Microchip releases the industry’s first microcontroller integrating powerful security subsystem and arm TrustZone Technology
2022-08-06
[introduction] the increasingly complex security threats have brought challenges to the development of products in the Internet of things (IOT), consumer, industrial, medical and other markets. These products must have strong embedded security and low power consumption to extend battery life. Microchip Technology Inc. today announced the launch of the industry's first integrated security subsystem and arm in a single package ® TrustZone ® Technology pic32cm ls60 single chip microcomputer (MCU). The new microcontroller integrates microchip's trust platform security subsystem, making it easier to develop terminal products using a single microcontroller instead of two or more chips. Now, designers can use this trusted 32-bit microcontroller to protect products and end-users' smart home devices, smart phone or tablet accessories, portable medical devices, wearable devices, connected appliances and industrial robots from remote or physical attacks.


With the continuous and rapid development of the Internet of things industry, high standard security protection has become indispensable for edge devices. Pic32cm ls60 combines the easy-to-use arm TrustZone technology and the "high" level trusted platform security subsystem identified in the common standard joint interpretation Library (Jil), enabling developers to implement industry recognized security practices and Countermeasures to prevent various known remote and physical attacks. MPLAB was obtained for relevant design ® Code configurator (MCC), TrustZone manager and trusted platform design suite, which simplifies the configuration of security subsystem. Microchip trusted platform configuration service can be used to securely configure keys and certificates.



Rod Drake, vice president of microchip's 32-bit microcontroller business department, said: "pic32cm ls60 integrates arm TrustZone technology and microchip's security subsystem in a single package. It is an unprecedented product in the market. We believe that the safety, ease of use and low power consumption of this microcontroller will strongly promote the adoption of advanced security technology in the application of the Internet of animals."



With more and more waterproof wearable devices and modern electrical appliances using touch screen functions, Embedded designers are facing the challenge of developing a touch screen interface that can operate stably in noisy and humid environments. The pic32cm ls60 integrates an enhanced peripheral touch screen controller with the function of driven shield plus, which can prevent erroneous touch screen caused by humidity and provide high noise resistance to achieve excellent touch screen interface function.



In addition, the device has a sleep walking peripheral and an event system independent of the kernel. These peripherals can make the MCU kernel stay in sleep mode for a long time to reduce power consumption. It is also equipped with on-chip analog, including operational amplifier (o OP AMP), digital to analog converter (DAC) and analog-to-digital converter (ADC), which can operate in sleep mode and connect with various sensors. The pic32cm ls60 is compatible with the MPLAB data visualizer and power debugger tools and can be used to monitor, analyze and fine tune power consumption data in real time. This makes it easier for customers to develop low-power applications and launch products with longer battery life to the market faster.
