STM1403
SUMMARY DESCRIPTION
The STM1403 family of security supervisors are a
low power family of intrusion (tamper) detection
chips targeted at manufacturers of POS terminals
and other systems, to enable them to meet phys-
ical and/or environmental intrusion monitoring
requirements as mandated by various standards,
such as Federal Information Processing Stan-
dards (FIPS) Pub 140 entitled “Security Require-
ments for Cryptographic Modules,” published by
the National Institute of Standards and Technolo-
gy, U.S. Department of Commerce), EMVCo, ISO,
ZKA, and VISA PED. STM1403 supports target
levels 3 and lower

The STM1403 is available in three versions, corre-
sponding to three modes of the V pin (Supply
Voltage Out), when the SAL (Security Alarm) is as-
serted (active-low) upon tamper detection:

The STM1403 includes Automatic Battery
Switchover, RST Output (Open Drain), Manual
(Push-button) Reset Input (MR), Power-fail Com-
parator (PFI/PFO), Physical and/or Environmental
Tamper Detect/Security Alarm, and Battery Low
Voltage Detect features.

is connected
OUT
directly to the V
pin of the external SRAM that
CC
holds the cryptographic codes).
All variants (see Table 1., Device Options) are pin-
compatible and available in a security-friendly, low
profile, 16-pin QFN package.
The STM1403A also offers a V
(1.237V) as an
REF
option on pin 9. On the STM1403B/C, this pin is
(internally switched V or V ).
