MAX36051: Ultra-low-power security manager provides nonimprinting memory and tamper detection for industry's highest level of security protection

Maxim introduced the MAX36051 security manager. The device provides 128 bytes of nonimprinting memory to securely store sensitive data, while drawing very little battery power in standby mode (1.5microamps). The internal tamper monitors and tamper detection inputs interface with external sensors so that the end user has a greater level of security in their system. With ultra-low power consumption, this device is ideal in devices where small-capacity batteries are used. The MAX36051 is most appropriate for applications where tamper detection and secure data storage are required and low power consumption is critical, as in secure USB, power meter, and point-of-sale (POS) applications.
