ST19KF16

The ST19KF16, a member of the ST19 device family, is a serial access microcontroller especially designed for very large volume and cost competitive secure portable objects, where high performance Public Key Algorithms will be implemented, to cut down initialization and communication costs and to increase security.

Its internal Modular Arithmetic Processor ST19KF16 is designed to speed up cryptographic calculations using Public Key Algorithms. Based on a 1088 bit architecture, it processes modular multiplication and squaring up to 2176 bit operands.

The ST19KF16 is based on a STMicroelectronics 8 bit CPU core including on-chip memories: 1984 Bytes of RAM, 32 KBytes of USER ROM and 16 KBytes of EEPROM.

RAM, ROM and EEPROM memories ST19KF16 can be configured into partitions. Access rules from any memory partition to another partition are setup by the user defined Memory Access Control Logic.

ST19KF16 is manufactured using the highly reliable ST CMOS EEPROM technology.

As all other ST19 family members, ST19KF16 is fully compatible with the ISO standards for Smartcard applications.
