL-D certification for the supervisory chip has been achieved with multiple dedicated on-chip failure detection and integrity measures, including high-accuracy voltage monitoring, logic function error monitoring, and a window watchdog, to help ensure a safe IC response in the event of a failure.

“Functional safety is a key requirement for multiple automotive applications, including powertrain,” said Dennis Dorn, Project Manager of certification body SGS-TÜV Saar. “We have evaluated indie’s latest safety supervisor SoC to the relevant ISO 26262 clauses, including product development and management processes, and confirm achievement of ASIL D, the highest functional safety level.”
“We are extremely excited by the launch of indie’s first system basis safety solution in close collaboration with a leading European automotive Tier 1,” said Fred Jarrar, vice president of indie semiconductor’s power and ASIC business unit. “Powertrain applications require the highest level of functional safety performance. The independent certification of our latest chip to the rigorous ASIL-D standard is a true validation of indie’s diligent automotive design and development processes, and brings safety confidence to our customer’s mission-critical application.”
First production deployments of indie’s system basis safety IC are expected during the second half of 2025.
