DESCRIPTION
The Teridian 73S8010R is a single smart card
interface IC that provides ful l electr ical compl i ance
with ISO-7816-3 and EMV 4.0 (EMV2000)
specifications.
Interfacing with the host i s done through the two-wire
I2C bus and one i nterr upt output to inform the
system controll er of the car d pr esence and faul ts.
The card clock si gnal can b e generated by an
on-chip oscillator using an external crystal, or by
connection t o a clock signal .
The Teridian 73S8010R incorporates an ISO-7816-3
activation/deactivation sequencer that controls the
car d signals. Level-shifters drive the card signals with
the sel ected card voltage (3 V or 5 V ), coming from a n
internal Low Drop-Out (LDO) voltage regulat or. This
LDO re gul ato r is powere d by a dedi ca ted power
supply input, VPC. Digital circuitry is separately
powere d by a digi tal pow er supply, VDD.
With its em bedded LD O regulat or , the Teridian
73S 8010R is a cost-effective solution for any
application wher e a 5 V (typically -5% +10%) power
suppl y is available. H ar dwar e support for auxiliary
I/O lines, C4 / C8 contacts is provided.
Emergency card deact ivati on i s initiat ed upon
card extraction or upon any fault generated by
th e pr otection c ircuit r y. The fault can be a card
over-current, a V DD (dig ital power suppl y), a VPC
(regulator power supply), a VCC (card power supply)
or an ove r -heating fault.
The card over-current circuitr y is a true current detect
f unc tio n, as o ppo se d to VCC voltage drop detection, as
usual ly i mple me nte d i n ICC interfa ce ICs.
The VDD voltag e faul t has a threshold voltag e that
can be adj ust ed with an external r esistor or resistor
network. It allows au tomated card deacti vat ion at a
custom ized VDD voltage threshold valu e. It can be
used, for instan ce, to match th e system controller
operating volt age r ange.
