SE050B2HQ1/Z01SFZ

Specialized ICS Overview

The SE050B2HQ1/Z01SFZ is an IoT secure element from NXP Semiconductors, designed to provide a root of trust at the IC level. It operates within a supply voltage range of 1.62 V to 3.6 V and supports an extended industrial temperature range of -40 °C to +105 °C. The device features Common Criteria EAL 6+ certification and FIPS 140-2 Security Level 3. It includes RSA and ECC asymmetric cryptography, AES/3DES symmetric algorithms, and 50 kB of secured user flash memory. Communication occurs via an I²C interface supporting High-Speed mode up to 3.4 MHz. The component is housed in a 20-HX2QFN (3x3 mm) package.

Specialized ICS Procurement Notes

Verify the specific configuration suffix Z01SFZ against the official SE050 Application Note AN12436 or NXP ordering information tables to confirm enabled features and key provisioning options. Ensure the host system supports the required I²C clock frequencies and voltage levels within the 1.62 V to 3.6 V operating range.

Specialized ICS Selection Notes

Select this variant if the application requires the B2 configuration option as defined in the SE050 naming convention. Confirm compatibility with the HX2QFN20 package dimensions (3x3 mm). Verify that the host controller can handle the T=1 over I²C protocol encapsulation used by the SE050 IoT applet.

Specialized ICS Part Context

This part belongs to the EdgeLock SE050 Plug & Trust Secure Element family. It is a turnkey solution pre-installed with a Java Card operating system and an IoT-optimized applet. The platform is designed for easy integration with various MCU/MPU platforms and operating systems like Linux, RTOS, and Android.

Specialized ICS Replacement Considerations

Other variants within the SE050 family, such as SE050A2HQ1/Z01SH or SE050C2HQ1/Z01SD, are pin-compatible but may have different feature sets or key provisioning options. Consult the SE050 ordering information table for exact functional differences.
