SafeXcel 810 - Secure Programmable Controller for Smart Card Reader Applications
The SafeXcel™-810 Transaction Series chip is designed for stand-alone
smart card readers and keyboards with built-in smart card readers. The
availability of display, keypad and smart card interfaces makes the SafeXcel-810
suitable for many applications.
Overview
Combining secure PIN entry, an LCD interface, two smart card interfaces,
a 24 MHz 8051 compatible processor and three cryptographic accelerators,
the SafeXcel-810 performs all encryption functions necessary to make a
smart card reader secure. Interfaces are provided for USB, RS232, and
serial EEPROM/SRAM.
The embedded 8051 processor has 48K bytes Program Flash (lockable), 16K
bytes RAM, and 16K bytes Data Flash.
