Recently. Microchip Technology announced the launch of the new PIC32CK 32-bit microcontroller (MCU) series. This series integrates the Hardware Security module (HSM) subsystem and the Arm Cortex-M33 core with TrustZone technology to assist in isolation and ensure device security.
PIC32CK SG is the first 32-bit component on the market that combines the powerful security of HSM with TrustZone technology, a hardware based security licensing environment. Microchip's latest innovation for mid-range MCUs provides designers with a cost-effective embedded security solution that meets the latest network security requirements.
The built-in HSM provides a high level of security for authentication, secure debugging, secure startup, and secure updates, while TrustZone technology provides additional protection for critical software functions. HSM can accelerate various symmetric and asymmetric encryption standards, true scramble generation, and secure key management.
Microchip's PIC32CK MCU supports ISO 26262 functional security and ISO/SAE 21434 network security standards. To improve flexibility and cost-effectiveness, the PIC32CK MCU series offers multiple options to adjust security levels, memory, and connection bandwidth according to the requirements of the final application. The options include up to 2MB of double-sided flash memory and 512 KB SRAM, as well as various connection options such as 10/100 Ethernet, CAN FD, and USB.
Rod Drake, Vice President of Microchip MCU32 and MPU32 Business Unit, stated that the emerging requirements require most IoT devices to have security. PIC32CK provides a high level of hardware based security for mid-range microcontroller applications, thereby achieving cost-effectiveness. Microchip's tool ecosystem and security expertise help customers cope with the complexity of new requirements and provide lifecycle support for their products.
