RT-630-FPGA Programmable Root-of-Trust Security Processor for Cloud/AI/ML SoC FIPS-140
CAST IP Core Simplifies Smart Card Reader Integration
May 20, 2004 (IP Japan) Shinagawa, Japan — Semiconductor intellectual property (IP) provider CAST, Inc. today announced a new IP core that implements a Smart Card Reader interface and controller.
Smart cards embed a computer chip in a credit-card sized plastic card, and are gaining global popularity for personal identification, mobile phone personalization, credit/debit functions, satellite TV security, health care records storage, and other applications. The new CAST SCR-APB core acts as a communication controller, passing data between the host system and the smart card. It supports industry-standard specifications (SO/IEC 7816-3:1997[E] and EMV'96 3.1.1) and provides an interface to host systems using the popular AMBA™ Advanced Peripheral Bus (APB).
The SCR-APB is fully featured, and can activate and deactivate cards, execute cold/warm resets, handle ATR response reception, and perform other essential functions. Designed for ASIC or FPGA implementation, it produces efficient results, requiring for example just 6,500 ASIC gates (TSMC 0.13).
The SCR-APB core is available now; royalty-free pricing varies by configuration, and customers should contact CAST for details.
