Atmel - Enhanced ARM926-based eMPUs for encrypted / authorized industrial applications
The next generation of its general-purpose ARM-based embedded microprocessors (eMPUs), optimized for use in industrial applications, has been announced by Atmel.
With the release of the SAM9M11 and SAM9G46 devices, Atmel is delivering tailored solutions for industrial embedded systems that require secured connectivity and authentication of applications via implementation of hardware encryption. The new devices are direct derivatives of the recently announced SAM9G45 and the SAM9M10.
The highly-integrated ARM-based devices are seen as ideal for industrial and building control, HVAC systems, POS terminals, alarm systems, printers and medical equipment. They feature an integrated hardware encryption engine that supports the leading industry standards and comes on top of a true random number generator which passes the NIST Special Publication 800-22 and Diehard Random Tests Suites. As a result, the devices can now address secured networked applications utilizing hardware encryption via AES (256, 192 and 128-bit key algorithm) compliant with the American FIPS publication 197 specification, 3DES (single- or three-key algorithm) compliant with the FIPS PUB 46-3 specification as well as digital signature authentication using SHA1 and SHA256 algorithms compliant with the FIPS Publication 180-2.
"The market for secured communication applications in commercial building automation, alarm systems and POS terminals is shifting towards much higher speeds and significantly lower power consumption," said Jacko Wilbrink, product marketing director, Atmel. "At the same time, developers want to authenticate software downloaded over internet, incorporate fully featured video with a comprehensive set of user interfaces and connectivity options. With its new devices, Atmel is addressing all of these critical design requirements."
In addition to the encryption engine, the SAM9M11 and SAM9G46 offer the same feature set found in the SAM9M10 and SAM9G45, including DDR2 memory support, high-speed serial communication, such as 10/100 Ethernet, HS SDIO/SD/MMC and HS USB 2.0 Host and Device, as well as TFT LCD controller, touchscreen support, and more.
The SAM9G46 and SAM9M11 are supported by a free Linux distribution and Microsoft Windows Embedded CE BSP, including a video driver and GStreamer and DirectShow multimedia frameworks, respectively, says the company.
