Microcontroller targets smart card readers
Atmel
AT90SCR050 microcontroller
Atmel Corporation has announced the Atmel AVR microcontroller designed for the smart card reader market.
The AT90SCR050 includes an Atmel AVR microcontroller, 16KB of ROM, USB FS 2.0 and smart card interface with an integrated DC/DC to support cards compliant with the EMV L1 requirement and ISO7816.
These features offer designers a complete system solution to help bring their high-volume products to market at cost-effective price points.
The AT90SCR050 is a member of the AT90SCR range.
With an Atmel AVR secure microcontroller embedded in these devices, customers can use the free AVR Studio and AVR JTAGICE Mkii that support all AVR-based microcontrollers.
An evaluation kit, AT90SCR100MEB-01, is available for this device.
AT90SCR050 samples are available now in QFN28 packages and QFN24 packages by special specific request only.
