Infineon launches 28nm process node SLC26P security controller for payment applications to ensure long-term, reliable supply of smart card and embedded security ICs with a broader product selection
The 28nm process node ICs have been in commercial production for several years. As this process technology has matured, the market demand for 28nm products has increased. Despite the numerous advantages, the technology has so far not become the dominant technology for security applications. Infineon Technologies AG (FSE: IFX / OTCQX: IFNNY) recently launched the SLC26P, the first security IC for high-volume payment applications based on a 28nm process node that can handle future requirements.
Infineon is the first company to use the 28nm process node for smart card ICs," said Ioannis Kabitoglou, Head of Digital Security and Identity Product Line at Infineon Technologies. This move also highlights Infineon's long-term commitment to the security IC market. the SLC26P is the first smart card IC product that will be manufactured using 28nm technology. Infineon plans to rapidly ramp up production in the first half of 2023 to meet the continued high market demand for security solutions and to mitigate the negative impact of semiconductor shortages on the security IC segment."
Infineon has developed security IC products for the 28nm process node together with its long-term partner TSMC. capacity issues with mature technologies such as 90nm, 65nm and 40nm have made it difficult to meet the strong demand in the security applications market over the long term. Silicon foundries are continuing to expand new capacity to address the issue. Infineon's use of the 28nm process node for security ICs brings more flexibility to the market, and also provides the field with higher performance and more energy efficient products. 28nm process node product families will be used in the coming years for smart card and embedded security IC applications, including the payment and transport markets, as well as authentication solutions.
Infineon's SLC26P is the first 28nm security controller optimized for payment applications. The product is expected to receive EMVCo in December 2022. the SLC26P brings unmatched performance to the payments industry while meeting high security standards. the SLC26P is based on the advanced Arm v8-M architecture, which is optimized for deep embedded systems and built for low latency processing.
