Introduction

Put your knowledge of PICmicros™ and Smartcards to good use with the PROTON ChipDrive Mobile. This smart and compact handheld unit and a copy of Proton PICBASIC Development Suite is all you need to develop professional Smartcard applications. The Proton-CDM is a terminal providing a ready built platform for the deployment of mobile Smart Card applications.

Application

This development solution allows the creation of applications utilising:

ChipDrive Features

The unit is fully programmable and contains one of the latest 18F type PICmicro™ microcontrollers, offering a massive 32K of code space and a huge 1500 bytes of RAM. User interactivity is via a 16 key membrane keypad, and a 128 x 64 graphics LCD that can display both TrueType fonts and Graphics simultaneously ( including moving Graphics. Additional data storage is also catered for by the use of internal 8K bytes I2C serial eeprom, which can be expanded to 256K bytes

The unit is equipped with a standard IS07813 Smartcard socket and an internal mini SIM (GSM style) socket, IR is an option. (requires a TxRx device to be fitted), PCB pads and IR window are fitted as standard.

Documentation

A 40 page booklet accompanies the PROTON ChipDrive Mobile outlining its internal circuitry, and offers many code examples written in the easily understood yet powerful language of PROTON+ PICBASIC.

In addition this package includes the very popular ChipDrive Development pack for the PC, containing:

Programming the unit is accomplished by a simple serial interface and bootloader, allowing the PIC program to be transferred to the CDM in seconds via a smart card, or direct ‘device’ programming of the socketed PLCC PICmicro™.
