 Winbond Electronics Corp. is pleased to show its SMART@IO® that supports Memory Stick, SD(Secured Digital), MMC(Multi-Media Card), Smart Card (PC/SC) and all legacy I/O features. SMART@IO® has been certified by Microsoft WHQL(Windows Hardware Quality Labs) and has been adopted by many PC and motherboard makers.
Besides the SMART@IO® chips, Winbond also provide an application program called SMART MANAGER to implement many convenient functions for Smart Card application. Such as "Windows Smart Card Logon", "GSM SIM Card Phone Book Edit", "File Protection", etc. However to own a smart card or memory card reader, no matter via what interface: PCMCIA, USB, or COM port, connected with the personal computer is still expensive. With the solution that Winbond provided, the cost to own a smart card and memory card reader has been dramatically reduced. SMART@IO® has integrated the function and the interface into single IC. Therefore, inside the reader, there are only the socket and cable, but no controller IC. Also, the reader module can be built to fit into the 3.5" floppy disk slot of the PC case, which will prevent the reader to be stolen. Winbond has successfully enabled several reader module makers to provide this very-low cost reader module.
The SMART@IO® solution Winbond provides is the best TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) and will be highly valuable to PC end-user.
