STMicroelectronics ST33J2M0 32-bit microcontroller

STMicroelectronics has introduced the ST33J2M0 secure microcontroller, based on the 32-bit ARM SecurCore SC300 processor. The product provides a 2 MB Flash program memory, nearly doubling the memory available in a secure microcontroller.

The product features multiple hardware accelerators for advanced cryptographic functions. The EDES peripheral provides a secure DES (data encryption standard) algorithm implementation, while the NESCRYPT crypto-processor efficiently supports the public key algorithm. The AES peripheral ensures secure and fast AES algorithm implementation.

The integrated crypto-accelerators, together with fast clock speed, enable high performance for fast application execution. The product also features hardware architecture with strong and multiple fault-protection mechanisms covering the CPU, memories and buses to facilitate the development of secure software.

The microcontroller is a versatile platform designed for multiple secure applications targeting a broad number of electronics devices. It can support a wide variety of sensitive applications, including those in banking, transport, authentication, biometry, M2M, automotive and more, all from a single device.
