Buck Boost Charge Pump Generates 5V, 3V or 1.8V
The card voltage can be set to either 1.8V, 3V or 5V. The
LTC4556includesacarddetectionchannelwithautomatic
debounce circuitry. To reduce wiring costs, the LTC4556
interfaces to a microcontroller via a simple 4‑wire serial
interface.Multipledevicesmaybeconnectedindaisy‑chain
fashion so that the number of wires to the card socket
board is independent of the number of sockets. Status
data is returned over the same interface.

Small 24‑Lead 4mm × 4mm QFN Package
Extensive security features ensure proper deactivation
sequencing in the event of a supply fault or a smart card
electrical fault. The smart card pins can withstand greater
than 10kV ESD in‑situ with no additional components.
The LTC4556 is available in a small, low profile (0.75mm),
4mm × 4mm QFN package.
