ST33H512:32bit ARM SC300 secure core with Mifare ClassicTM Accelerator, Nescrypt cryptoprocessor and SWP, SPI, GPIO interfaces

The ST33H768, ST33H640, ST33H512 and ST33H384 are serial access microcontrollers designed for secure mobile applications that incorporate the most recent generation of ARM® processors for embedded secure systems. Their SecurCore® SC300™ 32-bit RISC core is built on the Cortex® M3 core with additional security features to help to protect against advanced forms of attacks.

The SC300™ core brings great performance and excellent code density thanks to the Thumb®-2 instruction set.

The high-speed embedded Flash memory introduces more flexibility to the system.

The ST33H768, ST33H640, ST33H512 and ST33H384 also offer a serial communication interface fully compatible with the ISO/IEC 7816-3 standard (T=0, T=1) and a single-wire protocol (SWP) interface for communication with a near field communication (NFC) router in SIM/NFC applications.

An SPI Master/Slave interface is also available for communication in non-SIM applications.

The ST33H768, ST33H640, ST33H512 and ST33H384 feature hardware accelerators for advanced cryptographic functions. The EDES peripheral provides a secure DES (Data Encryption Standard) algorithm implementation, while the NESCRYPT cryptoprocessor efficiently supports the public key algorithm. The AES peripheral ensures secure and fast AES algorithm implementation.

The ST33H family operates in the –25 to +85°C temperature range and 1.8 V, 3 V and 5 V supply voltage ranges. A comprehensive range of power-saving modes enables the design of efficient low-power applications.

In order to meet environmental requirements, ST offers these devices in different grades of ECOPACK®packages, depending on their level of environmental compliance. ECOPACK®specifications, grade definitions and product status are available at: www.st.com. ECOPACK®is an ST trademark.
