WESTPORT, Conn.-STMicroelectronics said it is sampling the Java-based smart card chip known as ST22FJ1M from NCT Group Inc.
ST believes it “opens up a host of new market opportunities in the mobile, pay TV, IT security and identification markets.”
“Storing application code in Flash rather than Read-only Memory greatly increases the flexibility of the card by allowing personalization of generic products, software upgrades and post-issuance downloads,” said both companies.
