CEC1734-S0-I/2HW

Application Specific Microcontrollers Overview

The CEC1734-S0-I/2HW is a Real Time Platform Root of Trust Controller from the CEC173x-TFLX Trust Shield Family, designed for servers, telecommunications, and industrial applications. It features a 32-bit 96 MHz ARM Cortex-M4F processor core with closely coupled memory. The device supports up to two SPI flash components via a single QSPI port. It includes hardware security features such as CNSA-based secure boot (P-384), AES256, SHA-384, ECDSA, and a True Random Number Generator compliant with SP800-90B. The controller runs Soteria-G3 firmware, providing NIST 800-193 and OCP compliance.

Application Specific Microcontrollers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's Product Identification System to ensure correct package type and temperature range. Confirm that the S0 variant matches the required pre-provisioned configuration for rapid prototyping. Check for any associated errata sheets relevant to the silicon revision before finalizing procurement specifications.

Application Specific Microcontrollers Selection Notes

Select the CEC1734-S0-I/2HW when a single Application Processor with up to two SPI flash components is required. This 64-pin VFBGA package (2HW) is suitable for designs where only one QSPI port is needed. Ensure the system design accommodates the 5.5x5.5x0.92 mm package dimensions and utilizes the available GPIOs for I2C and reset signals.

Application Specific Microcontrollers Part Context

This component belongs to the CEC173x-TFLX family, which are partially configured and provisioned variants of the CEC173x Trust Shield family. These devices come pre-provisioned with Soteria-G3 firmware to minimize development time. The TFLX line is designed to meet NIST 800-193 Platform Resiliency Guidelines and Open Compute Project Security requirements.

Application Specific Microcontrollers Replacement Considerations

The CEC1736-S0-I/2HW is a compatible alternative within the same package but offers an additional QSPI port for supporting two Application Processors. Verify if the extra port capability is necessary or if the single-port limitation of the CEC1734 model is acceptable for the target application.
