Analog Devices’ Wireless Battery Management System Achieves Top Automotive Cybersecurity Qualification
March 31 2022 - 8:00AM
Business Wire
Analog Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADI) today announced its Wireless
Battery Management System (wBMS) is certified to the highest
standard of automotive cybersecurity engineering and management.
ISO/SAE 21434 is the new standard for cybersecurity risk management
throughout the lifecycle of the vehicle from concept, product
development and production, to operation, maintenance, and
decommissioning of electrical and electronic systems. TÜV NORD
Mobilität, the assessor for this qualification, affirmed that ADI’s
wBMS is the first automotive system that it has certified for
ISO/SAE 21434. The assessment confirmed that ADI performed
appropriate assurance measures within the product development to
fulfill the CAL 4 requirements.

Since announcing the industry’s first wBMS with General Motors
in 2020, ADI has brought this technology to mass production as a
turnkey solution for vehicle manufacturers with security designed
in at every level. The transition of battery packs from wired to
wireless connectivity enables automotive manufacturers to scale
their electric vehicle fleets into volume production across a wide
range of vehicle classes, and wBMS provides the modularity,
flexibility, and scalability to streamline the design and assembly
processes with connector-free batteries. With this reliance on
wireless communication, ensuring transparency, security, and ease
of deployment for the system are critical.
“We conducted an intensive assessment to verify that ADI’s wBMS
conforms to ISO/SAE 21434 requirements. With ADI considering the
CAL 4 classification conditions throughout product development, the
cybersecurity assurance measures complied with the highest
requirements,” said Leif-Erik Schulte, Senior Vice President at TÜV
NORD Mobilität. “This system certification is a key element to
build trust across the full electrification ecosystem – from energy
storage to OEMs to consumers – to support EV adoption and help
reduce emissions.”
According to a recent McKinsey report1, ‘Cybersecurity is
becoming a new dimension of quality for automobiles …Cybersecurity
will be nonnegotiable for securing market access and type approval’
in the future. The CAL 4 classification according to the ISO/SAE
21434 standard requires strong risk assessments to proactively
identify any component, application programming interface (API) or
software function that could be vulnerable to a cyber-attack.
“Personal vehicles are a major contributor to global warming and
accelerated EV adoption plays a critical role in achieving a
sustainable future,” said Roger Keen, General Manager of Battery
Management Systems at Analog Devices. “Improving the security and
accuracy of EV batteries removes roadblocks in end-users’ buying
considerations and advances OEMs’ decisions to expand their EV
offerings. With this certification, ADI can provide ongoing
transparency and seamless deployment within the EV battery supply
chain to progress our vision of a greener world. It further
accelerates the speed to market for our customers by saving their
cybersecurity development time and associated infrastructure
investment.”
