USIM functionality, security and high-density flash
mSIM high-density SIM cards, using our innovative MegaSIM architecture, are fully functional SIM cards, in a ubiquitous SIM card form factor, that offer secure personal storage in a two-chip solution:

Secure smart card controller with additional crypto engines, crypto libraries and MPU provide the highest level of secure operations
A secure, high-performance controller, with embedded mask ROM, is based on a 32-bit ARM SC100 secure core. The controller empowers mSIM cards with multi-tasking capabilities.
NAND flash memory and advanced crypto engines offer high-performance, low-power and secure personal storage.
High speed data protocol for smart card to terminal interface, and quick and seamless direct access from an external interface to the flash memory, accelerate performance without inflating the total power budget
