DATAKEY ELECTRONICS RELEASES THE KEYLINK™ III / SLIMLINKk™ III READER/WRITERS: SUBSTANTIALLY INCREASES SPEED FOR SERIAL FLASH DATA CARRIERS
 March 1, 2007. Savage, MN - Datakey Electronics, Inc., manufacturer of rugged, re-programmable memory Keys and Tokens is now shipping the new KeyLink™ III and SlimLink™ III Reader/Writers. These devices were designed specifically to optimize  throughput speeds when used with SPI-flash memory Keys and Tokens. In addition to our serial flash products, these Readers also support interchangeable use of all our standard serial EEPROM products including those that utilize Microwire, I 2C and SPI interface protocols.
These new Reader/Writers are ideal for developments and programming high-capacity SPI-Flash Keys and Tokens (SFK/SFT/SFX). These 1 to 32Mbit Keys and Tokens have become increasingly popular for data transfer applications such as in-field firmware updates, data logging and “recipe” uploading. The KeyLink III / SlimLink III have a USB interface and offer typical write speeds of 1.2Mbits/sec—allowing the user to write the entire contents of a 1MByte data carrier in under 7 seconds—an improvement of more than one hundred-fold from the prior generation. These new products also offer a simple migration for existing applications.
The KeyLink III/SlimLink III also have the capability to read/write unique indentifier Keys and Tokens. These products allow OEM designers to implement copy-proof data carrier applications. While the most common application for the KeyLink III / SlimLink III is product development, these products are entirely suitable for field deployment (re-sale) by OEM users of Datakey Electronics’ Keys and Tokens. They have been designed to yield better price flexibility at high volumes than earlier models. They can also be provided in panel-mount configurations (Keytroller™ III / Slimtroller™ III).
Datakey Electronics’ also offers KeyLink III / SlimLink III Development Kits. These Development Kits include:
- New KeyLink III or SlimLink III Reader/Writer (USB) with Cable
- Customer-specified Key or Token samples
- Sample Keyceptacles® or Receptacles
- Our new & improved PC demo software
with source code
- User's Reference Manual
