Samsung has announced that it has started mass production of Exynos i T20, the company’s first Exynos-branded Internet of Things (IoT) solution. It uses 28-nanometer (nm) High-K Metal Gate (HKMG) process, has Wi-Fi connectivity offering performance needed for upcoming IoT use cases.
Highlights of Samsung Exynos i T200
- Utilizes both a Cortex-R4 processor and additional Cortex-M0+ processor enabling the devices it supports to process and perform various tasks without the need for an extra microcontroller IC
- 802.11b/g/n single-band (2.4GHz)
- Has Wi-Fi CERTIFIED certification from the Wi-Fi Alliance, and Microsoft Azure Certified for IoT.
- Natively supports IoTivity, an IoT protocol standard from the Open Connectivity Foundation (OCF) enabling seamless interoperability between IoT devices.
- Utilizes a separate and designated security management hardware block called the Security Sub-System (SSS).
- Physical Unclonable Function (PUF) IP provides secure data storage and device authentication management without the need to fuse a key onto silicon, and rely on a discrete security IC for key storage
Regarding the new IoT chip, Ben Hur, Vice President of System LSI marketing at Samsung Electronics, said:
The Exynos i T200 is an IoT solution optimized to deliver both the performance and security demanded in the IoT market.With various Exynos solution offerings, Samsung will deliver further differentiated value to not only mobile devices, but also non-mobile spaces, including automotive and IoT.
