Microchip Technology AT88SC1616C-MP

The AT88SC1616C provides 2,048 bytes of user EEPROM organized as sixteen 128-byte zones. Each zone can have its own access rights; the on-chip security functions support mutual authentication and encrypted transfers. The MP ordering specifies an M2 P contact module with an Atmel-logo-marked P style and ISO interface.

The catalog's original package is M2 P, Smart Card Module (ISO), matching the manufacturer's MP order. The P module has a square glob top and is distinguished from the J module; the ISO MP order must also be distinguished from the TWI-only MPTG order.

Assembly checks

• Verify the M2 P module outline, contact orientation and square glob top.
• Check that C2 is bonded for the ISO reset function.
• Review excised module dimensions and carrier-tape handling with the card assembler.

The registered package JPG is not currently available on the production site. Restore and verify the correct image before publication.

The manufacturer's ISO-module pin-assignment table gives the following M2 P contact functions.

The TWI-only module lists C2 as NC; do not transfer a TWI-only contact map to this MP ISO order.

Consult the manufacturer's detailed electrical tables, timing requirements and module drawing before design release.

The same-family MJ order uses a J module, while MPTG is a two-wire-only P module; neither should be assumed to replace this MP ISO part without checking mechanical fit, reset contact, protocol, security personalization and operating range. Different CryptoMemory densities change zone organization. No unverified internal catalog replacement link is provided.

The original AT88SC1616C literature was issued under the Atmel name and is maintained by Microchip Technology. Microchip lists this mature family as not recommended for new designs; review lifecycle and security requirements with the manufacturer for new programs.

Inspect the exact manufacturer order code, module style, traceability and security-personalization state. Verify that credentials and access rights are provisioned using a controlled process; the presence of cryptographic functions alone does not establish that a delivered module has been personalized correctly.

Verify the MP ISO ordering, C2 reset contact, supply voltage, reader timing, security personalization and P-module assembly drawing. The registered M2 P JPG is missing from the production website and must be restored and visually checked before publication.
