SecurCore SC100

ask ARM*
*
The SecurCore® SC100 core macrocell provides a low cost route to migrate existing low performance 8 and 16-bit smart card products to the 32-bit ARM platform. The SecurCore family supports the ARM and Thumb® instruction sets, integrated memory protection unit and many specific security features.

The SecurCore family is a range of low-power 32-bit RISC microprocessors optimized for smart card and secure applications. Other members of the SecurCore family include the SC200 processor which incorporates Jazelle® technology acceleration for Java Card applications.

  ARM SC100

Applications:
  • Smart Cards
  • SIM
  • Banking
  • Medical
  • Pay TV

Features:

  • Fully synthesizable design
  • Randomized processor layout based on customer design specifications
  • Advanced, secure debugging and test methodology
  • One-way development process to ensure security during development
  • Controlled access to design stages via flexible software and emulation solutions
  • Memory Protection Unit performs memory management type functions securely
  • Specific counter-measures to help prevent analysis of current flows
  • Energy and space-saving features, including ARM Thumb technology for code compression
  • Rapid ASIC or ASSP integration with reduced time-to-market

Benefits:

  • Application of 32-bit processing through a compact synthesizable processor

Core area, frequency range and power consumption are dependent on process, libraries and optimizations. The numbers quoted above are illustrative of synthesized cores using general purpose TSMC process technologies and ARM Artisan standard cell libraries and RAMs.

The speed optimized implementations refer to the library choices and synthesis flow decisions and tradeoffs made in order to achieve the target frequency performance. The area optimized implementations refer to the library choices and synthesis flow decisions and tradeoffs made in order to achieve a target area density.

* Worst case conditions –   0.18µm process - 1.62V, 125C, slow silicon ;  0.13µm process - 1.08V, 125C, slow silicon
† Typical case conditions– 0.18µm process–1.8V, 25C, typical silicon ;  0.13µm process - 1.2V, 25C, typical silicon
