    High-performance, low-cost three-channel magnetic stripe decoder chips that significantly simplify the card-reader-to-micro-controller interface, including the Delta ASIC (proven for three-track reading) and the next-generation Qwantum ASIC with integrated encryption, SPI support, and ultra-low power modes.

    An EMV contact chip card reader module that connects via USB, features two optional auxiliary ports (SPI and UART) to easily add magnetic stripe or contactless/NFC reading, and is built on the MagneSafe Security Architecture for secure chip card transactions.

    A compact bidirectional magnetic stripe swipe reader available in USB keyboard emulation or HID format, designed for low‑cost, high‑reliability card reading in payment, membership, loyalty, and identification applications.

    Highly efficient three-channel fully integrated magnetic stripe decoder chips (including the Delta and Qwantum families) that simplify the card-reader-to-micro-controller interface via MagTek's "Shift-Out" protocol while supporting advanced features like integrated encryption, SPI, and USB-C connectivity.

    Modular card guide rails that work with MagTek’s IntelliHead product line (including the encrypted MagneSafeβ„’ IntelliHead) to provide a complete card swipe assembly in lengths such as 43mm, 60mm, 70mm, and 90mm for various OEM integration needs.

    A low-profile magnetic read head with an embedded high-performance multi-channel decoder chip that outputs raw track data using the simple "Shift-Out" protocol (data/strobe), making it ideal for battery-powered or microcontrollers where minimal power consumption is critical.

    Product

    Description

    MagneSafe IntelliHead

    The first magnetic sensing, media-validating, tamper-resistant security module that reads three tracks of magnetic stripe data, encrypts it inside the head using 3DES and DUKPT, and authenticates cards with MagnePrint technology to help OEMs meet stringent PCI security requirements.

    ASICs

    MagTek offers a range of high-performance, low-cost Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) designed for OEM developers building magnetic stripe card reading systems. These three-channel fully integrated decoder chips significantly simplify the card-reader to microcontroller interface. The family includes the Triple-Track Delta ASIC, a proven solution widely used to read three tracks of card data for financial and retail applications. The next-generation Qwantum ASIC adds support for the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI), integrated AES-256 encryption, and much lower power demand, making it ideal for advanced, battery-powered devices requiring both card data decoding and Qwantum security features. The ASICs are available in ultra-compact packages requiring minimal external components, feature a data buffer with Shift-Out protocol, high noise immunity, high performance decoding, low voltage operation, and a wide operational temperature range supporting a broad spectrum of card swipe speeds. The official MagTek ASICs support page is a central hub containing all the resources you'll need. There you can find the 2024 product catalog, the OEM Components brochure offering an overview of ASICs, Heads, Head Assemblies, and Rails, programmer's manuals including an application note for character conversion, and technical reference manuals such as the Magnetic Card Reader Design Kit and specifications for the Triple-Track Delta ASIC with Shift-Out (3 Volt and RoHS Compliant versions).
