- Support of the ISO/IEC 7816-3 and –4, SWP, MMC/SD, microSD, USB 2.0 protocols
- Support of a multitude of memory chips
- Full implementation of the T=0 and T=1 protocols
- Fully compatible with ETSI TS 102 613 and ETSI TS 102 622 specification
- Open for implementation of custom protocols
- Ideal tool for personalisation and initialisation of microSD components
- Interaction with secure microSD possible through flexible API
- Endless possibilities of protocolary customisation
- Support of the fastest smartcards
- Compatible with micro-modules, smartcards, M2M components
- Fast hardware assisted data transmission mechanism, ensuring the maximum throughput
- Open platform : integrate the MP300 MC1 inside your own personalisation platform
- Compatible with the MVPi production machine interface
This production coupler will typically be used in the following contexts :
- OS loading, pre-personalisation, or personalisation of smartcards
- Personalisation of SIM, U-SIM, and banking cards
- Multi stations personalisation machines for contact smartcards
- Duplication of microSD cards
- Personalisation of M2M components
Number of independent test heads per board : 4

User Interface
MPScope, MVPi |
The MP300 MC1 can be accessed using several ways :
- First, using the driver dll that we supply, which enables the user to access all functionnalities of the MP300 MC1 from any programming language that supports Dll
- For users prefering to embed their code directly inside the MP300 MC1, Micropross has designed the SORB interface, which completely encapsulates all programming tasks related to the management of embedded applications, and lets the user focus on the smartcard oriented code
- Finally, we can also supply our own user interface, MVPi, which elegantly conciliates convenience of use, high throughput and stability.
MVPi is able to handle up to 32 test heads at the same time, but upgrades are easily possible.
Statistics are available, either separated between all test heads, or displayed for the whole system
More statistics are available, showing the current test time, as well as the average one.
As smartcards are being produced, logfiles are also generated, that allow to keep track of the produced components. The content of this logfile is controlled by the user.
- Various sizes of rack housing, who allow to protect the Micropross testers from any kind of danger
- External smartcard readers, for application development, or integration into manual working places
- The MVPi software interface, that allows to easily integrate our MP300 production tools inside production machines
We also supply packages to extend the warranty of the tester. Please ask us for the maintenance contracts available.
