set when the card is present; reset when the card is not present
PRESL
I/O
set when the card has been inserted or extracted; reset when the status has been read
set when I/O is HIGH and reset if I/O is LOW
SUPL
PROT
set when the supervisor has signalled a fault; reset when the status has been read
set when an overload or an overheating has occurred during a session; reset when the
status has been read
MUTE

set during ATR when the selected card has not answered during the ISO 7816 time slots
set during ATR when the selected card has answered too early
set if the card is active; reset if the card is inactive
EARLY
ACTIVE
When one of the bits PRESL, MUTE, EARLY and PROT is set, then pin IRQ goes LOW until the status byte has been
read. After power-on, bit SUPL is set until the status byte has been read, and pin IRQ is LOW until the supervisor
becomes inactive.
DC/DC converter
If VDD > 3 V, for 5 V cards, then both cards can draw up to
55 mA at the same time.
VCC1 is the supply voltage for card 1 contacts, VCC2 for
card 2 contacts. Card 1 and card 2 may be independently
powered-down, powered at 5 V or powered at 3 V. A
capacitor type step-up converter is used for generating
these voltages. This step-up converter acts either as a
doubler, tripler or follower.
If VDD > 3.3 V, for 3 V cards, then both cards can draw up
to 50 mA at the same time.
The DC/DC converter is powered with specific pins (VDDA
and AGND) to enable separate decoupling.
The output voltage, VUP, is internally fed to the VCC
generators. VCC1, VCC2 and CGND1, CGND2 are used as
a reference for all other cards contacts.
If VCC is the maximum value of VCC1 and VCC2, then there
are 4 possible situations:
• VDD = 3 V and VCC = 3 V: in this case, the DC/DC
converter acts as a doubler with a regulation of
approximately 4.0 V
Sequencers and clock counter
Two sequencers are used to ensure activation and
deactivation sequences according to ISO 7816 and
EMV norms, even in the event of an emergency (card
removal during transaction, supply drop-out and hardware
problem).
• VDD = 3 V and VCC = 5 V: in this case, the DC/DC
converter acts as a tripler with a regulation of
approximately 5.5 V
• VDD = 5 V and VCC = 3 V: in this case, the DC/DC
converter acts as a follower: VDD is applied on VUP
The sequencers are clocked by the internal oscillator.
• VDD = 5 V and VCC = 5 V: in this case, the DC/DC
converter acts as a doubler with a regulation of
approximately 5.5 V.
The activation of a card is initiated by setting the card
select bit and the start bit within the control register. This is
only possible if the card is present and if the voltage
supervisor is not active.
The switch between the modes is automatically executed
when VDD is approximately 3.4 V.
During activation the DC/DC converter is initiated (except
if another card is already powered up or if VDD = 5 V and
VCC = 3 V). VCC then goes high to the selected voltage
(3 or 5 V), the I/O lines are then enabled and the clock is
started with RST LOW.
Each card may independently draw a current up to 65 mA,
also during activation, with a supply voltage from 2.5 V up
to 6.5 V provided the sum of ICC1 and ICC2 does not
exceed 80 mA.
