iChip CO2064 (LAN)
Overview Specifications Evaluation Board

Key Features & Benefits 

  • Designed for secure IP connectivity: acts as a security gap between the application and the network
  • Multiple hardware interfaces: USB 2.0 host and device, USART, RMII, two SPI, and two-wire
  • Includes Random Number Generator and support for SHA-1/256, AES 128/192/256, and 3DES encryption in hardware
  • Power-efficient: the core operates at 1.2V, while I/Os operate at 3.3V (typically 200mW)
  • Operates in the industrial temperature range at 48MHz
  • Packaged in a 64-pin LQFP form-factor (10x10x1.4mm)
  • RoHS-compliant
  • Supports LAN connectivity
  • Locally updateable firmware

iChip CO2064 is the most full-featured, lowest-cost Secure Ethernet Controller chip on the market today. The CO2064 acts as a co-processor to offload security and IP connectivity tasks from any host processor. The Secure Ethernet Controller is ideal for enabling devices to achieve secure, high-speed throughput and access to IP networks via 10/100BaseT LAN. Typically, only one man-month is needed for hardware engineering and adding IP connectivity commands to the host application.

The CO2064 firmware comes in two distinct flavors:

Flavor 'A'

  • 10 concurrent active TCP/UDP sockets
  • Two listening sockets
  • Sending plain-text email messages
  • Sending and retrieving data from an FTP server
  • Serial-to-IP bridging in SerialNET™ mode
  • HTTP client

Flavor 'B'

  • Secure SSL3/TLS1 socket
  • 9 non-secure TCP/UDP sockets
  • Network Time Client

Flavors can be quickly interchanged at will simply by sending an appropriate AT+i™ command for uploading a different flavor.

Security features include a random number generator, SHA-1/256 secure hash accelerator, AES-128/192/256 encryption accelerator, 3DES, and SSL3/TLS1.

The CO2064 uses an open software architecture that allows users to select and program the firmware flavor that provides the Internet protocols and other features required for their application.

The CO2064 loads its firmware and Internet configutation parameters either from an external SPI flash memory or accepts it from the host via one of the supported interfaces. The chip includes a 32-bit ARM7TDMI RISC processor and 256KB of SRAM.
