	Hardware Security Requirements for Embedded Encryption Key Storage   By Craig Rawlings Marketing Director Kilopass Technology Inc. As the sophistication of global competitors and IP thieves in countries with weak IP protections increases, there exists an increased need for enhanced physical security for sensitive security information such as encryption keys. With hardware security as one of the new primary requirements for many, if not most, consumer SOC architectures, new questions are being asked of various memory technologies. more >> Visit your CPU Superstore: C166, ColdFire, Power Architecture, CompactRisc more >>		TakeCharge ESD Design Solutions for LV and HV CMOS down to 65nm more >> Low Noise, Low Distortion Differential ADC Driver from Catena Front-end Macro for embedded GPS from Catena Full chip, configurable ESD protection design kit with GDSII,... from Sarnoff Europe Full chip, configurable ESD protection design kit with GDSII,... from Sarnoff Europe SMIC 0.13um 1.2V/3.3V Multiple I/O 01 Library from VeriSilicon CMOS 1 CHANNEL 10-Bit 200MSPS+ CURRENT-STEERING D/A CONVERT from VeriSilicon 64 Kbit NVM in 130nm Standard Logic CMOS process OTP/eMTP from Sidense 512 Kbit NVM in 90nm Standard Logic CMOS process OTP/eMTP from Sidense ARMCortex-M3 processor core w/o cache from ARM 10-bit 50 MSPS ADC from SliceX 10-bit, 175 MHz, 3.3 V Current Steering DAC with 6-bit... from Chipidea Data Encryption Standard Core from CAST Triple DES Core Data Encryption Standard Core from CAST Multi-codec hardware IP - H264, MPEG4 and H263 codec - For... from Thin Multimedia High performing Multi-codec H/W IPs - H264, MPEG4 with Double D1... from Thin Multimedia Oscillator (Designed for Common Platform 65G) from Aragio Solutions 11 Bit 4 MHz Sigma Delta ADC for multi-standard Mobile TV receivers from Silicon & Software Systems (S3)		New IP By Foundry   In this Q407 study of new IP by foundry, TSMC continues to lead the pack with the bulk of new IP being developed for their processes.
