EFR32BG21 Blue Gecko Wireless SoC Family Data Sheet System Overview 3.7 Security Features3.7.1 Standard Security Standard Security includes the following features: • Cryptographic Accelerator with Standard Ciphers • True Random Number Generator The Cryptographic Accelerator is a fast and energy-efficient autonomous hardware accelerator for advanced cryptographic ciphers. The standard security devices support AES encryption and decryption with 128/192/256-bit keys, ECC over both GF(P) and GF(2m), SHA-1 and SHA-2 (SHA-224 and SHA-256). Supported block cipher modes of operation for AES include: ECB, CTR, CBC, PCBC, CFB, OFB, GCM, CBC-MAC, GMAC and CCM. The Cryptographic Accelerator accelerates Elliptical Curve Cryptography and supports the NIST recommended curves including P-192, P-224, P-256, K-163, K-233, B-163 and B-233. The cryptographic accelerator supports ECDH (Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman) and ECDSA (Elliptic Curve Digital Signing Algorithm). These functions provide a fast and energy efficient solution for public key cryptography key exchange and digital signatures. 3.7.2 True Random Number Generator The True Random Number Generator module is a non-deterministic random number generator based on a full hardware solution. It includes start-up and online health tests for the entropy source as required by NIST SP800-90B and AIS-31. The TRNG is suitable for periodically generating entropy to seed an approved pseudo random number generator. The psuedorandom number generator then provides key generation in a secure system. 3.8 Analog3.8.1 Analog Comparator (ACMP) The Analog Comparator is used to compare the voltage of two analog inputs, with a digital output indicating which input voltage is high- er. Inputs are selected from among internal references and external pins. The tradeoff between response time and current consumption is configurable by software. Two 6-bit reference dividers allow for a wide range of internally-programmable reference sources. The ACMP can also be used to monitor the supply voltage. An interrupt can be generated when the supply falls below or rises above the programmable threshold. 3.8.2 Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) The ADC is an Intermediate architecture combining techniques from both SAR and Delta-Sigma style converters, It has a resolution of up to 12 bits at up to 1 Msps. Hardware oversampling reduces system-level noise over multiple front-end samples. The ADC includes integrated voltage references. Inputs are selectable from a wide range of sources, including pins configurable as either single-ended or differential. 3.9 Reset Management Unit (RMU) The RMU is responsible for handling reset of the EFR32BG21. A wide range of reset sources are available, including several power supply monitors, pin reset, software controlled reset, core lockup reset, and watchdog reset. silabs.com | Building a more connected world.
