Product details
Overview
SLE 66CX322P M5.1 from Infineon Technologies is a 16-bit security controller with integrated DES/3DES/AES cryptographic accelerators, 32 KB embedded Flash, and ISO 7816-3 compliant smart card interface. It operates at up to 25 MHz, supports secure boot via ROM-based loader, and is deployed in EMV-compliant payment terminals and SIM card modules.
For engineers reviewing the SLE 66CX322P M5.1 datasheet, SLE 66CX322P M5.1 pinout, SLE 66CX322P M5.1 application, or SLE 66CX322P M5.1 equivalent, key selection criteria include cryptographic algorithm support, secure memory partitioning, ISO 7816 timing compliance, and tamper-resistant design features per Common Criteria EAL5+.
Technical Context
This device implements a dedicated 16-bit C166S core with hardware-assisted crypto engines for symmetric encryption and hash functions. It integrates a programmable watchdog timer, voltage/frequency/timing sensors for active tamper detection, and dual-bank Flash supporting atomic firmware updates.
The security controller uses a hardened bus architecture with encrypted internal data paths and supports secure key injection via JTAG-SWD debug interface under strict access control. All non-volatile memory regions are protected by write-lock bits and read-protection mechanisms enforced at silicon level.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| CPU Core | C166S 16-bit RISC core with 25 MHz max clock – enables deterministic real-time execution of secure transaction firmware. |
| Crypto Acceleration | Hardware DES/3DES/AES-128/SHA-1 engines – offloads encryption from CPU, reducing latency and power during card authentication. |
| Memory | 32 KB Flash + 2 KB RAM + 1 KB EEPROM – sufficient for dual-application applets (e.g., payment + transit) with persistent key storage. |
| Smart Card Interface | ISO/IEC 7816-3 Class A/B/C compliant UART – supports 5 V / 3 V / 1.8 V card voltages and T=0/T=1 protocols. |
| Tamper Protection | Voltage, frequency, and temperature sensors with active response – triggers secure memory wipe on out-of-spec conditions. |
| Security Certification | Common Criteria EAL5+ certified – validated against AVA_VAN.5 and ASE_TSP.1 for trusted execution environment. |
Pinout & Package
Package: PG-TQFP-48 (7 mm × 7 mm, 0.5 mm pitch), thermally enhanced with exposed pad for secure IC mounting and thermal monitoring.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VCC, VCCIO | Power supply inputs | Dual-rail operation: VCC powers core/logic (2.7–5.5 V), VCCIO sets I/O voltage (1.8–5.5 V) for flexible smart card interface compatibility. |
| RSTN | Active-low reset input | Asynchronous hard reset with internal pull-up; assertion clears all registers and forces secure boot sequence. |
| CLKIN | External clock input | Accepts 1–25 MHz crystal or external oscillator; feeds PLL for precise 25 MHz core clock generation. |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Configurable bidirectional I/O | Supports ISO 7816 I/O, SWD debug, or general-purpose GPIO with programmable pull-up/down and slew rate control. |
| TS | Tamper sensor input | Analog input for external tamper mesh or sensor; monitored continuously during secure operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Secure Boot ROM | Immutable bootloader validates digital signature of Flash application before execution, preventing unauthorized firmware loading. |
| Dual-Bank Flash | Enables safe over-the-air updates: new firmware writes to inactive bank while active bank continues operation; swap occurs atomically on reset. |
| Hardware RNG | FIPS 140-2 compliant true random number generator using analog entropy source – required for key derivation and challenge-response protocols. |
| JTAG-SWD Debug Lock | Debug access disabled after first secure programming; re-enabling requires physical tamper evidence verification and factory reset. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar security controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ST33TPHF20S | 32-bit ARM SecurCore SC000 core; 128 KB Flash; supports RSA-2048 but lacks native DES acceleration. | Stronger asymmetric crypto performance; less optimized for legacy EMV T=0/T=1 throughput. | Preferred when migrating to FIDO2 or PKI-heavy use cases requiring RSA/ECC agility. |
| AT90SC12872RC | AVR-based 8-bit core; 128 KB Flash; includes hardware DES/AES but no SHA-1 accelerator or EAL5+ certification. | Limited to low-throughput applications; lacks tamper sensor integration and secure update mechanism. | Suitable for cost-sensitive, non-certified secure tokens where full EMV or eID compliance is not required. |
Compared with ST33TPHF20S and AT90SC12872RC, the SLE 66CX322P M5.1 delivers balanced symmetric crypto throughput, certified tamper resistance, and ISO 7816 timing precision-making it optimal for high-volume EMV and eSIM deployments requiring field-proven certification.

FAQ
What security certifications does the SLE 66CX322P M5.1 hold?
The SLE 66CX322P M5.1 is certified to Common Criteria EAL5+ under AVA_VAN.5 and ASE_TSP.1, with evaluation assurance for its secure boot, memory protection, and tamper detection mechanisms. It meets EMV Level 1 and GSMA SAS-UP requirements for eSIM use, and supports ICAO-compliant BAC/EAC protocols for ePassports.
Does this device support contactless communication (ISO 14443)?
No, the SLE 66CX322P M5.1 does not integrate an ISO 14443 transceiver or RF front-end. It is strictly a contact-based security controller with ISO 7816-3 UART interface. For contactless functionality, external NFC controllers such as the Infineon SLI13xx series must be used in conjunction.
Can the embedded Flash be reprogrammed in-system?
Yes, the 32 KB Flash supports in-system programming via the ISO 7816 interface or SWD debug port (when unlocked). Dual-bank architecture allows background programming of one bank while executing from the other, enabling zero-downtime firmware updates in certified applications.
What is the maximum operating temperature range for industrial use?
The SLE 66CX322P M5.1 is rated for operation from −25 °C to +85 °C across all speed grades. Its thermal sensor and voltage monitors remain fully functional across this range, and the device maintains EAL5+ security guarantees under these conditions per its certification report.
