Leveraging industry-standard serial EEPROM memory, Datakey offers Plug memory tokens with SPI, I2C or Microwire interfaces and capacities from 1 Kb to 256 Kb. The tokens feature:
- Foldable Stainless Steel Bail - The plug token's stainless steel bail is used to lock the token in place. The bail also folds flat, allowing for a flush mount.
- Corrosion-resistant Contacts - Conductive elastomer contacts on the periphery of the plug token resist corrosion to ensure reliable operation in the harshest environments.
The KSD Plug Receptacle is an IP65-rated, splash-proof, panel-mount receptacle that mates with all Secure Memory Plug Tokens and Serial Memory Plug Tokens. Additional features include:
- Positive Token Retention - Turning the plug token's stainless-steel bail 45 degrees in the receptacle locks the token into place, preventing it from vibrating loose.
- Flush-Mount Design - The design of the KSD receptacle allows for a mounting where neither the receptacle nor the inserted plug token protrude, minimizing vulnerabilities during drops.
- Open Design – The open design of the KSD receptacle allows for easy in-field cleaning.
- Resistance to Environmental Hazards - KSD Plug Receptacles are resistant to sand, dust, salt-fog, rain, magnetic fields, drop shock, and ESD.
It is often desired to use a PC to read data from or write data to a Plug memory token. The KSDLink programmers support the Serial Memory and Unique ID Plug memory tokens and connect to a PC via a USB port. The programmers come with Windows® drivers and a sample application. The sample application can be used for troubleshooting when integrating a Plug memory token into an embedded design, as it provides a known-good way to communicate with the memory device. For those who wish to develop their own Windows® applications, we offer a development kit with all of the necessary tools, including the programmer.
The KSDLink development kits include everything needed to develop a Windows® application that can read data from and write data to a Serial Memory or Unique ID Plug memory token using a KSDLink programmer. The development kit includes:
- 2 x Plug memory token samples
- KSDLink Programmer
- KSD panel-mount receptacle
- Plus all cables, drivers, software and documentation
