GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The DS2252T secure microcontroller module is ꢀ 8051-Compatible Microcontroller
an 8051-compatible microcontroller based on
nonvolatile RAM technology. It is designed for
systems that need to protect memory contents
from disclosure. This includes key data, sensitive
algorithms, and proprietary information of all
types. Like other members of the secure
8, 32, or 64kbytes of Nonvolatile SRAM for
Program and/or Data Memory Storage
In-System Programming via On-Chip Serial
Port
Capable of Modifying its Own Program
and/or Data Memory in the End System
microcontroller family, it provides full ꢀ Firmware Security Features
compatibility with the 8051 instruction set,
timers, serial port, and parallel I/O ports. By
using NV RAM instead of ROM, the user can
program, then reprogram the microcontroller
while in-system. This allows frequent changing of
sensitive processes with minimal effort.
Memory Stored in Encrypted Form
Encryption Using On-Chip 64-Bit Key
Automatic True Random Key Generator
