PRODUCT SHOWCASE Nordic Semiconductor announces the nRF54 series The nRF54H20 is the first SoC (System on a Chip) in the nRF54 Series. It is ideal for IoT applications demanding high processing power, excellent energy efficiency and state-of-the-art security. It is capable of supporting Bluetooth 5.4 and future specifications, plus LE Audio, Bluetooth mesh, Thread, Matter and more. The nRF54H20 boasts multiple ARM Cortex-M33 processors and multiple RISC-V co-processors. The processors are clocked at up to 320MHz, and each processor is optimised for specific workloads. The nRF54H20’s integrated memory is comprised of 2MB of non-volatile memory and 1MB of RAM. The SoC’s high level of integration enables developers to shrink their designs by replacing multiple components with a single device. In addition to wearables, smart homes, medical and LE Audio applications, the nRF54H20 SoC is an ideal solution for machine learning and sensor fusion. The nRF54H20 features several new digital and analog interfaces, including a high-performance external memory interface (400MBps), high-speed USB (480Mbps), two I3C peripherals, a CAN FD controller and a 14-bit ADC. A 2.4GHz radio ensures the nRF54H20 SoC is the first in the world to offer -100dBm receive (RX) sensitivity when receiving a 1Mbps Bluetooth LE signal. Combined with up to 10dBm transmit (TX) power, the nRF54H20 offers an ample link budget for enhanced robustness and longer range. The nRF54H20 SoC is now available to selected customers for sampling.

As counterfeits become prevalent across many industries, implementing embedded trust in many designs is critical. The devices are supported by the Trust Platform Design Suite, a dedicated software tool used to onboard these ICs with Microchip’s secure key provisioning service. The scalable service enables cryptographic assets to be provisioned for projects of virtually any size across applications like consumer and medical disposables, automotive and industrial accessory ecosystems, wireless charging and data centres. Five of the ICs are hardware-based secure storage intended to keep keys hidden from unauthorised attackers: 1. ECC204: ECC-P256 signature and Hash-based Message Authentication Code (HMAC) 2. ECC206: Two-pin parasitic power, ECC-P256 signature and HMAC 3. SHA104: Client SHA256 MAC 4. SHA105: Host SHA256 CheckMAC 5. SHA106: Two-pin parasitic power and client SHA256 MAC The last device (TA010) is an AECQ100 grade 1-qualified CryptoAutomotive IC with an ECC signature and HMAC. It enables OEMs to implement secure authentication into their design without costly modifications. Microchip’s security products are compatible with any MPU or MCU and can be used as companion devices to Microchip’s PIC & AVR MCUs and ARM core-based MPUs and MCUs. The new secure authentication ICs are supported by Microchip’s Trust Platform Design Suite, MPLAB X IDE, product-specific evaluation boards and CryptoAuthLib library support.

The AVR64EA microcontrollers have an AVR CPU with a hardware multiplier and run at up to 20MHz. They have 64KB of Flash, 6KB of SRAM and 512B of EEPROM, and feature a 12-bit differential ADC with a programmable gain amplifier with up to 16× gain. The AVR64EA 8-Bit AVR micro enables measurement of smaller siliconchip.com.au amplitude signals, reclaims signals from noisy environments and performs fast conversions for quick and accurate signals in harsh environments, all with low-power efficiency. The devices are offered in SPDIP, SSOP, TQFP and VQFN packages ranging from 28 to 48 pins, with an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. They are supported by the AVR64EA48 Curiosity Nano evaluation kit (EV66E56A), available to Australia's electronics magazine order at Mouser. No external tools are necessary to program or debug the AVR64EA48 in this kit. To learn more, visit: siliconchip.au/link/ablh siliconchip.au/link/abli Mouser Electronics (HK) Ltd.
