The LTC®1955 provides all necessary supervisory and
power control functions for two smart cards, two S.A.M.
cards or a combination of S.A.M. and smart cards. It
provides a charge pump for battery-powered applications
as well as all necessary level shifting circuitry.
The card voltages can be independently set to 1.8V, 3V or
5V. Both card interfaces include a card detection channel
with automatic debounce circuitry. To reduce wiring costs,
the LTC1955 interfaces to a microcontroller via a simple
4-wire serial interface. Multiple devices may be connected
in daisychain fashion so that the number of wires to the
card socket board is independent of the number of sockets.
Status data is returned over the same interface.
Extensive security features ensure proper deactivation
sequencing in the event of a supply fault or a smart card
electrical fault. The smart card pins can withstand greater
than 10kV ESD in-situ with no additional components.
The LTC1955 is available in a low profile (0.75mm) 5mm
× 5mm QFN package.
