iChipSec CO2128
Connect One Semiconductors — November 2006

The Connect One iChipSec CO2128 is a secure IP communication controller chip that reduces the cost and speeds the design of new IP-enabled Point-Of-Sale (POS) terminals
- The chip also includes many hardware enhancements that ensure high throughput by offloading IP and network security protocols from the host processor
- The CO2128's integrated ARM7 core processor, RTOS, security, and networking protocol stack ensure efficient and secure high-speed transaction processing
- For high-bandwidth applications like video streaming, CO2128's high-speed parallel interface supports 32 Mbps with UDP/IP hardware acceleration
- Data encryption/decryption also is accelerated in hardware, which reduces SSL3 transaction processing
- The CO2128 includes a 10/100BASE-T Ethernet media access controller and USB v.2.0 full-speed host and device interfaces, enabling the use of the newest Wi-Fi chipsets and other USB peripherals
- iChipSec can act as a router among LAN, Wi-Fi, and modem platforms, as it includes a network address translation and port-forwarding functionality
- This allows a payment terminal to serve as an access point or gateway for other terminals connected to it, helping to reduce infrastructure cost and enhance network security
