In 2017, Samsung Electronics introduced the first proprietary chip family for the Internet of Things - controllers . A year later, the company added chips to its arsenal , and today Samsung the third solution is Exynos i T100. As can be understood from the designation, the novelty belongs to the same class of solutions as the Exynos i T200, but clearly a lower level. So what is she for?
The Exynos i T100 family is designed to create devices and platforms for smart home, smart things and smart infrastructure, but the communication range is reduced to a short range. If Exynos i T200 supported communication via Wi-Fi protocol, which implies a fairly massive data exchange, then the new solution complements it from below and works only via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) 5.0 and Zigbee 3.0 protocols. The Exynos i T10 processor is also weaker than the Exynos i T200 complex: it only has ARM Cortex-M4 cores, while the Exynos i T200 has a set of Cortex-R4 and Cortex βM0 + cores.
The scope of the Samsung Exynos i T100 includes relatively simple tasks. These are home lighting control, wearable health monitoring sensors, water leakage, gas and open fire sensors and other everyday tasks that will make life easier in detail and safer. But even despite the short range, the Exynos i T100 chips have serious protection against data interception. It is provided by a built-in hardware encryption unit and a non-cloneable physical identifier, which will prevent the device from being tampered with for unauthorized introduction into the network.
Like previous Samsung IoT solutions, the Exynos i T100 family is being launched using a 28nm process. This guarantees today's best combination of energy efficiency, performance and cost. In terms of operational reliability, the Exynos i T100 family of chips will remain operational from -40Β°C to 125Β°C.
