ISO/IEC 7816-3 digital controller for integrated circuit card compliant with ETSI TS 102 221 and EMV 2000 standards

Overview

Key Features

• fully compliant with the ISO/IEC 7816-3, ETSI TS 102 221 and EMV 2000 standards
• character protocol supported (T=0)
• block transmission protocol supported (T=1)
• clock stop mode supported
• most Elementary Time Unit (ETU) standard values supported up to 8 (PPS 97)
• ETU=6 supported for test purposes
• fast TX to RX return
• shared 256 bytes RX/TX buffer
• gate count: less than 4 kgates for the core (NAND2 equivalent); 10 kgates for the RX/TX buffer (can be replaced by a 256 byte RAM cut)
• digital filtering of the I/O and RST inputs
• high-throughput synchronous mode for test procedures
• straightforward integration through AMBA APB interface (customized on request)
• C low-level API: bytes transmission/reception; digital controller configuration; fast TX/RX return; clock stop management
• proven track record through mass production in 130 nm CMOS process
• silicon proven in 130 nm, 65 nm and 55 nm CMOS processes;
• analog front end available separately
