DESCRIPTION
The Teridian 73S8010C is a single smart card
interface IC. It provides full electrical compliance
with ISO-7816-3 and EMV 4.0 specifications.
Interfacing with the host is done through the two-wire
I2C bus. Data exchange with the card is managed
from the system controller using the I/O line (and
eventually the auxiliary I/O lines).
An on-chip oscillator using an external crystal, or
connection to a clock signal coming from the
system controller can generate the card clock
signal.
The 73S8010C IC incorporates an ISO-7816-3
activation/deactivation sequencer that controls the
card signals. Level shifters drive the card signals
with the selected card voltage (3 V or 5 V), coming
from an internal DC-DC converter.
With its high-efficiency DC-DC converter, the
Teridian 73S8010C is a cost-effective solution for
any smart card reader application to be powered
from a single 2.7 V to 3.6 V power supply.
Hardware support for auxiliary I/O lines, C4 / C8
contacts, is provided.
Emergency card deactivation is initiated upon card
extraction or upon any fault generated by the
protection circuitry. The fault can be a VDD (digital
power supply), a VCC (card power supply), a card
over-current, or an over-heating fault.
ADVANTAGES

The inductor-based DC-DC converter provides
higher current and efficiency than the usual
charge-pump capacitor-based converters
