Dramatically Reduce Time to Market and R&D Costs with Mobile POS reference Platform

San Jose, CA—October 1, 2014—With the MPOS-STD2 Mobile Point of Sale (MPOS) reference platform by Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. (NASDAQ: MXIM), payment terminal providers can enable customers of all sizes and security expertise levels to address the emerging mobile payment market. This allows them to significantly reduce R&D costs while simultaneously achieving faster time to market by rapidly moving through product design and PCI certification.

The MPOS-STD2 reference platform includes an EMV L1 stack, Bluetooth and NFC integration, a complete hardware-accelerated crypto library, and an extensive set of security measures that have been pre-evaluated by a third-party testing laboratory for compliance with PCI PTS 4.0. It also includes a complete mechanical design package that incorporates features to further ensure PCI compliance for the customer’s final product.

MPOS-STD2, based on the MAX32550 DeepCover® MPOS System on a Chip (SoC), incorporates virtually all the important system-level MPOS terminal requirements. These include integrated cryptographic and physical security elements, smart card interface, magnetic stripe reader, TFT and secure keypad controllers, an ADC, a DAC, and numerous serial interfaces for additional customization. The MAX32550 includes a 108MHz ARM Cortex-M3®, 1MB of Flash, and 256KB of NVSRAM.

Quickly and accurately identify inter-domain leakage issues in IC designs

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Power domain leakage is a major IC reliability issue, often missed by traditional tools. This white paper describes challenges of identifying leakage, types of false results, and presents Siemens EDA’s Insight Analyzer. The tool proactively finds true leakage paths, filters out false positives, and helps circuit designers quickly fix risks—enabling more robust, reliable chip designs. With detailed, context-aware analysis, designers save time and improve silicon quality.
