Intel and Infineon Technologies work on HD SIM card

Wednesday, November 14, 2007

Intel and Infineon Technologies are planning to start sampling high-density SIM card sometime next year with production slated for 2009. Infineon’s HD security microcontroller will be integrated with Intel’s NOR flash memory technology ranging from 4MB to 64MB. As part of the venture, Infineon will develop a 32-bit security microcontroller based on its existing SLE 88 family for use with HD SIM cards. By late 2008, the new USB interface of SIM cards will enable additional data-intensive mobile applications, services and over-the-air downloads.

Infineon speeds up NFC transfer rates with new interface

Infineon Technologies has released a high-speed open interface for the company’s NFC security microcontrollers (eSE).

The DCLB (Digital Contact Less Bridge) interface is an open solution that connects the eSE and the NFC modem for faster data transfer rates. According to Infineon, this is achieved by dispensing with the temporary storage of data packets in the NFC modem, allowing the data to be transferred directly from the terminal to the Secure Element without creating additional protocol overheads.
