Available from Hitex, the Keil PK51 Professional Developer's Kit provides extensive support for the SST Theseus Titanium smart card family. The Keil PK51 Professional Developer's Kit provides Theseus Titanium customers with a complete software development tool solution including the acclaimed Keil 8051 C compiler and uVision3 IDE. SST worked closely with Keil to provide complete device simulation of its Theseus Titanium family in order to offer its users a seamless and easy to use simulation environment.

Richard Morley, Vice President of Smart Card ICs within SST, said: 'We are pleased to offer our customers Theseus Titanium device support within the Keil PK51 Professional Developer's Kit'.

'Providing this support should significantly reduce the time required for our customers to develop, test, and sample new smart card applications on Theseus Titanium devices'.

Smart card software engineers can now simulate their code using Keil's PK51 Professional Developer's Kit and then generate instant samples using the programmability of SST Theseus Titanium devices.

Keil's 8051 Professional Developer's Kit offers complete device simulation for CPU ISS and all on-chip peripherals of the Theseus Titanium devices, enabling smart card applications to be developed and verified without the need for hardware.

The ability to simulate in software greatly enhances the security of the Theseus Titanium device.

'Keil has supported smart card developers since 1994 and are the leading supplier of both smart card and 8051 development tools', said Reinhard Keil, Director of MCU Tools at Keil.

'This enhancement to PK51 Developer's Kit will enable SST to offer much improved tool support to users of their smart card devices'.

'We look forward to working with SST to provide tool solutions for future smartcard devices'.
