Product details
Overview
A7005CGHN1/T1AGGEL from NXP Semiconductors is a tamper-resistant secure authentication microcontroller featuring the dedicated security-hardened MX51CPU, 76.4 kB EEPROM (MIFARE Config A), JCOP 2.4.2 R1 OS, and integrated ISO/IEC 14443 A contactless interface. It delivers RSA-2048 and ECC-320 cryptographic acceleration, operates from 1.62 V to 5.5 V, and supports I²C slave communication at 100 kbit/s - deployed in embedded secure elements for mobile device authentication.
For engineers reviewing the A7005CGHN1/T1AGGEL datasheet, A7005CGHN1/T1AGGEL pinout, A7005CGHN1/T1AGGEL application, or A7005CGHN1/T1AGGEL equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, package mapping, cryptographic coprocessor capabilities, temperature range (−25 °C to +85 °C), and confirmed MIFARE-compatible contactless interface implementation.
Technical Context
The A7005CGHN1/T1AGGEL implements an asynchronous self-timed handshake architecture for side-channel attack resilience and integrates Secure Fetch Technology to protect ROM/RAM/EEPROM code fetches against laser and fault injection. Its hardware TRNG complies with AIS-31 and feeds PKI operations.
It combines three secure interfaces: I²C slave (100 kbit/s), ISO/IEC 7816 T=0/T=1, and ISO/IEC 14443 A CIU with built-in anticollision and factory-configurable input capacitance for small-loop antenna matching - all managed under JCOP 2.4.2 R1 with GlobalPlatform 2.1.1 compliance.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported RSA key length for A7005CGHN1/T1AGGEL?
A7005CGHN1/T1AGGEL supports RSA keys up to 2048 bits in length, implemented in its dedicated PKI coprocessor. This enables compliance with current NIST SP 800-57 Part 1 Rev. 5 recommendations for digital signature and key establishment. The coprocessor handles modular exponentiation and CRT optimizations in hardware, reducing signature generation time to under 22 ms at 2048-bit strength. A7005CGHN1/T1AGGEL does not support RSA-3072 or larger keys.
Does A7005CGHN1/T1AGGEL include pre-installed firmware, and what version is loaded?
Yes, A7005CGHN1/T1AGGEL ships with JCOP 2.4.2 R1 operating system firmware pre-installed in ROM, along with a factory-provisioned X.509 certificate-based client authentication applet. The JCOP version supports Java Card 3.0.1 Classic and GlobalPlatform 2.1.1 specifications. All cryptographic libraries and security services are embedded at manufacturing; no field flashing is required to achieve baseline secure functionality. A7005CGHN1/T1AGGEL's firmware image is immutable and protected by hardware write locks.
What contactless protocols does A7005CGHN1/T1AGGEL support, and are they enabled by default?
A7005CGHN1/T1AGGEL supports ISO/IEC 14443 Type A (T=CL) contactless communication and MIFARE 1K/4K/Flex protocol layers via its integrated CIU. These features are silicon-enabled and activated by JCOP configuration - no hardware modification is needed. MIFARE compatibility includes built-in anticollision and sector-level access control, and factory-configurable input capacitance allows tuning for compact antenna designs. A7005CGHN1/T1AGGEL does not support ISO/IEC 14443 Type B or NFC Forum Tag Type 4.
Can A7005CGHN1/T1AGGEL operate in low-power sleep mode, and what triggers wake-up?
Yes, A7005CGHN1/T1AGGEL enters a low-power sleep mode drawing 40 µA typical current when I²C pads are configured in weak pull-up mode - preserving bus integrity without external components. Wake-up is triggered exclusively by incoming I²C traffic on SDA/SCL lines, eliminating need for external interrupt signals. The device resumes full operation within 12 µs of valid START condition detection. Sleep mode retains all RAM and EEPROM state, and cryptographic context remains secure throughout.
Is A7005CGHN1/T1AGGEL compatible with ISO/IEC 7816, and which transmission protocols are supported?
Yes, A7005CGHN1/T1AGGEL includes an ISO/IEC 7816-3 compliant contact interface supporting both T=0 and T=1 transmission protocols. This enables direct integration with smart card readers and legacy secure element sockets. The interface operates at standard bit rates up to 5 Mbit/s and includes hardware-level error detection, parity handling, and guard time management per ISO/IEC 7816-3 Annex A. A7005CGHN1/T1AGGEL's 7816 interface is electrically and logically independent from its I²C and contactless interfaces.
