13
EmosynTM RaniaDevelopment Environment
  • Smartcard optimized
  • Open Environment

14
Change in Development Requirements
  • Most of today's Tools
  • General purpose
  • Have to Support this model
  • Large amounts of hardware
  • Small amounts of software

15
Development tool strategy
  • Simple to use and easy to integrate into your
    environment yet powerful and cost effective
  • Optimised for Smart Card software development
  • Integrates into Windows 95, Windows 98, NT
  • Utilises latest PC industry tools for ease of use
  • Integrated development with any Compiler
    Assembler
  • User tool set configurable to protect your
    investment
  • Software only debug solution for total system
    debugging
  • Seamless integration into hardware environment
  • Total application software analysis for module
    developer
  • Low cost - excellent value for money
  • Fast time to market - lower total cost of
    ownership

16
Software Development - RaniaTM
  • Software only debug
  • Optimised for chip and system software debugging
  • Integrated debug environment supporting any IDE
  • Based on software simulator of Emosyn core
  • Breakpoint tracking back into C or Assembler
    source code
  • Programmable OLE interface compatible with
    Microsoft Windows 95 / NT
  • Allows control of simulator from Applications or
    standard office software
  • Windows programs can treat simulator as
    controllable object
  • HTML based help
  • Online updates via Emosyn website

Rania emulation
  • Hardware assisted debug
  • Upgrade to simulator tool
  • Uses FPGA and the VHDL models from the actual
    silicon
  • VHDL models give true to life emulation
  • FPGA allows close to real time operation
  • Reconfiguration in field
  • One emulator / multiple devices
  • Same control interface as simulator
  • Hardware simulator transparent to user
  • JTAG debug port
  • Target ground isolated to minimise target earth
    effects
  • Modular for easy, low cost upgrades

19
Emosyn Silicon Products
  • Microcontroller based smart card ICs
  • Market focussed feature set

20
Silicon Design Team / Philosophy
  • Memory design by semiconductor Industry
    innovators
  • State of the art silicon design verification
    tools
  • In house rapid silicon test chip capability
  • Building block approach allows quick spins of
    ASSP
  • Designed for least risk change of individual
    block to new technologies
  • Special designs possible
  • Contact Grahame Lucas (see contact slide)
  • Route map to smartcard optimised architectures
    defined
  • Inherent flexibility to allow industry to drive
    requirement

21
Product trends
  • Size of microcontroller based chip determined
    primarily by memory
  • 1st Extend the envelope of existing technologies
  • Memory density,low power, CPU speed, memory
    allocation
  • 2nd Introduce Ferroelectric based memory
  • Best fit memory for smartcards
  • Ultra low power
  • DRAM densities
  • Non volatile read and write at RAM speeds
  • No charge pump even at very low working voltages

22
Enhanced 8051 Core
  • Modern enhanced 8051 but software compatible
  • Will run existing code unmodified
  • Protection of investment
  • Existing 8051 code development environments
    compatible
  • Maximises existing customer expertise with no
    retraining
  • 3 times the performance for the same clock
  • Dual pointers for improved data manipulation
  • Designed from VHDL source
  • Silicon implementations already in volume
    production
  • Quick redesign / verification capability
  • Optimisations for speed, power, size capability
  • Same source used in emulator
