# Qwantum ASIC

**Qwantum ASIC** is MagTek’s next‑generation Application Specific Integrated Circuit designed to serve as the secure front‑end decoder for magnetic stripe card reader systems. Building on the proven Triple‑Track Delta ASIC, the Qwantum ASIC adds support for the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) and significantly lower power demand, making it ideal for advanced, battery‑powered devices that require both card data decoding and Qwantum security features. The Qwantum ASIC is available as part of an **OEM Integration Evaluation Kit**, which includes a USB‑C port for power, a host microcontroller connection, two MSR connections, and a communication mode select pin.

The official MagTek Qwantum ASIC support page is a central hub containing the resources you’ll need. There you can find the **Technical Reference Manual** for the OEM Integration Evaluation Kit, which describes how to integrate Qwantum Authentication enhanced data encryption technology into your magnetic stripe card reader systems, as well as a **White Paper** titled “Qwantum Media Solutions Overview and Industry” that provides an overview of Qwantum Media, a division of MagTek that supplies cards or tokens in various shapes and materials that cannot be cloned or altered and provide Qwantum Authentication Codes.
