Description The NXP J2A040 JCOP 2.4.1 R3 is a Java Card 2.2.2 running on Global Platform 2.1.1 with 40K of memory and replaces NXP’s JCOP21. This java card is contact interface and runs on NXP’s operating system called JCOP J2 V2.4.1 and offers 40 kByte EEPROM memory. The J2A040 JCOP is great for use where a high security solution at a low cost is needed. It’s ideal for multi application markets such as banking and finance, healthcare, mobile communications, public transportation, physical and logical access. The JCOP J2A040 offers a Java Card Open Platform operating system called JCOP V2.4.1 based on independent, third party specifications, i.e. by Sun Microsystems, the Global Platform consortium, the International Organization for Standards (ISO), EMV (Europay, MasterCard and VISA) and others. JCOP V2.4.1 family based on the SmartMX family which is manufactured in most advanced CMOS 0.14 μm 5 metal layer technology is positioned to service high volume, single- and multi-application markets such as eGovernment e.g. Smart Passport, banking/finance, healthcare, mobile communications, public transportation, physical access, logical access, pay TV and digital rights management. The Java Card, GlobalPlatform, EMV and ISO industry standards together ensure application interpretability for card issuers as well as application providers. By adhering not just to the standards themselves, but also to their spirit as evidenced in numerous heritage applications, JCOP V2.4.1 ensures large interpretability with third party applets as well as all existing smart card infrastructures. With JCOP V2.4.1 the promise of multi-sourcing any component in smart card solutions becomes true. Even in existing infrastructures, JCOP V2.4.1 equipped with proper applications can substitute any existing smart card. Within its targeted segments, the new JCOP V2.4.1 platform on SmartMX is the most advanced solution available. It is combining standard interfaces as defined in Java Card 2.2.2, GlobalPlatform Card Specification 2.1.1 and powerful cryptographic capabilities by using co-processors for public and secret key encryption supporting RSA, ECC and Triple-DES, within the high security, ultra low power, performance optimized design concept of NXP Semiconductors‘ handshaking technology. The platform supports class “C”, “B” and “A” voltage ranges (1.62 to 5.5 V) as required by application standards such as 3G Mobile Communication (3GPP) and the credit/debit card standard (EMV). The J2A040 has been discontinued by NXP, CardLogix can provide the J2A081 which is fully compatible with the J2A040 in PVC, ABS, PET, and composite cards with options like magnetic stripe, SAM and SIM cards with many security and printing graphics features.
