ASICs
Application Specific Integrated Circuits: fully integrated magnetic stripe decoder for superior data recovery, excellent noise immunity, and easier integration.
Qwantum ASIC
MagTek's next generation of ASIC is here. The Qwantum ASIC delivers more security with less power consumption. Enabling solutions providers to protect customer data, enable secure electronic transactions, and simplify the management of sensitive data.
The Most Secure Magnetic Stripe Card Reader ASIC On the Market
Qwantum ASIC delivers optimum performance, premier security, and excellent efficiency. Building on the proven Triple‑Track Delta ASIC, the Qwantum ASIC adds support for the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) with significantly lower power demand, making it ideal for advanced, battery‑powered devices that require both card data decoding and Qwantum security features.
Small Form Factor Ready for Integration
- The Qwantum ASIC holds a massive amount of computing in a very small form factor that fits more readily into a wide array of designs and is a drop-in replacement for MagnePrint ASIC.
- Available in tapes and reels.
Engineered Design for Compatibility and Lower Power Consumption
With over 50 years of engineering experience, MagTek knows the requirement challenges that developers are faced with. That is why we provide the rails and mounting springs you need to provide the highest read rates and fit into your design needs. We also added more capabilities and security to the Qwantum ASIC, while reducing the voltage and current consumption from the MagnePrint ASIC.
Device Integration Tools to Save You Time and Money
Couple Qwantum solutions with Magensa Services and get the best of both worlds, with faster to market time with MagneFlex Browser and Wedget device integration tools.
MAGNEPRINT® ASIC
MagnePrint ASIC is the foundation of the MagneSafe Security Architecture which has evolved exponentially from its inception in 2006 when MagTek delivered the industry’s first Secure Card Reader Authenticators (SCRAs) for secure electronic transactions.
