Infinity USB is connected to and powered by the USB (Universal Serial Bus) port. Just one standard A-B USB-cable is needed (no need for an additional DC-adaptor). Being USB1.1 compliant and working on both USB1.1 and USB2.0 controllers, ensures future compatibility. When not in use, Infinity USB enters a powerdown state using only 0.06 Watt (0.5kWh/year).
Infinity USB programs most popular smartcards on the market:
PIC-based::
- Wafercard (16C84, 16F84, 16F84A)
- Goldcard (16F84/16F84A + 24C16)
- Silvercard (16F876/16F877 + 24C64)
- Greencard (16F876/16F877 + 24C128)
- Greencard2 (16F876/16F877 + 24C256)
- Bluecard (16F84A + 24C64)
- CanaryCard (16F628 + 24C16)
- EmeraldCard (16F628 + 24C64)
- Singlepic (16F876, 16F627, 16F628).
AVR-based:
- Funcard/Funcard2 (AT90S8515 + 24C64)
- PrussianCard/Funcard3 (AT90S8515 + 24C128)
- PrussianCard2/Funcard4 (AT90S8515 + 24C256)
- PrussianCard3/Funcard5 (AT90S8515 + 24C512)
- PrussianCard4/Funcard6 (AT90S8515 + 24C1024)
- JupiterCard (AT90S2343 + 24C16)
- JupiterCard2 (AT90S8535 + 24C64)
- FunCard ATmega161 (ATmega161 + 24C64)
- FunCard ATmega163 (ATmega163 + 24C256)
Further cards/combinations of CPU/EEPROM will be added when new cards become available. The generic hardware/firmware ensures that only a software download will be needed for adding most new cards.
Infinity USB is based on a 24MHz RISC processor, and has some of the fastest programming times of any programmer on the market.
The following are times measured while programming and verifying entire cards.
| Goldcard |
12 seconds |
| Silvercard |
58 seconds |
| JupiterCard |
14 seconds |
| Funcard |
48 seconds |
| FunCard ATmega161 |
50 seconds |
These are maximum times, typical hexfiles takes less time.
Software runs under Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows ME and Windows XP.
It has been developed with ease of use in mind, and automatically detects which type of card is inserted. Furthermore it has an advanced detection algorithm, for detecting unknown cards.
