Samsung Electronics is mass-producing the 'Exynos i T200,' a dedicated IoT (Internet of Things) processor that supports wireless communication and features enhanced security.

Samsung Electronics plans to continuously strengthen its technological competitiveness in the Internet of Things (IoT) market, where the scope of application is expanding, through the newly introduced 'Exynos i T200,' a processor dedicated to IoT. The 'Exynos i T200' utilizes a 28nm HKMG (High-K Metal Gate) process and features multi-cores to enhance performance and efficiency.

Samsung Electronics has equipped this product with an additional independently operating processor (Cortex-M0+) in addition to the high-performance computing processor (Cortex-R4), enabling it to handle various tasks such as data input/output and display driving without the need for an additional chip.

For example, if this product is utilized in a refrigerator equipped with IoT capabilities, the Cortex-R4 processor handles main tasks such as running the entire OS, while the Cortex-M0+ processor drives the LED display on the refrigerator's exterior door, allowing a single chip to handle various functions.

In addition, focusing on the characteristics of IoT devices where security is critical, Samsung Electronics has embedded encryption and decryption management hardware called SSS (Security Sub System) into the 'Exynos i T200'. Security features have been dramatically enhanced, such as by generating a unique value that cannot be duplicated by the chip itself through a Physically Unclonable Function (PUF).

Wi-Fi Alliance certification and support for IoT protocol standard 'IoTivity'

The 'Exynos i T200' supports 802.11 b/g/n 2.4GHz Wi-Fi communication and has the advantage of being compatible with a wide range of devices by supporting ▲ Wi-Fi Alliance certification ▲ Microsoft's cloud service Azure IoT certification ▲ and the IoT protocol standard 'IoTivity'.

Heo Kuk, Senior Vice President of Strategy Marketing Team at Samsung Electronics System LSI Business Division, stated, "'Exynos i T200' is a processor optimized for the performance and security features required by the IoT market," adding, "Samsung Electronics will provide differentiated value in various areas such as mobile, automotive, and IoT through various Exynos solutions."
