Enhanced security and compact footprint for server, IoT and edge
NuMicro® M2354 is an Arm® TrustZone® microcontroller based on the Armv8-M architecture and powered by the Arm® Cortex®-M23 CPU, designed to enhance IoT security. It is suitable for long-term confidentiality requirements and highly sensitive data protection scenarios.
The M2354 operates at frequencies up to 96 MHz, offers a wide operating voltage range of 1.7V to 3.6V, and a broad operating temperature range of -40°C to +105°C. The power consumption is 89.3 μA/MHz in LDO mode and 39.6 μA/MHz in DC-DC mode. The Standby Power-down mode consumes less than 2 µA, and the Deep Power-down mode without VBAT consumes less than 0.1 µA, effectively extending the device's battery life and meeting the needs of long-term IoT operation.
For Secure FOTA, the M2354 has built-in dual-bank Flash Memory of up to 1024 KB and 256 KB of SRAM. In addition to supporting eXecute-Only-Memory (XOM) to prevent code theft, it also integrates a cryptographic hardware accelerator that supports FIPS PUB 197/180/180-2/180-4 and NIST SP 800-38A, as well as a hardware key store to protect against side-channel and fault injection attacks. In terms of secure boot mechanism, the upgraded M2354 supports the Root of Trust architecture based on DICE, implemented in Mask ROM, and supports ECDSA P-521. This feature automatically generates a unique device identity and establishes a chain of trust during boot, effectively verifying firmware version and preventing firmware rollback and tampering attacks. Furthermore, M2354 is compliant with PSA Level 3 and SESIP Level 3 security certifications, which meet the demands of the EU's Cyber Resilience Act (CRA).
