Microchip Technology AT88SC1616C-PU

CryptoMemory Specification For Standard Mode of Operation

Description

The AT88SCxxxxC is a family of 9 high-performance secure memory devices providing 1K to 256K bits of user memory with advanced built-in security and cryptographic features. The memory is divided into 4, 8 or 16 user zones each of which may be individually set with different security access rights or used together to provide space for one or multiple data files. Cryptomemory has a configuration memory that contains registers to define the security rights for each user zone and space for passwords and secret keys used by the security logic of CryptoMemory.
