MCUs combine Cortex-M7 core & advanced peripherals
STMicroelectronicshas become the first chip maker to begin volume production of MCUs featuring the ARMCortex-M7 processor: the latest and highest-performing Cortex-M core for advanced consumer, industrial, medical, and IoT devices.The smart architecture of ST's STM32F7 microcontrollerscombines the Cortex-M7 core with advanced peripherals.
Single chip module provides IoT-ready compactness
Freescale Semiconductor has introduced the world’s smallest Single Chip Module (SCM) for the IoT. As the IoT requires more processing horsepower to be packed into ever smaller spaces, Freescale’s SCM line of products can integrate hundreds of components including processors, memory, power management and RF parts, which would otherwise be deployed on a 6" board, into a tiny 17x14x1.7mm package.
Multi-application MCUs offer integrated high security
Freescale has announced the Kinetis K8x multi-application MCU family, delivering high levels of integrated security on an ARM Cortex-M class platform.Creating a secure embedded application has previously required a main processor, a security co-processor to perform cryptographic functions, and in some cases an IC for physical tamper protection. Kinetis K8x MCUs perform all of these functions for savings in cost, size and power.
Secure boot FPGA protects valuable IP from attack
Microsemi has completed Differential Power Analysis (DPA) testing on its secure boot FPGA solution, which resolves side channel vulnerabilities inherent in the configuration process of large SRAM FPGAs. The DPA testing was completed using the Test Vector Leakage Assessment (TVLA) methodology developed by Cryptography Research Incorporated (CRI), a division of Rambus.
The race is on
As autonomous vehicles edge ever closer to mainstream reality, it’s now legislation and litigation that are expected to hold things up, not technology. But that only puts more pressure on manufacturers to get their solutions to market, as Philip Ling investigates.
MIPS supports 12mm² low-power IoT & wearables chip
Samsung president Young Sohn was at the recent IoT World conference in San Francisco to introducea family of low-power chipsdesigned for next-gen IoT devices.One of the chipspresented on stage,ARTIK 1, featuresa MIPS32-based, dual-core application processor, flash storage, a crypto engine and Bluetooth Smart radios for communication.
Secure ULP IoT platform offers battery reliability
Atmel and MXCHIP have announced the joint development of an ultra-low power IoT platform with secure Wi-Fi access to the cloud, enabling designers to quickly bring their IoT devices to market. This joint platform combines Atmel’s ultra-low power Atmel | SMART SAM G Cortex-M4-based MCUs and its SmartConnect WILC1000 WiFi solution with MXCHIP’s MiCO IoT OS, servicing a full range of smart device developers for IoT applications.
28nm Cyclone V FPGAs offer secure voice communications
Altera has announced that its 28nm Cyclone V FPGAs have been chosen by Harris for its latest Falcon III wideband tactical radio. The radio, currently in production, has been designated by the U.S. NSA to be NSA Type-1 certified, enabling Harris to field the radio for secure voice and data communications.
Crypto element device is ultra secure
Ineltek UK has released the latest member of Atmel’s CryptoAuthentication product line, the ATECC508A. This is the first device to integrate ECDH (Elliptic Curve Diffie–Hellman) key agreement, which makes it easy to add confidentiality (encryption/decryption) to digital systems including Internet of Things (IoT) nodes used in home automation, industrial networking, accessory and consumable authentication, medical, mobile and other app...
Security platform achieves common criteria certification
Infineon has announced that its OPTIGA TPM (Trusted Platform Module) with SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) has achieved Common Criteria Certification EAL4+, enabling system manufacturers to distinguish and select trustworthy solutions based on internationally recognised, independent testing.The certificate was presented by the Federal Office for Information Security (known as BSI) at the RSA conference in San Francisco.
