The device offers these features while enabling designers to save up to 50% of PCB space versus the closest competitor, adds Maxim.
The MAX32558 DeepCover Arm Cortex-M3 flash-based secure microcontroller includes secure key storage, a secure bootloader, active tamper detection and secure cryptographic engines. It also supports multiple communications channels such as USB, serial peripheral interface (SPI), universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter (UART) and I2C.
Maxim says its experience in payment terminal certifications as well as its established support and technology can help streamline the certification process for customers, reducing the process up to 6 months’ time – rather than the typical 12 to 18 months.
