When power is supplied by VPC or VBAT, the
73S8009C is controlled by the ON_OFF pin in the
manner of a “push-on/push-off” button action. The
signals OFF_REQ and OFF_ACK provide
handshaking and control of the power “off”
function by the controller. A SPST momentary
switch to ground connected to ON_OFF is all that
is required for power control. Alternatively, the “off”
state can be initiated from the host controller
through OFF_ACK. When the 73S8009C is “off,”
the current is less than 1 µA.
DESCRIPTION
The Teridian 73S8009C is a versatile power
management and single smart card interface
circuit that is ideally suited for smart card reader
products that are battery and/or USB bus-
powered. In addition to its EMV 4.1 and
ISO-7816-3 compliant smart card-to-host interface
circuitry; it provides control, conversion, and
regulation of power for a companion host
processor circuit and power for the smart card.
The 73S8009C can operate from a single 2.7 V to
6.5 V source supply, or a combination of battery
power (4.0 V to 6.5 V) and USB power (4.4 V to
5.5 V).
When power is supplied via the VBUS pin, the
73S8009C is unconditionally in the “power-on”
state regardless of the action of the ON/OFF
switch or OFF_ACK signal. Power supply current
operating from the VBUS power when VCC is off is
less than 500 µA to conform to USB “SUSPEND”
requirements.
The 73S8009C supports 5 V, 3 V, and 1.8 V smart
cards. The smart card signals for RST, CLK, IO,
and auxiliary signals AUX1 and AUX2 are

level-shifted to the selected VCC value. Although
the host controller is required to handle the
detailed signal timing for activation and de-
activation under normal conditions, the 73S8009C
blocks any spurious signals on CLK, RST and IO
during power-up (as VCC rises) and power-down.
The 73S8009C contains two handshaking signals
for the controller: OFF indicates that a card is
present, and RDY indicates that VCC is at an
acceptable value. The 73S8009C will perform
emergency deactivation upon card removal,
voltage faults, or over-current events

The power management circuitry of the 73S8009C
allows operation from a wide range of voltages
from multiple sources. VPC is converted by using
an inductive, step-up power converter to the
intermediate voltage, VP. VP is used by linear
voltage regulators and switches to create the
voltages VDD and as required, VCC. VDD is used by
the 73S8009C and is also made available for the
companion controller circuit or other external
circuits. The two pins, VBAT and VBUS provide
inputs from alternate power sources as required.
An internal switch in the 73S8009C acts as a
single-pole, double-throw switch that selects either
VBAT or VBUS to be connected to VPC. When the
voltage on VBUS is zero, VBAT is connected to VPC.
When voltage is applied to VBUS, the switch will
select VBUS as the source for power.
