Description ST33F1M
1 Description
1.1 Hardware description
The ST33F1M is a serial access microcontroller designed for secure mobile applications
that incorporates the most recent generation of ARM processors for embedded secure
systems. Its SecurCore® SC300™ 32-bit RISC core is built on the Cortex™ M3 core with
additional security features to help to protect against advanced forms of attacks.
Cadenced at 25MHz, the SC300™ core brings great performance and excellent code
density thanks to the Thumb®-2 instruction set.
The high-speed embedded Flash 1280 Kbyte memory introduces more flexibility to the
system.
The ST33F1M also offers a serial communication interface fully compatible with the ISO/IEC
7816-3 standard (T=0, T=1) and a single-wire protocol (SWP) interface for communication
with a near field communication (NFC) router in SIM/NFC applications.
An SPI Slave interface is also available for communication in non-SIM applications.
Three general purpose 16-bit timers are available; one configurable as a watchdog.
The ST33F1M features hardware accelerators for advanced cryptographic functions. The
EDES peripheral provides a secure DES (Data Encryption Standard) algorithm
implementation, while the NESCRYPT crypto-processor efficiently supports the public key
algorithm.
The ST33F family operates in the –25 to +85°C temperature range and 1.8V, 3V and 5V
supply voltage ranges. A comprehensive range of power-saving modes enables the design
of efficient low-power applications.
In order to meet environmental requirements, ST (also) offers these devices in ECOPACK®
packages. ECOPACK® packages are lead-free. The category of second Level Interconnect
is marked on the package and on the inner box label, in compliance with JEDEC Standard
JESD97. The maximum ratings related to soldering conditions are also marked on the inner
box label.
ECOPACK is an ST trademark. ECOPACK specifications are available at: www.st.com.
