MAX32520
ChipDNA Secure Arm Cortex
M4 Microcontroller
General Description
Benefits and Features
DeepCover® embedded security solutions cloak sensitive
data under multiple layers of advanced physical security
to provide the most secure key storage possible.
● High-Efficiency Microcontroller for Secure Element IoT
• Arm Cortex-M4F with FPU Up to 120MHz
• 16KB Unified Code Cache
• 2MB PUF Encrypted Flash Memory with Cache
Provides Ultimate Firmware IP Protection
• Low Latency On-the-Fly Decryption of Flash
Execution
• 136KB SRAM + 34KB ECC
• 8KB User-Programmable OTP
The DeepCover secure microcontroller MAX32520 pro-
vides an interoperable, secure, and cost-effective solution
to build new generations of trusted embedded systems
and communication devices such as IoT, IoT gateways,
and wireless access points.
The MAX32520 incorporates Maxim's patented
ChipDNA™ PUF technology. ChipDNA technology in-
volves a physically unclonable function (PUF) that enables
cost-effective protection against invasive physical attacks.
Using the random variation of semiconductor device char-
acteristics that naturally occur during wafer fabrication, the
ChipDNA circuit generates a unique output value that is
repeatable over time, temperature, and operating voltage.
Attempts to probe or observe ChipDNA operation modifies
the underlying circuit characteristics, preventing discovery
of the unique value used by the chip cryptographic func-
tions. The MAX32520 utilizes the ChipDNA output as key
content to cryptographically secure all device stored da-
ta including user firmware. User firmware encryption pro-
vides ultimate software IP protection. The ChipDNA can
also generate a private key for the ECDSA signing opera-
tion.
