INSIDE Secure, a pioneer and leader in semiconductor solutions for secure transactions and digital identity, recently introduced the AT90SCR200, the first member of a new family of EMV-compliant smart card reader microcontrollers. Developers who base the design of their smart card readers on this device will be able to more quickly and easily attain EMV level one type approval for their products, an important symbol of quality throughout the industry.
“EMV certification has become a universally recognised seal of approval for smart card readers, even for those used in applications other than payment and provides a powerful indication that a product has achieved the highest level of quality,” said Christian Fleutelot, general manager and executive vice president digital security for INSIDE Secure. “Now manufacturers have a trusted source for high-quality, EMV-compliant smart card reader ICs they can have confidence in for use in a broad range of contact and contactless reader applications requiring EMV certification.”
