StarChip is sampling SCF335H SIM controllers for USIM Java card applications

New generation of SIM controllers is designed to cover demands of USIM Java CardTM applications, with the SCF335H being the first product of a new family that will fully encompass the Telecom Smart Card ICs market

StarChip has announced that it is currently sampling its SCF335H SIM controller. The SCF335H product is designed to cover demands of USIM Java card applications.

StarChip has planned to cover SIM native, USIM Java card, LTE and high-end SIM/NFC applications. The SCF136H covering the native market, will be available in 2012.

The SCF335H is based on Cortus APS3s 32bit CPU enabling 25Mips@25MHz across a broad range of temperatures. Its flash memory provides robust data retention (>25years) with several hundred millions cycles of endurance. StarChip says that these improvements allow at least 30% cost savings on the SCF335H compared to the previous generation of StarChip SIM controllers.

"The SCF335H, first product of our new generation of SIM controller family fully illustrates our strategy: Give our customers the features necessary to their application and Innovate to drive cost down", said Yves Fusella, CTO of StarChip.
