In November 2012, Maxim Integrated Products Inc launched the MAX32590, which the company claims is the most secure and highly integrated microcontroller.
Features and USP: As a single-chip secure microcontroller, the MAX32590 represents a major advance over prior designs that required numerous additional discrete components for financial terminals. The MAX32590 has more connectivity options, and its improved security features comply with the industry’s newest security requirements. External memory encryption and integrity checking help to simplify systems integration, and provide better IP protection and stronger overall protection against attacks. The high level of integration shrinks the design size and significantly lowers implementation costs. A full financial terminal reference design based on the MAX32590 speeds up the design’s time to market.
