6.15 Smart Card Host Interface (SC)
6.15.1
Overview
The Smart Card Interface controller (SC controller) is based on ISO/IEC 7816-3 standard and fully
compliant with PC/SC Specifications. It also provides status of card insertion/removal.
6.15.2

ISO-7816-3 T = 0, T = 1 compliant
EMV2000 compliant
Two ISO-7816-3 ports
Separates receive/transmit 4 byte entry FIFO for data payloads
Programmable transmission clock frequency
Programmable receiver buffer trigger level
Programmable guard time selection (11 ETU ~ 267 ETU)

Block Diagram
The SC clock control and block diagram are shown in Figure 6.15-1 and Figure 6.15-2. The SC
controller is completely asynchronous design with two clock domains, PCLK and engine clock. Note
that the PCLK should be higher than or equal to the frequency of engine clock.
