Smart Card Interface

When a card is inserted into the reader (if PRES is
active), the host microcontroller can begin an activation
sequence (start a card session) by pulling CMDVCC
low. The following events form an activation sequence
(Figure 3):
1) Host: CMDVCC is pulled low.
2) DS8024: The internal oscillator changes to high
frequency (t
0
).
3) DS8024: The voltage generator is started
(between t
0
and t
1
).
4) DS8024: V
CC
rises from 0 to 5V or 3V with a con-
trolled slope (t
2
= t
1
+ 1.5
× T). T is 64 times the
internal oscillator period (approximately 25µs).
5) DS8024: I/O, AUX1, and AUX2 are enabled (t
3
=
t
1
+ 4T).
6) DS8024: The CLK signal is applied to the C3 con-
tact (t
4
).
7) DS8024: RST is enabled (t
5
= t
1
+ 7T).
An alternate sequence allows the application to control
when the clock is applied to the card.
1) Host: Set RSTIN high.
2) Host: Set CMDVCC low.
3) Host: Set RSTIN low between t
3
and t
5
; CLK will now
start.
4) DS8024: RST stays low until t
5
, then RST becomes
the copy of RSTIN.
5) DS8024: RSTIN has no further effect on CLK after t
5
.
If the applied clock is not needed, set CMDVCC low
with RSTIN low. In this case, CLK starts at t
3
(minimum
200ns after the transition on I/O, see Figure 4); after t
5
,
RSTIN can be set high to obtain an answer to request
(ATR) from an inserted smart card. Do not perform acti-
vation with RSTIN held permanently high.
Active Mode
When the activation sequence is completed, the
DS8024 card interface is in active mode. The host
microcontroller and the smart card exchange data on
the I/O lines.
