Maxim Integrated will debut the MPOS-STD2 Mobile Point of Sale (MPOS) reference platform at the Cartes exhibition in Paris (Nov 4-6). It means payment terminal providers can enable customers of all sizes and security expertise levels to address the emerging mobile payment market. Maxim cites significantly reduced R&D costs and 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 MAX 32550 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 256K of NVSRAM.
