Texas Instruments has been developing components for automotive and industrial markets since 1996. Automotive markets have strong requirements regarding quality management and product reliability. The TI new-product development process features many elements necessary to manage systematic faults. Additionally, the documentation and reports for these components can be used to assist with compliance to a wide range of standards for customer’s end applications including automotive and industrial systems (e.g., ISO 26262-4, IEC 61508-2).

This component was developed using TI’s new product development process which has been certified as compliant to ISO 9001 / IATF 16949 as assessed by Bureau Veritas (BV).

The standard development process breaks development into phases:

• Assess
• Plan
• Create
• Validate

Figure 3-1 shows the standard process.
