➀ ATEK Access Technologies has developed the Mini-Bar, a memory token and receptacle system designed for handheld applications, which is 60% smaller than the equivalent Bar receptacle models. The MBRHN model measures 16.3mm x 14.7mm x 13.6mm and the MBRFN model is slightly smaller. The Mini-Bar tokens are larger than microSD cards but thicker and stronger. They use serial EEPROM and are available in 16kb or 256kb capacities. ➁ Next year, ATEK will introduce Mini-Bar tokens using Microchip's secure memory ICs. ➂ The Mini-Bar system aims to balance size reduction with ease of handling credentials in cryptographic products and embedded systems.
