Arasan Announces Industry’s First ASIL-D Certification for its CAN XL IP. The certification also covers Arasan’s CAN FD IP and CAN 2.0 IP.
SAN JOSE, Calif.April 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Arasan Chip Systems, a leading provider of mobile and automotive SoC IP, today announced that its CAN XL IP has successfully achieved ASIL-D certification. The CAN XL IP has been independently certified by SGS-TÜV Saar to ASIL-D level, the highest safety level defined in the ISO 26262 international standard for functional safety of road vehicles.
Industry’s First ASIL-D Certified CAN XL and CAN FD IP
The CAN XL IP is backward compatible with the CAN FD and CAN 2.0 standards. The ASIL-D certification also covers Arasan’s CAN FD IP and CAN 2.0 IP, both of which will continue to be sold as standalone products with ASIL-D certification.
Until June 30, 2026, Arasan will offer a free upgrade to CAN XL IP for customers interested in licensing CAN FD. Upgrading from CAN FD to CAN XL requires only a minimal gate count increase. Customers are encouraged to take advantage of this promotion to adopt the latest version of the CAN specification—CAN XL.
“Arasan’s IP is widely used in mission-critical and risk-involved scenarios such as defense, nuclear, aerospace, medical, and automotive ADAS SoCs,” said Ron Mabry, Vice President of Sales at Arasan. “This ASIL-D certification validates our fail-safe design philosophy.”
Arasan offers a portfolio of products certified for ASIL-B, ASIL-C, and ASIL-D, including MIPI DSI-2 IP for displays, MIPI CSI-2 IP for cameras (both seamlessly integrable with MIPI D-PHY IP or MIPI C-PHY IP), JEDEC eMMC IP for storage, and UNH-certified Automotive Ethernet IP for high-speed automotive connectivity.
