Microcontroller gets more memory
Secure microcontroller upgrades existing AT90SC6404RT device with additional ROM.
Atmel has developed the AT90SC9604RU secure microcontroller in replacement for the existing AT90SC6404RT device The additional read-only memory in the device allows customers to implement sophisticated applications such as CPA (Common Platform Application) for the EMV banking, SDA (Static Data Authentication) market and makes this chip perfectly suited for cost sensitive applications such as low end contact bank cards

Designers can connect the application supply directly to the AT73C237, increasing the level of analogue integration while minimising BOM cost and product size
Based on Atmel's optimised 8/16bit RISC SecureAVR CPU architecture, the AT90SC9604RU features on-chip high density, compact memories: 4Kbyte EEPROM, 96Kbyte of user ROM and 2Kbyte of RAM.
This product has been designed to meet the security standards of Common Criteria EAL4+ and EMVCo It shares the same common features with Atmel's secureAVR family including strong security mechanisms, a DES/TDES processor, a true random number generator, DFA/DPPA resistant, firewalls and environmental protections to name just a few.
Benoit Makowka, Banking and ID Product Line Manager says: "The addition of this new device reinforces Atmel's commitment to serve banking and government markets".
"We strongly believe that this new product will help our customers to develop compact Operating Systems and application code to serve in long term a cost sensitive market requiring more and more security".
AT90SC9604RU samples are available now.
Production will start in Q2 of 2007.
Pricing starts at US $0.67 for 10,000 units.
