Product specification
Dual smart card interface
TDA8020HL
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
A specific reference supply voltage, VDDI, is used for the
interface signals CLKIN1, CLKIN2, I/O1uC, I/O2uC,
SAD0, SAD1, SCL, SDA and IRQ, which can be lower
than VDD (minimum 1.5 V), thus allowing direct control with
a low voltage supplied device.
Throughout this specification, it is assumed that the reader
is familiar with ISO 7816 norm terminology.
Supply
Pins SCL, SDA and IRQ are open-drain outputs, and may
The TDA8020HL operates with a supply voltage from
2.5 to 6.5 V. An integrated voltage supervisor ensures that
no spike appears on cards contacts during power-on or off.
The supervisor also initializes the device, and forces an
automatic emergency deactivation of the contacts in the
event of a supply drop-out.
be externally pulled up to a voltage higher than VDD
.
I2C-bus
A 400 kHz I2C-bus slave interface is used for configuring
the device and reading the status. The bus has
2 addresses, one for each card. 4 devices may be used in
parallel due to the address selection pins SAD0 and SAD1
(see Table 1).
As long as the supply voltage is below the threshold
voltage Vth1, the capacitor CDEL remains uncharged. When
the supply voltage reaches Vth1 and Vhys1, then CDEL is
charged with a small current source of approximately 2 µA.
When the voltage on CDEL reaches Vth2, then the
supervisor is no longer active. As long as the supervisor is
active (pin IRQ is LOW), bit SUPL in the status register is
set. When pin IRQ goes HIGH the supervisor becomes
inactive (see Fig.3).

Separate supply pins are used for the DC/DC converter,
allowing specific decoupling for counteracting the noise
the switching transistors may induce on the supply.
