SAMSUNG Introduces High Performance Smart Card IC with 90-Nanometer Technology for SIM Cards and Mobile TV Applications

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., a leader in advanced semiconductor technology, has announced its 90-nanometer (nm) smart card IC with high data storage capacity for subscriber identity module (SIM) cards and mobile TV applications.

The new 90nm smart card IC (S3CC9PF) utilizes a Samsung proprietary 16-bit CalmRISC™ processor with 16.5KB RAM, 384KB ROM, and a large capacity 288KB EEPROM.

The advanced 90nm process technology has been first applied to a 288-kilobyte (KB) electrically erasable and programmable read only memory (EEPROM) embedded smart card IC with plans by the year end to introduce a flash embedded version.
