DESCRIPTION
The Teridian 73S8023C is a low-power, high efficiency, single smart card interface IC suitable for 3V and 5V cards. It provides full electrical compliance with ISO-7816-3 and EMV 4.0 (EMV2000) specifications.
FEATURES
• Card Interface:
▪ Complies with ISO-7816-3, EMV 4.0
▪ A DC-DC Converter provides 3V / 5V to the card
from an external power supply input
▪ High-efficiency converter: > 80% @ VDD=3.3 V,
VCC=5 V and ICC= 65 mA
▪ Up to 100 mA supplied to the card
▪ ISO-7816-3 Activation / Deactivation sequencer
with emergency automated deactivation
▪ Protection includes 2 voltage supervisors which
detect voltage drops on card VCC and on VDD
power supply
▪ The VDD voltage supervisor threshold value can be
externally adjusted
▪ True over-current detection (150 mA max.)
▪ 2 card detection inputs, 1 for either possible switch
configuration
▪ Full support of synchronous cards
• System Controller Interface:
▪ 3 Digital inputs control the card activation /
deactivation, card reset and card voltage
▪ 3 Digital inputs control the card clock (division rate
and card clock source selection)
▪ 1 Digital output, interrupt to the system controller,
allows the system controller to monitor the card
presence and faults
▪ 1 Power down digital input (places the 73S8023C
in a very low-power mode (card deactivated)
▪ 1 Chip select digital input for parallel operation of
several 73S8023C ICs.
▪ 1 External clock input (STROBE), used for
synchronous operation
▪ 1 Digital output clock, buffered version of signal on
XTALIN
▪ Crystal oscillator or host clock (XTALIN), up to
27 MHz
• Power Supply: VDD 2.7 V to 3.6 V
• 6 kV ESD Protection on the card interface
APPLICATIONS
• Point of Sales and Transaction Terminals
• Payphones
• Set-Top-Boxes, DVD / HDD Recorders
• Payment card interfaces in portable devices (PDAs,
mobile phones…)
