Product details
Overview
A7001CUHN1/T1AAKEL from NXP Semiconductors is a tamper-resistant secure microcontroller (MCU) built on the security-hardened MX51 CPU core, delivering Java Card Open Platform (JCOP) 2.4.2 R1 OS, 76.4 kB EEPROM, I²C slave interface (100 kbit/s), and hardware-accelerated cryptographic coprocessors for RSA-2048, ECC-320, AES-128/192/256, and triple-DES - deployed in embedded authentication for mobile, IoT, and industrial secure element applications.
For engineers reviewing the A7001CUHN1/T1AAKEL datasheet, A7001CUHN1/T1AAKEL pinout, A7001CUHN1/T1AAKEL application, or A7001CUHN1/T1AAKEL equivalent, key selection criteria include its -25 °C to +85 °C operating range, 40 µA sleep current with weak-pull I²C bus preservation, JCOP V3.0.1 classic compliance, GlobalPlatform 2.1.1 support, and die-specific X.509 certificate pre-provisioning.
Technical Context
The A7001CUHN1/T1AAKEL 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 CPU executes Java Card applets under JCOP 2.4.2 R1 while enforcing memory isolation via hardware MMU and ACM.
Hardware cryptographic acceleration includes a PKI coprocessor supporting RSA up to 2048-bit and ECC over GF(p) up to 320-bit, a secured triple-DES coprocessor resistant to first-order DPA, and an AES engine with 128-bit parallel processing - all operating within a 1.62–5.5 V supply range and internally generated 62 MHz CPU clock.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range supported by the A7001CUHN1/T1AAKEL?
The A7001CUHN1/T1AAKEL operates across a wide supply range of 1.62 V to 5.5 V, enabling direct integration with diverse host platforms including battery-powered IoT sensors, USB-powered peripherals, and industrial 3.3 V/5 V control systems without level-shifting. This flexibility simplifies power architecture design while maintaining full cryptographic performance and EEPROM reliability across the entire voltage window.
Does the A7001CUHN1/T1AAKEL include pre-provisioned cryptographic keys and certificates?
Yes, the A7001CUHN1/T1AAKEL is delivered with die-specific X.509 certificates and associated private keys securely generated and programmed in a Common Criteria-certified NXP internal environment using Hardware Security Modules (HSMs). This trust provisioning eliminates the need for customer-side key generation infrastructure and enables immediate deployment of TLS client authentication or digital signing workflows upon first power-up.
Is the A7001CUHN1/T1AAKEL compatible with Java Card applet development tools?
Yes, the A7001CUHN1/T1AAKEL fully supports the JCOP 2.4.2 R1 platform and is compatible with NXP's JCOP Tools plug-in for Eclipse IDE, enabling Java Card applet development, debugging, and loading via standard APDU commands. Developers can leverage the full Java Card 3.0.1 Classic API set, GlobalPlatform 2.1.1 management, and JCOPX extensions including IO configuration and Secure Box native code execution.
What security certifications apply to the A7001CUHN1/T1AAKEL?
The A7001CUHN1/T1AAKEL implements security features aligned with Common Criteria EAL5+ requirements, including certified countermeasures against SPA/DPA (licensed from Cryptography Research), Secure Fetch Technology, active shielding, and asynchronous handshake logic. While the specific A7001CUHN1/T1AAKEL variant does not carry an individual CC certificate, it inherits the security architecture validated in the broader A700x family certification scope and meets foundational requirements for EMVCo, FIDO2, and GlobalPlatform compliance.
Can the A7001CUHN1/T1AAKEL operate in low-power modes for battery-constrained applications?
Yes, the A7001CUHN1/T1AAKEL achieves 40 µA typical sleep current with I²C pads in weak pull-up mode - allowing it to remain connected to an I²C bus without disrupting communication for other devices. Wake-up occurs automatically on any I²C address match or START condition, enabling rapid resumption of cryptographic operations while minimizing average system power consumption in intermittently active edge devices.
