Calvus Penta-band SMD Antenna

The MAX66140 combines 1024 bits of user EEPROM with secure hash algorithm (SHA-1) challenge-and-response authentication (ISO/IEC 10118-3 SHA-1), a 64-bit unique identifier (UID), one 64-bit secret, and a 13.56MHz ISO 15693 RF interface in a plastic key fob.

The memory is organized as 16 blocks of 8 bytes plus three more blocks—one for the secret and two for data and control registers. Except for the secret, each block has a user-readable write-cycle counter. Four adjacent user EEPROM blocks form a memory page (pages 0 to 3).

The integrated SHA-1 engine provides a Message Authentication Code (MAC) using data from the EEPROM of the device and the 64-bit secret to guarantee secure, symmetric authentication for both reading and writing to the device.

 APPLICATION NOTES ...


Advantages of Internet Protocol (IP) Cameras and H.264 Compression for Security and Surveillance Video
This application note discusses the advantages Internet protocol (IP) cameras have in security and surveillance video systems over analog cameras. Unlike their predecessors, IP cameras support high-definition (HD) images, local data storage, video analytics, and remote control functionality. The application note also details the benefits of using H.264 video compression technology for IP camera networks, and presents Maxim's Mobicam3 IP camera reference design kit.
