The new AT90SO family is the first in the industry to offer a wide range of interfaces to bring security to various applications including USB e-tokens, femtocells, smart meters, secure data storage, telehealth and gaming platforms. Built around Atmel’s secureAVR® microcontroller technology, this new AT90SO family provides a higher level of security, performance and lower power consumption than current offerings in the market. Atmel’s first member of this new family, AT90SO128, is built around the secureAVR 8-/16-bit rapid, low-power RISC architecture with 288 KB of ROM, 128 KB of EEPROM and 12 KB of RAM. These features make the secure system-on-chip (SoC) compatible with the most demanding firmware developments. Additionally, all the standard cryptography algorithms (AES, DES/TDES, RSA, ECC) are supported by embedded dedicated accelerators which are compatible with Common Criteria EAL4+ and FIPS140-2 certifications—International computer security certifications…
