Atmel Targets Wireless Communications and High Security Markets With Introduction of new 288K EEPROM Secure Microcontroller for Smart Card Applications

San Jose, California, November 2 (ots/PRNewswire)

- Device Will Create New Opportunities for Mobile Network
Operators and Phone Designers Through Combination of Security,
Increased Storage Capacity, Performance and Cost Effectiveness
Atmel(R) Corporation (Nasdaq: ATML), a global leader in the
development and fabrication of advanced semiconductor solutions,
announced today the introduction of the AT90SC320288RCT, a new member
of the AT90SC family of secure microcontrollers featuring outstanding
on-chip compact memories: flexible 288-Kbytes EEPROM, 320-Kbytes of
user-ROM, and 8-Kbytes of RAM.
Due to the performance and the density of the 8-/16-bit RISC
SecureAVR(TM) CPU architecture, Atmel can offer an attractive product
for high capability cost sensitive applications such as SIM/USIM,
bank cards or multi-application personal I.D. cards. Combining
advanced technologies and an optimized architecture, the
AT90SC320288RCT can run at high speed and be compliant with the most
stringent industry standards such as mobile phone specifications.
Benoit Makowka, Marketing Manager for smart card wireless
applications, stated, "The concept of this product family is to allow
developers to re-use existing OS/application software and get
immediate access to a product featuring 288-Kbytes of EEPROM memory
with minimum effort. For example, if a developer who has an operating
system up and running on an Atmel chip with 32/36-Kbytes of EEPROM
(such as the AT90SC19236R/T) or 64/72-Kbytes (AT90SC25672R/T or
AT90SC7272C) wishes to port it with a very limited amount of
resources and effort, into a new product getting access to a
256/288-K bytes EEPROM IC. We believe that this introduction will
create unique opportunities, for mobile network operators, to extend
an existing product portfolio and bring new products with value-added
services, quickly into the market."
Targeting high security markets, the AT90SC32088RCT is designed to
meet Common Criteria EAL5+ and Visa Level3 requirements. Like most of
AT90SC SecureAVR products, this device features true random number
generator, unique chip ID, memories encryption, Memory Protection
Unit, active shield protection, countermeasures against SPA, DPA,
glitches and side channel attacks, as well as voltage, frequency,
temperature and light protections ... to name but a few.
In addition to the high speed high security DES/3DES engine, the
AdvX(TM)  high performance cryptographic accelerator and it's
embedded firmware  (located in an additional 32-Kbytes dedicated-ROM)
supports standard finite  fields arithmetic functions including RSA,
DSA, DH, ECC, AES.
