Product details
Overview
A7004CMHN1/T1AGBEL from NXP Semiconductors is a tamper-resistant secure authentication microcontroller featuring the dedicated MX51 security CPU, 76.4 kB EEPROM, I²C slave interface (100 kbit/s), ISO/IEC 7816 contact interface, and JCOP 2.4.2 R1 operating system. It operates from −40 °C to +90 °C and delivers hardware-accelerated cryptographic services including RSA-2048, ECC-320, AES-128/192/256, and triple-DES for embedded secure element applications in industrial authentication systems.
For engineers reviewing the A7004CMHN1/T1AGBEL datasheet, A7004CMHN1/T1AGBEL pinout, A7004CMHN1/T1AGBEL application, or A7004CMHN1/T1AGBEL equivalent, key selection criteria include its extended temperature range, dual-interface support (I²C + ISO/IEC 7816), on-chip X.509 client authentication applet, certified secure key provisioning, and compliance with Java Card 3.0.1 Classic and GlobalPlatform 2.1.1 standards.
Technical Context
The A7004CMHN1/T1AGBEL implements an asynchronous self-timed handshake architecture to resist timing-based side-channel attacks and integrates active shielding with NXP glue logic to counteract physical probing. Its Secure Fetch Technology protects ROM/RAM/EEPROM code fetches against laser and light fault injection.
It embeds three hardened cryptographic coprocessors: PKI (RSA/ECC), AES (128-bit parallel), and triple-DES - all operating under JCOP 2.4.2 R1's OS-controlled access model. The device supports die-specific key/certificate pre-provisioning in a Common Criteria-certified environment and enables host-side authentication via standardized APDUs.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar secure authentication microcontroller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| A7003CMHN1/T1AGBEL | Same package and core, but rated for −25 °C to +85 °C only; identical I²C + ISO/IEC 7816 feature set | Limited to commercial/indoor environments; lacks extended temperature qualification | Select when ambient conditions remain within −25 °C to +85 °C and cost sensitivity outweighs thermal margin needs |
| A7006CMHN1/T1AGBEL | Adds ISO/IEC 14443 A contactless interface and MIFARE compatibility; same −40 °C to +90 °C rating and JCOP 2.4.2 R1 OS | Supports dual-interface (contact + contactless) use cases like hybrid smart cards or NFC-enabled authenticators | Select when contactless reader interoperability or MIFARE infrastructure integration is required alongside contact interface |
Compared with A7003CMHN1/T1AGBEL, A7004CMHN1/T1AGBEL provides critical extended temperature operation for ruggedized deployments; compared with A7006CMHN1/T1AGBEL, it omits contactless hardware to reduce BOM cost and simplify layout where only contact interfaces are needed.

The A7004CMHN1/T1AGBEL supports RSA key lengths up to 2048 bits in its hardware-accelerated PKI coprocessor. This enables strong asymmetric cryptography for TLS 1.2 handshakes, code signing verification, and X.509 certificate validation - all executed securely within the tamper-resistant boundary of the A7004CMHN1/T1AGBEL device.
Does A7004CMHN1/T1AGBEL include pre-installed application firmware?
Yes, A7004CMHN1/T1AGBEL includes a pre-installed X.509 certificate-based client authentication application compliant with Java Card 3.0.1 Classic and GlobalPlatform 2.1.1. This applet is factory-programmed and ready for immediate use in TLS mutual authentication flows without requiring custom applet development or personalization.
What package type does A7004CMHN1/T1AGBEL use?
A7004CMHN1/T1AGBEL uses the HVQFN32 package (SOT617-1): a 32-terminal, leadless plastic thermal-enhanced very thin quad flat package measuring 5 mm × 5 mm × 0.85 mm. This surface-mount package supports automated assembly and provides thermal performance suitable for sustained cryptographic operation.
Can A7004CMHN1/T1AGBEL operate outside standard commercial temperature ranges?
Yes, A7004CMHN1/T1AGBEL is rated for −40 °C to +90 °C operational ambient temperature, making it suitable for industrial control cabinets, outdoor gateways, and automotive under-hood applications. This extended range is confirmed in Table 4 of the A700x family datasheet and differentiates it from A7001/A7003 variants.
How is cryptographic key material provisioned on A7004CMHN1/T1AGBEL?
Each A7004CMHN1/T1AGBEL unit undergoes die-specific key and certificate generation in a Common Criteria-certified NXP secure environment. Master keys reside in Hardware Security Modules (HSMs), and RSA/ECC keys plus X.509 certificates are individually programmed into secure memory - ensuring no two units share identical credentials.
