AT88SC0808CA-MP

Specialized ICS Overview

The AT88SC0808CA-MP is a secure memory component from the CryptoMemory family, manufactured by Microchip Technology. It provides 8-Kbit (1-Kbyte) of EEPROM user memory organized into eight 1-Kbit zones. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 2.7V to 3.6V and supports an asynchronous T=0 protocol compliant with ISO 7816-3 Class B standards. It features a synchronous 2-wire serial interface capable of up to 1.0MHz operation. The package is an M2-P Smart Card Module in Cut Tape format.

Specialized ICS Feature Summary

• 8-Kbit EEPROM user memory divided into eight individually configurable 1-Kbit zones
• ISO 7816-3 asynchronous T=0 protocol support for smart card applications
• Embedded cryptographic engine supporting 64-bit mutual authentication and stream encryption
• M2-P Smart Card Module package with ISO compliance

Specialized ICS Applications

• Smart card identity and access control modules
• Secure storage for sensitive system information in embedded systems
• Multi-application smart cards requiring independent zone security

Specialized ICS Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific M2-P module variant matches the required contact configuration for the target reader. Confirm that the operating environment remains within the specified 2.7V to 3.6V supply range. Ensure proper handling procedures are followed for the Cut Tape packaging during assembly.

Specialized ICS Selection Notes

Select this model when ISO 7816-3 compatibility is required alongside hardware-level data encryption. The M2-P package is suitable for standard smart card form factors. Consider the 1.0MHz synchronous limit if high-speed bus communication is needed instead of the asynchronous smart card mode.

Specialized ICS Part Context

This component belongs to the Atmel CryptoMemory series, now managed by Microchip Technology. It integrates non-volatile storage with dedicated security logic, distinguishing it from standard EEPROMs by providing built-in anti-cloning and authentication capabilities without external microcontrollers.

Specialized ICS Replacement Considerations

The AT88SC0808CA-MJ serves as a functional alternative with identical electrical specifications but utilizes a different module marking (J vs P). Other family members like the AT88SC0404C offer reduced capacity.
