LTC4556
Smart Card Interface
with Serial Control
Description
The LTC®4556 provides all necessary power control, level
translation and supervisory functions for a smart card or
S.A.M. card interface. The part contains a low noise charge
pump plus LDO for generating VCC power, as well as all
necessary level shifting circuitry.
The card voltage can be set to either 1.8V, 3V or 5V. The
LTC4556 includes a card detection channel with automatic
debounce circuitry. To reduce wiring costs, the LTC4556
interfaces to a microcontroller via a simple 4‑wire serial
interface. Multiple devices may be connected in daisy-chain
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 LTC4556 is available in a small, low profile (0.75mm),
4mm × 4mm QFN package.
