Microchip Technology SEC1110 & SEC1210 Smart Card Controllers

Microchip Technology SEC1110 and SEC1210 Smart Card Controllers are low-cost, low-power, single-chip Smart Card controllers with USB, SPI or UART interfaces. The SEC1110 and SEC1210 Controllers use a combination of hardware and software to deliver high-performance and flexible design customization options. Both devices utilize TrustSpan™ technology which enables digital systems to securely communicate, process, move and store information on system boards, across networks, and through the cloud. Up-to-date EMV and USB certifications enhance interoperability with all of the latest and legacy Smart Cards and host operating systems. Ready-to-use USB Chip Card Interface Device (CCID) firmware provides a fast and easy platform to develop custom applications. One-time programmable (OTP) memory offers the flexibility of custom firmware or vendor-specific device data.

The Microchip Technology SEC1110 and SEC1210 Smart Card Controllers are offered in 16-pin and 24-pin Quad Flat No-Lead (QFN) packages. These devices are available in commercial (0ºC to +70ºC) and industrial (-40ºC to +85ºC) temperature ranges.
