Chipware Description
Smart Card microcontroller Integrated Circuit:
- When you mean smart, you mean microcontroller IC.
- Chip size ranges between 10 and 20mm˛. Silicon is thinned down to less than 0.2mm to
provide smart card flexibility tolerance.
- Microcontroller IC is a full micro computer that integrates :
