Maxim's 32-bit microcontrollers provide the cornerstone for building robust devices in the Internet of Things (IoT) age. Ultra-low power operation helps maximize battery life, small footprints enable ubiquitous use, and best-in-class security protects your investment.

Maxim's ultra-low-power, 32-bit microcontroller devices combine the biggest embedded memories of any MCUs in their class with ultra-efficient power management.Maxim's extensive range of highly integrated Arm® microcontrollers are designed to provide maximum performance with minimal power consumption. Features include a modular arithmetic accelerator (MAA) with a hardware entropy source for advanced security, a dual-core MCU option with ample processing power for high-performance multitasking, and integrated BLE 5.0 allowing interconnection of devices on one chip.

Maxim's secure 32-bit microcontrollers integrate advanced cryptography and physical security to provide the highest level of protection against side-channel attacks, physical tampering, and reverse engineering. Features include integrated secure nvSRAM memory that is instantly erased when an intrusion is detected and patented real-time data encryption that ensures external memory is fully protected. MCUs are available in a range of package/pin types conforming to EMV, PCI, and FIPS standards.

ChipDNA-generated keys derived from a physically unclonable function (PUF) provide an unprecedented level of protection against sophisticated invasive attacks, meaningMaxim's ChipDNA™ PUF technology delivers the highest level of IoT security.

Secure Microcontrollers

Advanced Cryptography Meets Physical Layer Security to Protect your IP and Digital Assets

Maxim's secure microcontrollers provide ongoing protection for your digital assets and intellectual property (IP) against continuously emerging threats.Maxim's secure MCU ICs employ FIPS-certified, hardware cryptographic engines which support industry-standard algorithms. Advanced cryptography, combined with physical layer security, means that when you select a secure microcontroller fromMaxim's diverse offering, you are guaranteed the highest level of protection against side-channel attacks, physical tampering, and reverse engineering.

Other notable features ofMaxim's secure microcontrollers include:

Integrated secure memory (NV SRAM) that is instantly erased when an intrusion is detected

Patented real-time code and data encryption that fully protects external memory

Hardware that conforms to EMV, PCI, and FIPS standards

Secure boot and ChipDNA™ PUF technology that protect IoT designs against hacker attacks

Ultra-Low Power Microcontrollers

DARWIN is the name we give toMaxim's extensive range of Arm® microcontrollers, which are designed to provide maximum performance with minimal power consumption. This range of highly integrated, secure, ultra-low-power microcontrollers provide a choice of memory size and cores, giving you the flexibility to pick the microcontroller that best suits your application. Notable features of this range of ultra-low-power microcontrollers include:

Energy Efficient: The ultra-low-power active/retention modes (SRAM maintained) of the MCUs maximize the uptime of battery-powered devices

High Performance: With up to 3MB flash, 1MB SRAM, scalable memory architecture and multi core options, these ultra-low-power microcontrollers are capable of storing, processing, and acting on the vast amounts of data used by these devices.

Security & Reliability: Using a modular arithmetic accelerator (MAA) with a hardware entropy source for advanced security features (AES, ECDSA, RSA, DSA, TRNG) while providing support for secure boot loading, the level of security provided by these microcontrollers is comparable to those used by financial and government institutions.

Smart Integration: Feature-rich microcontrollers available in miniscule packages save real estate in your design.

Wireless Connectivity: Wireless protocols like BLE 5 allows interconnection of devices without needing to rely on a separate chip.
