STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM, ST), a global semiconductor
manufacturer that provides semiconductors for a wide variety of electronic devices, has announced the STSAFE-V100, a secure element that enhances privacy and security protection for in-vehicle mobile device charging technology. -Qi” was announced. In addition, in collaboration with indie Semiconductor (Nasdaq: INDI), an automotive semiconductor manufacturer, the new secure element will be
incorporated into Indie’s Qi wireless charging reference design for vehicles.
The STSAFE-V100-Qi realizes an in-vehicle charger that complies with the latest standards of the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC), which requires protection by a secure element. Additionally, it is Common Criteria (CC) EAL4 certified, the highest security level applicable to Qi-compliant chargers, contributing to enhanced cyber security protection.
ST’s Secure Element family is proven to protect the confidentiality, integrity and authenticity of information and equipment in
security-critical applications such as finance, ticketing and identity protection. Reference designs for Qi wireless charging help improve optimal charging functionality and safety for automotive applications. Customized at ST’s factory for Qi charging, the STSAFE-V100-Qi supports secure boot, secure storage, and secure software updates. These protections provide additional protection against risks such as remote tampering, forgery, and duplication. The IC also features secure software update capabilities, ensuring a high level of security over the life of the vehicle.
Fred Jarrar, vice president and general manager of indie’s Power & USB product line, commented: “Our advanced Qi-compliant silicon solution for wireless charging enables all classes of vehicles to charge small devices and improve the in-vehicle user experience. , our reference designs provide the highest level of cyber security protection, helping our automotive customers protect their brands and provide safety, security and peace of mind for their users.”
Laurent Degauque, Marketing Director for Connected Security at ST, commented: “With the STSAFE-V100-Qi, indie’s reference design complies with the latest WPC standards and Common Criteria EAL4 , ensuring charging protection for devices up to 15W. You get the best of both worlds: a high-quality charging system and the highest level of security.”
The STSAFE-V100-Qi is currently sampling to major customers, with volume production expected to begin in Q4 2023. Please contact ST’s sales office for pricing and sample availability.

ST’s secure element ICs and secure processors feature tamper-proof hardware-based security that can be used in conjunction with or in place of software-based security. These ICs and processors leverage ST’s expertise in secure storage for electronic keys, accelerators for cryptographic algorithms, secure software boot, secure firmware updates, and protection against physical attacks.
indie’s reference design will help accelerate the development of highly efficient and robust wireless charging systems optimized for in-vehicle environments. This reference design is equipped with indie’s wireless charging IC “iND87200”. The iND87200 uses the industry’s most advanced semiconductor integration technology, reducing component costs by approximately half compared to mounting discrete components. It also simplifies compliance with the WPC Qi standard.
ST’s Secure Element protects customer IP by preventing unauthorized access to application code, while ensuring electrical safety and data privacy protection when end users charge their devices. It will come true. The reference design also features ST’s ST25R3920B
automotive-grade NFC (near field communication) reader IC, which handles Qi charger pairing and NFC card protection functions. One of the special features of indie’s iND87200 wireless charging IC is its built-in boost converter. This maximizes the charging area and allows stable charging with up to 15W of power. Additionally, in addition to common voltage and current sensing, it includes advanced power sensing circuitry to monitor system impedance and phase in real time. This advanced feature allows optimization of system tuning and algorithms, enabling advanced features such as adaptive foreign object detection that are not possible with other less integrated methods. Note:
Developed by the Wireless Power Consortium, Qi is an open, universal interface standard for inductive wireless power transfer.
Common Criteria for Information Technology Security Evaluation (CC) is a standard that allows independent, accredited laboratories to determine the security level of a product under a defined Assurance Level (EAL). Thing. EAL4 indicates that a product has been designed, tested and proven using sound methodologies, and provides a certain level of assurance and is suitable for applications such as automotive Qi charging technology that require a high level of security. Demonstrates resilience to vulnerabilities.
