73S1217F Teridian Semiconductor Low-Cost Smart Card Terminal Controller

Teridian Semiconductor's 73S1217F is a new advanced integrated circuit that allows manufacturers of smart card readers to build low-cost USB-connected PINpads.

The 73S1217F is a single-chip PINpad smart card reader with power management features and USB and serial connectivity, ideally suited for handheld PINpads, critical in e-banking and digital identification for corporate and government ID applications, and USB-connected peripherals.

This unique, single-chip smart card terminal solution incorporates embedded 64K of flash memory, and is therefore optimised to build low-cost, handheld PINpad card readers, in particular combination devices that can be used alternatively in standalone mode (un-connected) or attached to a computer (USB-connected).

With the 73S1217F, personal PINpads for applications like E-banking and digital identification, including secure login, authentication and certification for corporate ID-badges, and citizen IDs, can now take advantage of the USB connectivity, with almost no cost impact compared to traditional unconnected solutions.

The 73S1217F builds upon the feature set of the Teridian 73S1215F with the addition of a DC-DC converter, plus several built-in power management features. In USB applications, the device enables operation from a single power supply, that can be either the USB bus power (VBUS = 4.40V to 5.50V) or a set of battery cells (VBAT 4.0V to 6.5V). In standalone applications, the 73S1217F requires a single 2.7V to 6.5V power supply source. In addition, the IC features built-in switches between VBUS and VBAT, and hardware support for a main system ON/OFF switch. In OFF mode, the circuit typically draws less than 1mA, making it ideal for applications where battery life must be maximized, and eliminating the need for several discrete components and ICs in the design process.

Teridian provides a free-of-charge CCID reference design (embedded firmware) compatible with WindowsTM standard CCID driver, or with Teridian’s proprietary CCID driver which supports additional features (PINpad, display, multi-card slots) that are not supported by WindowsTM CCID driver. This CCID reference design is fully compliant with EMV 4.1 and WHQL(1).
