Summary points:
- Microcontrollers from Infineon meet PQC requirements for firmware protection, ensuring enhanced security for industrial applications.
- These microcontrollers integrate advanced cryptographic techniques, including larger AES keys and SHA hash sizes, replacing outdated ECC-based security.
- Designed for motor control, power conversion, and applications in EV charging, telecommunications, and solar power, these microcontrollers offer high switching frequencies and real-time control.
MUNICH – Infineon Technologies AG in Munich is introducing microcontrollers that comply with Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) requirements for firmware protection outlined in the Commercial National Security Algorithm (CNSA) Suite 2.0 to meet the security needs of industrial applications.
These microcontrollers also comply with Platform Security Architecture (PSA) Level 3. PQC security changes include replacing Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) based asymmetric cryptography, as well as increasing the size of Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) keys and Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA) hash sizes.
The PSOC Control C3 microcontrollers provide real-time control for motor control and power conversion. These microcontrollers enable system performance at high switching frequencies and increase control loop bandwidth with proprietary autonomous hardware accelerators high resolution and high performing analog peripheral support.
Wide-bandgap switches
The family supports systems designed with wide-bandgap switches while controlling loop frequencies, accuracy, and efficiency for data centers, telecommunications, solar power, and electric vehicle (EV) charging.
Security features include support for Leighton-Micali Hash-Based Signatures (LMS). For more information contact Infineon Technologies online at www.infineon.com/products/microcontroller/32-bit-psoc-arm-cortex/32-bit-psoc-control-arm-cortex-m33-mcu/psoc-control-c3-performance-line.
