6 Application Information

The ECC608-TFLXWPC is a member of the Microchip’s Trust CryptoAuthentication™ family of products. The TrustFLEX products are easy to use, simple to implement and allow even low volume users to implement security into their end system while leveraging Microchip’s expertise and infrastructure in secure provisioning.

The ECC608-TFLXWPC device was developed to take the guesswork out of adding security to Qi-compliant wireless charging transmitters. The product is pre-configured to readily store one or two WPC certificate slot chains. If the WPC Slot 1 certificate chain is not utilized, it is available for a proprietary certificate chain to be stored and associated with WPC Slot 2.

Additionally, the ECC608-TFLXWPC device supports connections to the IoT Cloud in the same seamless manner as that of the ATECC608B-TFLXTLS and ATECC608B-TNGTLS products. This allows connections for wireless charging deployed in industry infrastructure applications such as restaurants, hotels, etc. If so required, the secure boot features enabled in the device can also be used to do a firmware check of the micro in the wireless charging transmitter prior to connecting to the cloud.

In addition to the actual security device, Microchip developed a series of tools that seamlessly integrate with their hardware devices to provide an easy path to developing an entire security solution. When developers use Microchip’s software security tools, they eliminate the complexity of setting up their own infrastructure and provide a rapid path to initial prototypes and production.
