AT88SC1616C-MJTG

Specialized ICS Overview

The AT88SC1616C-MJTG is a secure memory device from the CryptoMemory family, manufactured by Microchip Technology. It provides 16-Kbit (2-Kbyte) EEPROM user memory organized into sixteen 128-byte zones. The component operates within a voltage range of 2.7V to 5.5V and supports an asynchronous T=0 protocol compliant with ISO 7816-3, as well as a synchronous 2-wire serial interface. It features a 64-bit mutual authentication protocol, stream encryption, and anti-tearing functions. The device is housed in an M2-J Smart Card Module package designed for surface mount applications.

Specialized ICS Feature Summary

• 16-Kbit EEPROM user memory divided into sixteen independently configurable 128-byte zones
• Supports ISO 7816-3 asynchronous T=0 protocol and synchronous 2-wire serial interface
• Integrated hardware security engine providing 64-bit mutual authentication and stream encryption
• M2-J Smart Card Module package compatible with standard smart card readers

Specialized ICS Applications

• Smart card identity verification and data storage
• Embedded system access control and authentication
• Secure configuration parameter storage for industrial equipment

Specialized ICS Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix MJTG corresponds to the M2-J module variant configured for TWI (Two-Wire Interface) mode only. Confirm the commercial temperature grade (0°C to 70°C) aligns with the target application environment requirements before integration.

Specialized ICS Selection Notes

Select this model when a smart card form factor is required for embedded security applications. Ensure the host system supports either the asynchronous T=0 protocol or the synchronous 2-wire interface, as the module configuration dictates the available communication modes. Verify power supply stability within the 2.7V to 5.5V operating range.

Specialized ICS Part Context

This component belongs to the Atmel CryptoMemory series, now managed by Microchip Technology. The AT88SC1616C specifically offers 16-Kbit capacity, bridging the gap between smaller 1-Kbit/2-Kbit devices and larger 256-Kbit variants. The MJTG suffix identifies it as a module version intended for direct insertion into smart card readers or specialized sockets.

Specialized ICS Replacement Considerations

Compatible replacements include other AT88SC1616C variants such as AT88SC1616C-MPTG (M2-P module) or AT88SC1616C-SH (SOIC package), provided the physical footprint and interface mode (TWI vs. ISO/TWI) are accommodated by the design.
