TeraFire^® E5200

Elliptic Curve Cryptography Microprocessor

From the leader in public key cryptography cores comes the E5200 series. The E5200 provides leading elliptic curve cryptography performance while maintaining full backwards compatibility with the flagship T5200 public key cryptography microprocessor. Athena’s patented arithmetic technology delivers the performance your solution needs - low latency and high throughput, in an area efficient package.

The E5200 augments Athena’s proprietary public key instruction set architecture with enhanced performance elliptic curve instructions that accelerate all odd characteristic operations, and provide additional performance for Suite B P-curve operations.
