AT88SC0204C
2022DS–SMEM–04/03
Description The AT88SC0204C member of the CryptoMemory family is a high-performance secure
memory providing 2 Kbits of user memory with advanced security and cryptographic
features built in. The user memory is divided into four 64-byte zones, each of which may
be individually set with different security access rights or combined together to provide
space for 1 to 4 data files.
Smart Card Applications The AT88SC0204C provides high security, low cost, and ease of implementation with-
out the need for a microprocessor operating system. The embedded cryptographic
engine provides for dynamic, symmetric-mutual authentication between the device and
host, as well as performing stream encryption for all data and passwords exchanged
between the device and host. Up to four unique key sets may be used for these opera-
tions. The AT88SC0204C offers the ability to communicate with virtually any smart card
reader using the asynchronous T = 0 protocol defined in ISO 7816-3.
Embedded Applications Through dynamic, symmetric-mutual authentication, data encryption, and the use of
encrypted checksums, the AT88SC0204C provides a secure place for storage of sensi-
tive information within a system. With its tamper detection circuits, this information
remains safe even under attack. A 2-wire serial interface running at 1.5 MHz is used for
fast and efficient communications with up to 15 devices that may be individually
addressed. The AT88SC0204C is available in industry standard 8-lead packages with
the same familiar pinout as 2-wire serial EEPROMs.

Supply Voltage (V
CC
) The V
CC
input is a 2.7V to 5.5V positive voltage supplied by the host.
Clock (SCL/CLK) In the asynchronous T = 0 protocol, the SCL/CLK input is used to provide the device
with a carrier frequency f. The nominal length of one bit emitted on I/O is defined as an
“elementary time unit” (ETU) and is equal to 372/f.
When the synchronous protocol is used, the SCL/CLK input is used to positive edge
clock data into the device and negative edge clock data out of the device.
Serial Data (SDA/IO) The SDA pin is bidirectional for serial data transfer. This pin is open-drain driven and
may be wired with any number of other open drain or open collector devices. An exter-

nal pull-up resistor should be connected between SDA and V
CC
. The value of this
resistor and the system capacitance loading the SDA bus will determine the rise time of
SDA. This rise time will determine the maximum frequency during read operations. Low
value pull-up resistors will allow higher frequency operations while drawing higher aver-
age power supply current.
Reset (RST) The AT88SC0204C provides an ISO 7816-3 compliant asynchronous answer to reset
sequence. When the reset sequence is activated, the device will output the data pro-
grammed into the 64-bit answer-to-reset register. An internal pull-up on the RST input
pad allows the device to be used in synchronous mode without bonding RST. The
AT88SC0204C does not support the synchronous answer-to-reset sequence.
Device Architecture
User Zones The EEPROM user memory is divided into 4 zones of 512 bits each. Multiple zones
allow for different types of data or files to be stored in different zones. Access to the user
zones is allowed only after security requirements have been met. These security
requirements are defined by the user during the personalization of the device in the con-
figuration zone. If the same security requirements are selected for multiple zones, then
these zones may effectively be accessed as one larger zone.
Control Logic Access to the user zones occurs only through the control logic built into the device. This
logic is configurable through access registers, key registers and keys programmed into
the configuration zone during device personalization. Also implemented in the control
logic is a cryptographic engine for performing the various higher-level security functions
of the device.
