ATMEL THE SMARTER CARD SOLUTION
Atmel Corporation is a
leading manufacturer of
nonvolatile memory,
microcontrollers, logic
programmable ICs and
application specific
circuits. Our strategy is
to develop products -
often based on our
patented position in
nonvolatile memory -
that can provide
customers in these
markets a competitive
edge.
Headquartered in San
Jose, California, Atmel
operates five fabs in the
United States and
Europe.
Through growth and
acquisition, Atmel is today one
of the leading IC manufacturers
in the Smart Card market. Our
extensive product portfolio is
backed up by a unique
combination of depth of
experience and leading-edge
technology. We partner industry
leaders in Smart Card
applications.
Atmel is one of the
world’s top manufacturers of
nonvolatile memory. We are one
of the largest Flash memory
producers, and no one anywhere
sells more EEPROMs.
Atmel produces a full range of
memories, microcontrollers,
programmable logic ICs and
application-specific chips. Our
reputation for quality and
reliability is second to none.
Atmel’s technological
strengths make secure IC
products a natural business
choice. These credentials and
Atmel’s sound strategic
acquisitions have made us one
of the leading IC manufacturers
in the Smart Card market today.
Our extensive portfolio offers a
range of chips from secure
memory and RF tags to secure
micro- and crypto-controllers
that answer our customers’
various application and security
demands. Significantly, Atmel is
the only company that can offer
Flash-based microcontrollers for
Smart Cards today.
WE’VE BEEN SMARTER LONGER
Your memory is secure with Atmel. We offer serial
EEPROMs in two standard protocols. I2C from 1K
to 512K bits and 3-wire from 1K to 4K bits.
Flash memories are available from 2M to 4M bits. Thinking
about password protection? We’ve delivered millions of secure
memories, which require a password to read, write or erase all, or
portions of the memory. Need even higher security? Secure
memories are available which require cryptographic authentication
for memory access.
CONTACTLESS (RFID) Want to go contactless? It’s easy with Atmel. Our RFID ICs cover the
entire product spectrum from simple tags to complex secure
microcontroller devices. All standard communication protocols at
both 125 kHz and 13.56 MHz are supported.
SECURE MICROCONTROLLERS AND CRYPTOCONTROLLERS
High performance, maximum security and shorter development
times. Atmel offers both Flash- and ROM-based solutions. With
Atmel’s state-of-the-art Flash-based microcontrollers and
cryptocontrollers, there’s no waiting for the masked ROM. It’s a snap
to customize your Smart Cards for very specific – often complex –
applications. The result? You get to market faster and cheaper.
And there’s a bonus! Flash memory content is more secure than
traditional ROM memory. It’s optically invisible and it can be
obliterated at the first sign of unauthorized access or physical attack.
SECURE MEMORY
SECURE MEMORY
Make your next cards wiser with Atmel’s
Serial EEPROMs. Two of the three
product lines include security features:
password and authentication.
Atmel’s secure memory family
includes high-end security products with
an embedded authentication protocol
which requires the card and host to
authenticate each other before granting
data access. Multiple zones with
individually configurable security
features give unrivaled flexibility to the
application designer. Memory zones may
also be combined to create larger block
sizes.
For your next smart card, take it
from Atmel, the world’s EEPROM expert.
We’ve delivered over 1 billion Serial and
Secure Memory chips.

AT89SC
THE VERSATILE SOLUTION
The AT89SC 8-bit microcontrollers
combine the proven MCS-51®and
MCS-251 architecture with up to 256
kilobytes of nonvolatile memory for
program and data. They offer a highly
flexible and cost-effective solution for
many Smart Card applications.
Based on the industry-standard
HC05 low-power MCU core,
the AT05SC family is upwards
compatible with the
established MSC series. It offers
a range of increased memory
sizes and enhanced security
features, as well as a dual-
interface contact/contactless
option. This makes the
AT05SC family one of the most
attractive product propositions
for single- and multi-function
applications from finance to
transport, health to pre-paid
mobile phone
communications.

AT91SP
THE ULTIMATE IN PERFORMANCE
The high-performance Flash-based
AT90SC microcontroller is based on
Atmel’s popular AVR®8-bit RISC
microcontroller core. The AVR
architecture is optimized for
C language and supports extremely dense assembler code programs. This
code-efficient architecture achieves throughputs ten to fifteen times faster
than conventional CISC microcontrollers approaching 1 MIPS per MHz.
Building firewalls in the memory is a snap thanks to a memory
supervisor that controls the information flow. This makes the AT90SC the
perfect solution for
multi-application
Smart Cards.
With the AT91SP family, Atmel has the
fastest performance in a multi-application
Smart Card chip available on the market.
Based on the 32-bit ARM7 core, the
AT91SP not only includes the standard
ISO7816 interface, but also a high-speed SPI
interface for memory expansion. In addition
it features a USB interface for high-speed I/O.
And, because of its on-chip DES and RSA
encryption/decryption capability the secret
key never has to leave the card.
Of course the AT91SP security
product includes the industry’s highest levels
of security technology. In addition to
standard tamper detection circuits, it
incorporates methods to prevent differential
power analysis (DPA), timing, and other
non-invasive attacks as well as top-layer
metal plates to prevent micro-probing.

SMART CARD IC SECURITY FEATURES
Banking
Atmel’s Smart Card ICs offer a veritable
electronic maze of security features,
from simple password verification to
state-of-the-art dual-key encryption.
Password code verification
permits data access only after validation
of the security code. Secure memories
are permanently invalidated upon four
consecutive false security code
presentations. Certain memory zones
have read/write protection. Secure
memories with authentication permit
data access only after successful
completion of our patented mutual
authentication protocol.
Thanks to Flash, it is impossible
to extract a code by a visual inspection,
and an E-beam inspection erases the
memory matrix. The devices are
protected against power-down, low- and
high-frequencies. A transport code
inserted in the OTP area protects
shipping and initialization. Each chip
has a unique ID number.
The AT90SC’s dynamic logical
scrambling mixes the contents of the
memories, making data extracted from
the memory nearly impossible to read.
It can be unique for every chip. The
AT89SC has a physical scrambling on
the system bus.
Special care has been taken to
protect the chip layout. If the software
detects fraudulent access, it can erase
the Flash and EEPROM. Both the Flash
and EEPROM memories have an internal
self-timed clock, independent of the
master clock, to prevent break-ins. The
ROM-based products have proven their
security over many years of intensive
use.
At our invitation external
agencies such as ITSEC have audited our
security claims. Atmel has also been a
key participant in the Eurosmart Work
Group and the Common Criteria
Protection Profile.

The Windows-based Atmel Smart Card
Development Kit (SDK), is a complete
high-performance, user-friendly tool for
easy development, simulation and code
emulation. Programmers can see the card
operating in real time and verify each
sub-application until the whole system
works.
Most Atmel secure
microcontrollers have user-programmable
nonvolatile memory for both program
and data storage. This means that, after
development, the card maker has a
product that corresponds exactly to the
production devices. No need to wait for a
ROM mask. Just start a field trial.
