MAXQ1062ETP+

Application Specific Microcontrollers Overview

The MAXQ1062ETP+ is a DeepCover cryptographic controller designed for embedded security applications. It provides hardware-accelerated support for SSL/TLS/DTLS implementations, eliminating the need for custom firmware development. The device features an 8KB user-programmable EEPROM for secure storage of keys and certificates. It supports symmetric-key algorithms including AES-128/-256, asymmetric-key operations using ECC (NIST P-256, -384, -521), and secure hash functions such as SHA-256, -384, and -512. Communication with the host system is facilitated via SPI or I2C interfaces.

Application Specific Microcontrollers Feature Summary

• Integrated TLS/DTLS toolbox supporting key negotiation, authentication, and packet encryption
• Hardware AES engine over SPI enabling stream encryption up to 20Mb/s
• On-chip True Random Number Generator (RNG) for secure key generation
• Tamper detection and life cycle management protocols for physical security

Application Specific Microcontrollers Applications

• Internet of Things (IoT) devices
• Portable medical equipment
• Smart metering systems
• Secure access control mechanisms
• Industrial programmable logic controllers (PLCs)

Application Specific Microcontrollers Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distribution channels. Confirm RoHS compliance status and check for lead-free packaging specifications. Ensure the ordering suffix matches the required tape-and-reel quantity if applicable. Validate that the specific package variant aligns with the target PCB footprint requirements.

Application Specific Microcontrollers Selection Notes

Select the MAXQ1062ETP+ when 8KB of nonvolatile EEPROM storage is sufficient for certificate and key management. Choose this model over the MAXQ1061 if reduced memory capacity meets application needs while maintaining identical cryptographic performance. Verify interface compatibility with either SPI or I2C host controllers before finalizing the design.

Application Specific Microcontrollers Part Context

This component belongs to the MAXQ106x family of DeepCover cryptographic controllers manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. The ETP+ suffix indicates a 20-pin TQFN package configuration. The device serves as a coprocessor to offload security tasks from main microcontrollers in connected embedded systems.

Application Specific Microcontrollers Replacement Considerations

The MAXQ1061EUD+ offers equivalent functionality but includes 32KB of EEPROM instead of 8KB. Both devices share the same core cryptographic capabilities and interface options.
