Atmel Introduces a New Generation of Secure Microcontrollers for Trusted Electronic Transaction Terminals

Rousset, France, November 15 (ots/PRNewswire)

- New System-on-Chip Improves Security and Level of Integration
for POS, PINPads and Health Card Reader Applications
Atmel(R) Corporation (Nasdaq: ATML), a global leader in the
development and fabrication of advanced semiconductor solutions,
announced today the introduction of the AT91SO100, a new high-end
32-bit secure microcontroller for electronic transaction terminals.
Based on the ARM(R) SecurCore(TM) SC100 CPU core, the AT91SO100
achieves an outstanding level of integration. This chip featuring 256
Kbytes EEPROM for program and data, 32 Kbytes ROM and 100 Kbytes RAM,
provides also USB, SPI, USARTs, I/O ports, magnetic stripe card
interfaces plus a secured external bus interface.
In addition, Atmel offers a smart card interface integration
through a single package solution in BGA 256 embedding two chips, the
AT91SO100 and the AT83C26, which physically interface with up to 5
smart cards.
Herve Roche, Atmel's Smart Card IC Marketing Manager stated, "To
comply with EMV standard, VISA(R) PED and others, terminals and
readers industry require higher security and more performance. Atmel
leverages its design expertise in highly secure smart card ICs by
providing to its customers the most efficient secure product for EMV
migration."
The AT91SO100 hosts strong security mechanics, including intrusion
sensors, dedicated hardware protections, real time clock and battery
backup. It also has an impressive set of cryptography features,
hardware DES/TDES, hardware AES, hardware SHA-n, hardware
cryptography accelerator for asymmetric algorithms (RSA, Elliptic
curves, Key generation) and a true random number generator.
Implemented in 0.18-micron embedded technology, this secure chip runs
a RSA 2048-bit decryption in less than 150 ms. It is targeted to
achieve Common Criteria EAL4+ certification.
Complete sets of documentation and development tools are
available.
