Samsung World's Highest-density 512KB EEPROM-embedded Smart Card IC
Samsung announced that it has developed a high-density 512-kilobyte (KB) EEPROM (Electrically Erasable and Programmable ROM) -embedded smart card IC (S3CC91H). By doubling the data storage from its recently announced 256KB EEPROM-embedded smart card IC, Samsung expands the range of densities that it provides to mobile handset developers from 2KB to 512KB.
The new 512KB EEPROM-embedded smart card IC will be demonstrated in Booth Hall 3 no.3 C 29 at the CARTES 2004 exhibition held at Paris, France from November 2 through 4. The newly developed smart card IC supports the enhanced user identification features of Universal Subscriber Identity Module (USIM) and User Identity Module (UIM) cards from IMT 2000 and 3G mobile handsets. The new 512KB EEPROM-embedded smart card IC is the industry's first to utilize 0.13§ process technology, enabling higher memory density and a smaller chip size.
Samsung's smart card IC is built on a 16bit CalmRISCTM CPU and a crypto-processor supporting Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) features. Samsung plans to initiate mass production of the 512KB EEPROM embedded smart card IC in the second quarter of 2005, available for sales in Europe.
