Microchip Technology PIC32CK 32-bit MCUs for Secure Connectivity

Microchip Technology PIC32CK 32-bit Microcontrollers (MCUs) for Secure Connectivity are designed with a 120MHz Arm® Cortex-M33 processor. These devices include the PIC32CK SG0x and PIC32CK GC0x families. PIC32CK MCUs combine connectivity, performance, and industry-leading integrated security options to power industrial, IoT, automotive, and other applications. Packaging options include 144-lead TQFP, 100-lead TQFP and 64-lead TQFP. The PIC32CK GC family provides memory capacities of up to 2MB Flash and 512KB SRAM. Connectivity options include 10/100 Ethernet, Hi-Speed USB, Full-Speed USB, CAN FD, and configurable serial communications. Analog support comprises a peripheral touch controller with 32x channels and a 12-bit ADC with a 3Msps sampling rate.

The PIC32CK SG MCUs add advanced key management, fast cryptographic operations, and authentication for the most demanding automotive, industrial, medical, and communications applications. The integrated Hardware Security Module (HSM) subsystem contains a dedicated CPU, memory, secure DMA controllers, cryptographic accelerators, and firewalled communications with the host. This creates a robust and secure enclave for secure boot, updates, and trusted applications. The addition of Arm’s TrustZone® hardware-enforced security architecture can increase secure data and program regions using the host memory and peripherals.
