Product details
Overview
A7001CGHN1/T1AGAEL from NXP Semiconductors is a tamper-resistant secure authentication microcontroller based on the hardened MX51CPU core, featuring 76.4 kB EEPROM, JCOP 2.4.2 R1 Java Card OS, and hardware-accelerated cryptographic coprocessors (RSA-2048, ECC-320, AES-128/192/256, triple-DES). It operates from 1.62 V to 5.5 V, draws 40 µA in sleep mode with I²C weak pull-up, and supports I²C slave interface at 100 kbit/s - deployed in embedded secure elements for mobile device authentication.
For engineers reviewing the A7001CGHN1/T1AGAEL datasheet, A7001CGHN1/T1AGAEL pinout, A7001CGHN1/T1AGAEL application, or A7001CGHN1/T1AGAEL equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, package mapping, cryptographic capability details, temperature range (-25 °C to +85 °C), and real-world deployment constraints for secure element integration into host systems requiring FIPS-aligned PKI operations and X.509 client authentication.
Technical Context
The A7001CGHN1/T1AGAEL implements an asynchronous self-timed handshake architecture to resist timing-based side-channel attacks and integrates Secure Fetch Technology to protect ROM/RAM/EEPROM code fetches against laser and light fault injection. Its dedicated MX51 security CPU executes Java Card 3.0.1 classic bytecode under JCOP 2.4.2 R1 with GlobalPlatform 2.1.1 compliance.
Hardware cryptographic acceleration includes a public-key coprocessor supporting RSA up to 2048-bit and ECC over GF(p) up to 320-bit, plus secured symmetric engines for AES (128/192/256-bit), triple-DES (2-/3-key), and SHA-256 - all operating within a low-power, 62 MHz CPU clock domain and validated for AIS-31–compliant TRNG output.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar secure authentication microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| A7002CGHN1/T1AGAEL | Extended temperature range (−40 °C to +90 °C); identical EEPROM, crypto engines, and JCOP OS | Required for automotive under-hood or outdoor industrial deployments where ambient exceeds +85 °C | Select when environmental qualification demands wider thermal tolerance - same pinout and firmware compatibility |
| A7003CGHN1/T1AGAEL | Adds ISO/IEC 7816 contact interface; retains I²C but removes I²C-only optimization of A7001 | Needed for dual-interface smart card readers or hybrid contact/contactless systems requiring T=0/T=1 protocol support | Choose only if legacy smart card infrastructure integration is mandatory - increases BOM complexity and layout footprint |
Compared with A7001CGHN1/T1AGAEL, the A7002CGHN1/T1AGAEL extends operational reliability to harsh thermal environments without altering cryptographic capability or software stack, while the A7003CGHN1/T1AGAEL trades I²C simplicity for contact interface flexibility - making A7001CGHN1/T1AGAEL optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained embedded designs prioritizing pure I²C integration.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported RSA key length for A7001CGHN1/T1AGAEL?
The A7001CGHN1/T1AGAEL supports RSA key lengths up to 2048 bits via its dedicated PKI coprocessor. This capability is explicitly confirmed in the A700x family short data sheet Rev. 3.1 and aligns with EMVCo and GlobalPlatform certification requirements. The A7001CGHN1/T1AGAEL does not support RSA-3072 or larger keys, as its hardware accelerator is fixed at 2048-bit modulus processing.
Does A7001CGHN1/T1AGAEL support ISO/IEC 14443 contactless communication?
No, the A7001CGHN1/T1AGAEL does not support ISO/IEC 14443 contactless communication. Per Table 4 of the A700x family feature table, only A7005 and A7006 product types include the ISO/IEC 14443 A Contactless Interface Unit (CIU). The A7001CGHN1/T1AGAEL is I²C-only and lacks both CIU hardware and associated antenna driver circuitry.
What is the guaranteed EEPROM endurance and retention for A7001CGHN1/T1AGAEL?
The A7001CGHN1/T1AGAEL guarantees minimum EEPROM endurance of 500,000 write/erase cycles and data retention of 25 years at +55 °C ambient, as specified in Table 2 (Quick reference data) of the official short data sheet. These values are measured under worst-case voltage and temperature conditions and apply to the full 76.4 kB user-accessible EEPROM space.
Can A7001CGHN1/T1AGAEL operate with a 3.3 V host system?
Yes, the A7001CGHN1/T1AGAEL operates reliably with a 3.3 V host system. Its 1.62 V to 5.5 V supply voltage range fully encompasses 3.3 V ±10%, and its I²C interface complies with standard open-drain signaling - requiring only appropriate pull-up resistors on SDA/SCL lines referenced to the host's 3.3 V rail.
Is JCOP 2.4.2 R1 pre-installed on A7001CGHN1/T1AGAEL?
Yes, JCOP 2.4.2 R1 is factory-preinstalled on the A7001CGHN1/T1AGAEL as confirmed in Section 1.1 and Table 4 of the A700x family documentation. This includes the Java Card 3.0.1 classic virtual machine, GlobalPlatform 2.1.1 framework, and the X.509 certificate-based client authentication applet - all delivered as functional firmware ready for immediate applet loading.
