Microchip Technology Inc. announced the embedded SuperFlash technology is enabling secure bank cards through a secure integrated circuit (IC) from StarChip, a subsidiary of SAFRAN Security & Identity. The IC, SCB136, was developed and fabricated on HHGraces 110 nm embedded non-volatile memory (eNVM) process platform licensed from Silicon Storage Technology (SST). The inclusion of SuperFlash memory on StarChips secure IC for bank cards is further validation by partner that SSTs IP enables innovative, secure products, capable of withstanding rigorous anti-tamper testing with fast time-to-market.
