Description
The Atmel AT88SC1616C is a high-performance, secure memory chip designed for reliable data storage and cryptographic operations without the need for a microprocessor-based operating system. With 16 Kbits (2 KB) of EEPROM memory, it provides flexible, user-configurable zones that allow secure partitioning for different data sets or applications.
Built with an advanced hardware encryption engine, the AT88SC1616C supports dynamic and symmetric mutual authentication, ensuring that both the host and the card verify each other before any data exchange occurs. This two-way authentication, combined with real-time encryption, safeguards information against cloning, interception, and unauthorized access.
The chip integrates password protection, encryption keys, and access management features, allowing it to perform secure data transactions without external software or processors. Fully compliant with the ISO/IEC 7816-3 T=0 protocol, it ensures seamless communication with standard smart card readers and embedded systems.
Thanks to its low power consumption, compact design, and long data retention, the AT88SC1616C is ideal for smart metering, access control, loyalty programs, and IoT authentication modules, where security and reliability are non-negotiable.
