A 32-bit MAXQ30 core powers the cryptographically secure MAXQ1103. Applications are supported with 512KB of high-performance internal flash memory for code/data storage and 32KB SRAM. Up to 8MB of additional external program and data memory is supported through a dedicated word-wide memory bus with programmable wait states. Additional peripherals such as serial I/O, 16-bit timers, hardware math accelerator, ISO 7816 UART, and a USB controller increase system utility while reducing component count.
System security is enhanced by the addition of high-speed cryptographic hardware accelerators for ECDSA, DSA, RSA, Secure Hash Algorithm, and triple-key 3DES. The embedded hash engine supports multiple hash functions recommended by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The true hardware random-number generator (RNG) supports FIPS 186-2 with an available software library.
