1.2 Application
The contactless smart card reader module UIC680 is mainly to support the contactless
payment systems. The small footprint size of the module makes it easily to integrate to the
current transaction system such as Point-of-Sale terminal, kiosk, and vending machine
station as the part of the system. The module communicates with a host computer or
terminal using a standard RS-232, USB or TTL interface.
At the meantime, UIC680 offers both RS232 and TTL magnetic stripe decoder pass-thru
function to allow the terminal to share the same input port with other peripheral devices.
The TTL interface output is in the F2F decoder data emulation. This benefits the existing
system without change its hardware configuration to catch up the future payment trend.
