73S1215F Teridian Semiconductor Low-Cost Smart Card Terminal Controller

Teridian Semiconductor's 73S1215F is a new advanced integrated circuit that allows manufacturers of smart card readers to build low-cost USB-connected PINpads.

The 73S1215F represents the introduction of the 73S12xx family of products, Teridian’s next generation of System-on-Chip (SoC) for smart card readers. This reader device offers an unrivaled level of performance and the most comprehensive set of features, while being made available at a competitive price level.

The 73S1215F features an 80515 core, which has an instruction set compatible with the industry standard 8052, but requires only one clock-cycle per instruction, which allows up to 24MIPS of processing. Such performance makes PIN encryption possible, as well as high-speed computation for encryption / decryption or digital signature. The device also includes 64KB Flash and 2KB of user-RAM. 

The TERIDIAN 73S1215F device is targeting EMV level 1 & 2 applications, as well as digital signature and e-banking applications such as MasterCard CAP. TERIDIAN Semiconductor provides with its silicon a comprehensive Application Programming Interface, which consists in a set of libraries in C language. It includes the smart card protocol layer – pre-approved against EMV4.1 and the USB protocol layer compliant with PC/SC specifications. A CCID reference design (embedded firmware and driver) are available under request.
