South Korean memory chipmaker SK hynix said its LPDDR5X dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) and development process received Safety Integrity Level 3 certification under IEC 61508.

Its cybersecurity management system also received certification under ISO/SAE 21434.

SGS-TÜV Saar awarded both certifications. SK hynix said the certifications could support sales to car, robot, and factory system makers.

In vehicles, LPDDR5X is marketed for use in advanced driver-assistance and infotainment systems.

SK hynix said the cybersecurity review covered product development and mass production.

United Nations Economic Commission for Europe regulations R155 and R156 set requirements for cyber risk management and software updates.

ISO/SAE 21434 shapes how automakers assess suppliers.

Rivals are also pursuing the segment. Samsung markets automotive LPDDR5X for safety-critical centralized vehicle systems, while Micron said its LPDDR5X meets safety standards.
