High security for smart card MCU family
Philips Semiconductors describes SmartMX as the world's first ultra-low-power cost-optimised high-performance family of smart card controller ICs.
Test devices for 90nm have already been successfully fabricated by ST and Philips in Crolles, France, and by TSMC in Hsin-Chu, Taiwan.
Prototyping of 90nm products is expected to take place in the second half of 2002.
This development was made possible by leveraging the technical expertise of all three companies' internal research and development teams and customer engineering organisations.
