Atmel AVR Microcontroller Targets High-Volume USB Smart Card Reader Applications
AT90SCR050 provides cost-effective solutions, complete tool set and support for various programming mechanisms in the consumer, corporate and government sectors
CARTES, France, November 17, 2009 - AtmelŽ Corporation (Nasdaq: ATML), a leader in microcontroller-based solutions, today announced a new Atmel AVRŽ microcontroller designed for the smart card reader market. Targeting the low-cost, high volume market, Atmel's new AT90SCR050 is a complete system solution that enables designers to bring their products faster-to-market.
The AT90SCR050 includes an industry-proven Atmel AVR microcontroller, 16 KB of ROM, USB FS2.0 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.
"Many everyday applications are beginning to require certain levels of 'smart' technology," said Jean-Charles Lesage, Atmel's marketing manager for smart card reader ICs. "Atmel's AT90SCR050 addresses the high-volume market, such as laptops and mobile devices, by offering designers a complete solution to enable their products to compete in a price-competitive market. Sectors such as consumer, corporate and the government are quickly entering the high-volume market and requiring these smart card technologies in their applications. Atmel has a complete portfolio to address these needs."
The AT90SCR050 is a member of the AT90SCR family. With an Atmel AVR secure microcontroller embedded in these devices, customers can take advantage of the free AVR StudioŽ and AVR JTAGICE mkII that support all AVR-based microcontrollers. An evaluation kit AT90SCR100MEB-01 is available for this device.
