STMicroelectronics launches new microcontroller supporting MIFARE 22. November 2013

“ST’s new


ST33G1M2


offers the unique ability to function either in a mobile-phone NFC UICC, which handles mobile payments alongside SIM applications and user-data storage, or as a dedicated embedded secure chip in NFC smartphones.Both sectors are growing strongly; in April 2013, SIMalliance confirmed its members shipped over 30 million NFC-enabled SIMs in 2012, representing an 87% increase on 2011, while Eurosmart predicted that total Secure Element shipments would exceed 250 million in 2013.”

“The ST33G1M2 is also unique in supporting the complete MIFARE

^®

portfolio including MIFARE

^®

Classic, MIFARE

^®

DESFire

^®

and MIFARE Plus

^®

. Further enhancements include an improved EDES+ accelerator supporting 3-key triple DES security, and support for hardware-accelerated AES encryption (AES-HW).”

“Major features of ST33G1M2:”

• 32-bit SC300 secure core based on ARM
  
  ^®
  
  Cortex™-M3
• 1.2MByte embedded Flash
• Targeted for EMVCo and EAL5+ certifications
• Comprehensive MIFARE
  
  ^®
  
    support
• Reduced power consumption and silicon footprint
• Enhanced connectivity with SPI and GPIO
