DS3640
DeepCover Security Manager with I2C Interface and 1KB
Nonimprinting Battery-Backed Encryption Key SRAM
119-0008; Rev 10; 6/17
General Description
DeepCover® embedded security solutions cloak-sen-
sitive data under multiple layers of advanced physical
security to provide the most secure key storage possible.
The DeepCover Security Manager (DS3640) is a secure
supervisor with 1024 bytes of SRAM for applications
requiring the secure storage of encryption keys, includ-
ing POS terminals. The 1KB key memory is constantly
complemented in the background to prevent oxide
stress and memory imprint-ing. In the event of a
qualified tamper event, the key memory is rapidly
cleared.
The device includes a real-time clock (RTC), CPU super-
visor, watchdog timer, and on-chip temperature sensor.
In the event of a primary power failure, an external
bat-tery source is automatically switched in to keep the
key memory, RTC, and tamper-detection circuitry active.
The DS3640 provides low-leakage tamper-detection
inputs for interface to external sensors, interlocks,
and anti-tamper meshes. The DS3640 will also invoke
a tamper event if the backup battery drops below a
specified threshold, absolute temperature or
temperature rate-of-change exceeds programmed
limits, or crystal-oscillator frequency falls outside a
specified window. The tamper event is latched and
time stamped for future debugging purposes.
Access to the RTC, tamper monitoring, key memory,
and device configuration is conducted through an I2C-
compatible interface. The DS3640 is assembled in
a Pb-free CSBGA package, which enhances key
security in that the leads are not exposed to the outer
edges of the package.
