Thereduced external component count cuts total system costs, reduces powerconsumption, and streamlines time-to-market.
'We've added an on-chip, Dual-Role USB OTG to the Zatara(TM) productfamily, and reduced the number of external components, which means you have acompact, all-inclusive secure transaction product all on one chip. It's justanother layer of defense for our customers,' added Bladen.
