To counter the risk of reprogramming a device in an embedded system, the PIC18-Q24 MCU is equipped with a Programming and Debugging Interface Disabler (PDID) feature. When enabled, this advanced code protection is designed to lock down access to the programming/debugging interface and block unauthorized attempts to read, modify, or delete firmware.
The product is the PIC18-Q24 MCU.
" System security is only as strong as its weakest link. Any programmable component can contain security vulnerabilities, and it's essential to implement advanced protection features to prevent potential hacks, " said Greg Robinson, Vice President of Microchip's 8-bit MCU business.
" The Microchip PIC18-Q24 MCU series is designed with advanced security features to help customers combat threats at the system's foundational level ."
Because many security systems typically connect and communicate with various types of sensors, memory chips, and processors, the PIC18-Q24 MCU is equipped with multi-voltage I/O (MVIO). This feature eliminates the need for external voltage level shifters and allows the MCU to communicate with digital inputs or outputs at different operating voltage levels.
The PIC18-Q24 product line also supports an option with an immutable bootloader for applications requiring a secure method for firmware upgrades. To learn more, please visit the Microchip PIC® MCU website.
