Microchip's High performance dsPIC33C Digital Signal Controller (DSC) and Low Power PIC24F Microcontroller (MCU) with its ATECC608 CryptoAuthentication and TrustAnchor100 (TA100) The combination of CryptoAutomotive security ics provides robust system-level security. The dsPIC33C DSC and PIC24F MCU provide high performance, low power and application specific feature sets for low power safety, sensor interface, real-time control, functional safety, digital power conversion, Qi wireless charging and motor control applications.

     Protecting embedded systems with strong security is critical in IoT (Internet of Things), automotive, healthcare, consumer, wireless, industrial, and other connectivity designs. There are many security standards and they are evolving to meet the requirements of iot applications. Many automotive original equipment Manufacturers (Oems) build security into their design specifications to protect electronic control units (ECUs) in connected vehicles from attack. Markets and applications have similar requirements for security specifications, including unique passwords for all devices (no default passwords), secure storage for isolating sensitive encryption keys, firmware verification at startup to ensure integrity before and after performing software updates, and secure communication between the device or ECUs and the outside world.

     Users can easily meet design requirements with a range of DSC/MCU devices with ICSP™ write disable Flash OTP and CodeGuard™ flash security features. Security features of PIC24F MCU and dsPIC33C DSC protect against remote digital attacks, while CryptoAuthentication and CryptoAutomotive IC provide additional security through physical tamper-proof and side-channel attack protection, To block access to embedded system credentials. Some devices offer integrated true random number generation (TRNG), pseudo-random number generation (PRNG), and AES-256 accelerators with private key slots.
