Microchip Technology Inc. recently released two IoT chips that are specifically designed to simplify product development while strengthening the security of IoT endpoints — a growing concern as the number of IoT devices increases rapidly. The SAM L10 and SAM L11 are 32-bit microcontrollers (MCUs) with chip-level security so that product developers and design engineers can more readily implement security features protecting sensitive intellectual property and corporate information.

The SAM L10 and SAM L11 are based on the Arm Cortex-M23 core and feature extremely low power consumption with nearly negligible current (

For secure communications, the cryptographic modules support proven functions such as the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), Galois Counter Mode (GCM), and the Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA).
