The CryptoAuth Trust Platform is a compact hardware evaluation kit that can be used with the Trust Platform Development Suite (TPDS) and other software tools. This kit is used for exploring and implementing solutions for the IoT space with a pre-provisioned ATECC608B Trust&GO, pre-configured ATECC608B TrustFLEX and fully customizable ATECC608B TrustCUSTOM products. The Trust&GO and TrustFLEX products have been developed to allow for an easy way to add hardware security to IoT Cloud solutions, accessory authentication, IP Protection, and firmware verification.

Using these kits with the Microchip development tools and Microchip provisioning systems allows for even low volume projects to easily implement secure authentication into their application. The user guide provides a physical overview of connections, components and switch settings implemented on the board.

The CryptoAuth Trust Platform consists of ATSAMD21E18A that is the main MCU which comes pre-programmed with Microchip`s Secure Product Group (SPG) kit protocol. A low-power, high-performance Microchip's ARM® Cortex®-M0+ based Flash microcontroller, the ATSAMD21E18 is ideal for a wide range of home automation, consumer, metering, and industrial applications. This protocol takes care of the communication between the CryptoAuthenticationTM devices and the host MCU over the USB HID interface. The data transfer between the secure elements and the host MCU is indicated by the Status LED.

The kit supports mikroBUSTM for easy connection to MikroElectronika add-on boards such as the EV92R58A Development board, which is an accessory board for evaluating the ECC204, a new member of the CryptoAuthentication product family. The device is targeted for disposable and ecosystem control applications and is intended to be used as a companion device with Microchip or other vendors’ microcontrollers.

Highlights

  • Using high-precision architectures enables superior DC performance, regardless of operating conditions
  • Low noise and additional EMI filtering on the inputs provide additional protection in electrically noisy environments
  • Small packages, such as leadless DFNs, are ideal for space-constrained designs
  • A wide operating temperature range of –40°C to +125°C provides a robust solution even at extreme temperatures

Microchip Instrumentation Amplifier with mCAL Technology

The MCP6N11 and MCP6V2x Wheatstone Bridge Reference Design demonstrates the performance of Microchip's MCP6N11 instrumentation amplifier (INA) and a traditional three op amp INA using Microchip's MCP6V26 and MCP6V27 auto-zeroed op amps. The input signal comes from an RTD temperature sensor in a Wheatstone bridge. Real world interference is added to the bridge's output, to provide realistic performance comparisons. Data is gathered and displayed on a PC, for ease of use. The USB PIC® microcontroller and included Graphical User Interface (GUI) provides the means to configure the board and collect sample data.
