Maxim’s MAX36010/11: Integrated Security Supervisors for Rapid IoT Tamper‑Detection & FIPS‑140‑2 Cryptography
IoT designers now have a streamlined path to secure data storage with Maxim Integrated’s MAX36010 and MAX36011 single‑chip security supervisors. These devices embed tamper detection, cryptographic engines, and secure storage into a single package, letting developers protect sensitive information without deep security expertise.
Both parts integrate seamlessly at any design stage—adding them later requires no platform redesign, speeding the design cycle by 60 % and cutting BOM costs by 20 %. Their true‑random‑number generator produces cryptographic keys that are stored in battery‑backed RAM; any tamper event triggers automatic data erasure, satisfying FIPS 140‑2 Levels 3 and 4.
Supported algorithms include 3DES, AES, RSA, and ECDSA. The MAX36010 handles symmetric key generation for AES and 3DES, while the MAX36011 adds asymmetric key support for RSA and ECDSA. Both meet PCI and FIPS 140‑2 certification requirements.
