RNG90-MAVDA-T

Specialized ICS Overview

The RNG90-MAVDA-T is a FIPS-certified Random Number Generator (RNG) from Microchip Technology, designed for high-security applications requiring certified true random number generation. It operates within an industrial temperature range of up to +105°C and supports I2C communication interfaces. The device is housed in an 8-UDFN package with dimensions of 2x3 mm, featuring an exposed pad for thermal management and grounding. Supplied in Tape & Reel packaging, this component provides hardware-based entropy sources compliant with Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS), ensuring robust randomness for cryptographic key generation and secure boot processes in embedded systems.

Specialized ICS Feature Summary

• FIPS-certified True Random Number Generator (TRNG)
• Industrial temperature rating up to +105°C
• I2C interface for digital communication
• Compact 8-UDFN (2x3 mm) surface-mount package

Specialized ICS Applications

• Cryptographic key generation in secure elements
• Secure boot and attestation systems
• IoT devices requiring certified randomness
• Hardware security modules (HSMs)

Specialized ICS Procurement Notes

Verify the specific FIPS certification level and compliance documentation directly with Microchip Technology or authorized distributors before integration. Confirm that the I2C address configuration matches the system design requirements. Ensure the 8-UDFN footprint aligns with the PCB layout guidelines provided in the official datasheet to maintain signal integrity and thermal performance.

Specialized ICS Selection Notes

Select the RNG90-MAVDA-T when FIPS-compliant hardware randomness is mandatory for regulatory or security standards. Compare against other Microchip CryptoAuthentication devices if additional features like MAC generation or symmetric key storage are required alongside RNG functionality. Consider the +105°C operating limit for high-temperature environments compared to standard commercial grade components.

Specialized ICS Part Context

This component belongs to Microchip's specialized security IC portfolio, focusing on hardware-based trust and randomness. Unlike general-purpose microcontrollers, it serves as a dedicated entropy source for cryptographic operations. The 'MAVDA' suffix indicates the specific temperature grade, package type, and tape/reel packaging configuration.

Specialized ICS Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must offer equivalent FIPS certification and I2C compatibility. Check Microchip's current product lifecycle status for availability. Alternative RNG solutions may require software post-processing if they lack hardware certification.
