October 2001 AE45X High Security 16-bit Dual Interface Smart Card Microcontroller Features • ISO/IEC 14443 Type B or C contactless interface • Data transmission up to 212 Kbit/s • ISO 7816 Interface • 32.5 KBytes EEPROM • 128 KBytes ROM • 5 KBytes RAM • 1024 Bit Coprocessor • Integrated Security Concept (ISC) Dual Interface: The dual interface chip AE45X belongs to the high security smart card controller family of Hitachi. It combines the security features of the ISO 7816 compliant standard AE4 products, with the advantages of an additional contactless interface according to the ISO 14443 type B or C. The AE45X is manufactured using a highly reliable 0.35 µm shrink CMOS process providing outstanding memory sizes. In contactless mode the power supply and bi-directional data transmission is done via a coil connected to the AE45X. The coil is tuned to an operating frequency of 13.56 MHz, basis of a proximity card system. It provides a high data transfer rate of 212 Kbit/s (max) at a distance of up to 10 cm, and fulfils the requirements of most of the contactless smar t card applications in terms of performance and cost. Compared to standard contact based smart cards, this system works without any physical contact between the terminal and the smart card, resulting in low maintenance costs and reliable functionality in adverse environmental conditions. The fast and high security data transfer combined with its convenient handling makes it best suited for various applications. Additionally, by using the integrated anti-collision method several cards can be operated on one terminal simultaneously. Integrated Security Concept: The AE45X designed under Hitachi’s Integrated Security Concept is ideally suited for high security applications. The ISC means that security is not just an add-on feature to standard modules or cores, security has been built-in from the start, forming an integral part of the whole Smart card design concept. The whole ISC process e.g. secure chip design environment, secured production facilities and secure handling during shipment to the customer are constantly reviewed in order to maximise the overall security package. All devices of the AE-series will be evaluated and certified by independent evaluation authorities. Many security features such as integrated sensors, distributed layout, random number generation, watchdog timer, DES engine, Firewall Management Unit (FMU) and power analysis attack protection are included providing a strong ON-CHIP hardware security structure. Uniquely, Hitachi smart card devices are fabricated using a MONOS (Metal Oxide Nitride Oxide Silicon) EEPROM structure. MONOS advantages compared to standard EEPROM structures are: high resistance to radiation disturbance, high reliability and endurance. A high performance Coprocessor is complementary to the design concept ensuring final operation system efficiency, application integrity and per formance that meet tomorrow’s needs today. Applications: The AE45X fulf ils the requirement of Smar t Card applications for large memories, high security and highspeed secure authentication, data encryption or electronic signature, as well as secure contactless data transmission. This multi-application capability combines the standard 20-071 smart card usage such as bankcards with contactless based applications for vending machines or passenger tickets. The anti-collision method of the contactless interface is particularly suitable for automatic public transport fare collection where one terminal can operate several cards simultaneously, preventing queues at the entrance gates. Other contactless applications include access control to a network or a building, and labelling and logistics involving process tracking and identification. Specification The move from a single to multi-application on a single chip requires not only additional memory for application data storage but also features such as Firewall management units to provide data integrity between applications. The AE45X includes these features and its high speed Coprocessor ensures the per formance needed for processing of arithmetical data required in today’s high security applications.
