This document introduces Maxim's DeepCover secure processor, which features advanced encryption and physical protection technologies to provide the highest level of protection against physical attacks and reverse engineering.
The guide introduces Maxim's DeepCover security microcontrollers, which combine hardware encryption, physical tamper protection, and secure storage to meet high‑security requirements such as PCI‑PTS 3.1. It highlights the integration of ARM9/ARM926EJ‑S cores, Ethernet, TFT LCD, USB host, and a range of cryptographic engines (AES, 3DES, RSA, DSA, ECDSA, SHA‑1/2/224/256).\n\nA variety of device variants are listed, including the MAX32590, MAX36025, and several MAX‑ series parts with different CPU speeds, memory sizes, and I/O options. The document also describes optional peripherals such as 3.5‑inch TFT displays, NFC, and 1‑Wire EEPROMs, helping designers select the right component for financial, IoT, or other secure embedded systems. This manual is written in Chinese.
