DESCRIPTION
ADVANTAGES
The Teridian 73S8024RN is a single smart card (ICC)
interface IC that can be controlled by a dedicated control
bus. The 73S8024RN has been designed to provide full
electrical compliance with ISO-7816-3, EMV 4.0
(EMV2000) and NDS specifications.
•
Traditional step-up converter is replaced by a LDO
regulator:
Æ Greatly reduced power dissipation
Æ Fewer external components are required
Æ Better noise performance
Interfacing with the system controller is done through a
control bus, composed of digital inputs to control the
interface, and one interrupt output to inform the system
controller of the card presence and faults.
Æ High current capability (90mA supplied to the card)
•
SO28 package is pin-to-pin compatible with
industry-standard TDA8004 and TDA8024
•
•
•
Card clock STOP (high and low) mode
Small format (4x4x0.85mm) 20QFN package option
True card over-current detection
The card clock can be generated by an on-chip oscillator
using an external crystal or by connection to a clock
signal.
FEATURES
The 73S8024RN incorporates an ISO-7816-3
activation/deactivation sequencer that controls the card
signals. Level-shifters drive the card signals with the
selected card voltage (3V or 5V), coming from an internal
Low Drop-Out (LDO) voltage regulator. This LDO
regulator is powered by a dedicated power supply input
VPC. Digital circuitry is separately powered by a digital

Card Interface:
Complies with ISO-7816-3, EMV 4.0 and NDS
A LDO voltage regulator provides 3V / 5V to the card
from an external power supply input
Provides at least 90mA to the card
power supply VDD
.
ISO-7816-3 Activation / Deactivation sequencer with
emergency automated deactivation on card removal
or fault detected by the protection circuitry
With its embedded LDO regulator, the 73S8024RN is a
cost effective solution for any application where a 5V
(typically -5% +10%) power supply is available.
Hardware support for auxiliary I/O lines, C4 / C8 contacts,
is provided*.
Protection includes 3 voltage supervisors that detect
voltage drops on VCC (card), VDD (digital)**, and VPC
(regulator) power supplies
The VDD voltage supervisor threshold value can be
externally adjusted**
Emergency card deactivation is initiated upon card
extraction or upon any fault generated by the protection
circuitry. The fault can be a card over-current, a VDD
(digital power supply)**, a VPC (regulator power supply), a
VCC (card power supply) or an over-heating fault.
Over-current detection 150mA max
Card clock stop high or low*
2 card detection inputs, 1 for each possible user
polarity
The card over-current circuitry is a true current detection
function, as opposed to VCC voltage drop detection, as
usually implemented in ICC interface ICs.
Auxiliary I/O lines, for C4 / C8 contact signals*
Card CLK clock frequency up to 20MHz
•
System Controller Interface:
The VDD voltage fault has a threshold voltage that can be
adjusted with an external resistor or resistor network. It
allows automated card deactivation at a customized VDD
voltage threshold value. It can be used, for instance, to
match the system controller operating voltage range.
3 Digital inputs control the card activation /
deactivation, card reset and card voltage
4 Digital inputs control the card clock (division rate
and card clock stop modes)
1 Digital output, interrupt to the system controller,
allows the system controller to monitor the card
presence and faults.
