SAN JOSE, Calif., Aug. 01, 2018 – 

Manufacturers of security-sensitive industrial, consumer, computing and internet of things (IoT) devices now have a fast, efficient way to build in secure cryptographic operations, integrate key storage and enable active tamper detection with the MAX32558. As the newest member of the DeepCover^® family of secure microcontrollers from Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. (NASDAQ: MXIM), the MAX32558 offers these robust security features while enabling designers to save up to 50 percent of printed circuit board (PCB) space versus the closest competitor.

As electronic products become smaller and increasingly connected, there is a growing threat to sensitive information and privacy, requiring manufacturers to keep security top of mind when designing their devices. While designers should prevent security breaches at the device level, they often struggle with the tradeoff of enhanced security with minimized board space, as well as with design complexity and meeting time to market goals.

The MAX32558 DeepCover Arm^® Cortex^®-M3 flash-based secure microcontroller solves these challenges by delivering strong security in a small footprint while simplifying design integration and speeding time to market. It integrates several security features into a small package, including secure key storage, a secure bootloader, active tamper detection and secure cryptographic engines. It also supports multiple communications channels such as USB, serial peripheral interface (SPI), universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter (UART) and I²C, making it ideal for a wide range of applications. Maxim's long-standing reputation and experience in payment terminal certifications as well as its established support and technology can help streamline the certification process for customers, reducing the process up to 6 months' time (rather than the typical 12 to 18 months).
