IntellaSys Adds Two New Memory Reader Controller Chips to OnSpec(TM) Line.New xSil267 and xSil268 Controllers Enable Secure USB USB in full Universal Serial Bus Type of serial bus that allows peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, digitizers, data gloves, etc.) to be easily connected to a computer. Data Transfer from Popular High-Speed Storage Devices Including Flash Media and Hard Disk Drives CUPERTINO, Calif. -- IntellaSys today expanded its OnSpec[TM] line of memory controllers with the addition of the xSil267 and xSil268, both of which enable secure and rapid USB data transfer from popular Flash and Hard Disk Drive (HDD (Hard Disk Drive) See hard disk and HDD caddy. HDD - hard disk drive ) media. While the xSil267 controls serial-only, multi-slot applications such as those where Secure Digital (SD), Multimedia Card (MMC See MultiMediaCard and Microsoft Management Console. ), and Memory Stick (MS) media interface with a PC Express Card adapter or USB Host, the xSil268 controls both serial and parallel interfaces for multi-slot applications enabling it to read from a wide range of media formats including UDMA (Ultra DMA) See Ultra ATA. UDMA - ATA-4 CompactFlash (CF), MMC 4.1, SD 2.0 and IDE/ATAPI HDD as well as their variants. Both new entries feature a 128-bit, hardware-embedded, encryption/decryption function that can be enabled via firmware. This is ideal for applications where a specific media is exclusively used and partitioned to store encrypted information. Fully compliant with the Advanced Encryption Standard (cryptography, algorithm) Advanced Encryption Standard - (AES) The NIST's replacement for the Data Encryption Standard (DES). The Rijndael /rayn-dahl/ symmetric block cipher, designed by Joan Daemen and Vincent Rijmen, was chosen by a NIST contest to be AES. (AES), this security feature is augmented by two-level software authentication of passwords. According to Bryan Chin, OnSpec product marketing manager, any unauthorized attempts to decipher the 3.4x1038 keys embedded in each chip at rate of one key per second would take 149 trillion years to determine all possibilities. Designed with integrated USB 2.0 PHY See physical layer and physical. , both xSil267 and xSil268 pack a 16-bit processor along with a serial EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable ROM) A rewritable memory chip that holds its content without power. Although EEPROMs spawned flash memory, EEPROMs are byte addressable at the write level, whereas flash chips must erase a block of bytes before rewriting. port, two general purpose timers and a watchdog timer. Moreover, each device supports both Reads and Writes for SD-HS compliant media with sustained transfer rates exceeding 20MB/s as well as MS PRO media with sustained transfer rates of up to 18MB/s and MMC cards that have 4-bit and 8-bit buses with sustained transfer rates of up to 20MB/s. Both devices also provide programmable R/W R/W Read/Write R/W Right-Of-Way R/W Rotary Wing (aviation) R/W Random Width R/W Reimbursable Work R/W Raw Weight widths plus optimally controlled hardware transfer for speed and scalability. The xSil267 is packaged in a 48-pin 16mm x 16mm QFP while the xSil268 comes in a 100-pin 16mm x 16mm QFP. Both devices are in production and now sampling along with evaluation boards to qualified OEMS OEMS Office of Emergency Medical Services (Massachusetts government) OEMS Oracle Enterprise Messaging Service OEMS Order Entry Management System . Due to competitive strategies, OEM pricing information is being disclosed only to qualified manufacturers.
