Product details
Overview
The 73S8014RN-IL/F from Teridian Semiconductor is a single smart card (ICC) interface IC designed for asynchronous smart card support in Set-Top Box and A/V conditional access systems. It delivers ISO 7816-3, EMV 4.0, and NDS compliance; integrates an LDO regulator supporting 3V/5V card voltage selection; provides true 130mA over-current detection; and operates with 20-pin SO package, 2.7–5.5V digital supply (VDD), and 4.75–5.5V LDO input (VPC).
For engineers reviewing the 73S8014RN-IL/F datasheet, 73S8014RN-IL/F pinout, 73S8014RN-IL/F application, or 73S8014RN-IL/F equivalent, key selection criteria include NDS-compliant clock division (÷1, ÷2, ÷4, ÷6 from 27MHz), VDD fault threshold adjustability via VDDF_ADJ, embedded LDO-based card power, and firmware compatibility with 8024-type interfaces.
Technical Context
The 73S8014RN-IL/F implements a dedicated ISO 7816-3 activation/deactivation sequencer with automated hardware-triggered deactivation on VDD undervoltage, card over-current (>130mA), or VCC fault. Its clock generation supports either external 27MHz clock or crystal oscillator with programmable dividers (÷1, ÷2, ÷4, ÷6) to meet NDS-specified rates of 4.5, 6.75, and 13.5MHz.
Card interface signals (I/O, RST, CLK, VCC) are level-shifted and driven by an internal LDO powered from VPC, while digital I/Os (CMDVCC, RSTIN, 5V/#V, CLKDIV1/2, OFF, I/OUC) operate from VDD. The OFF interrupt pin provides open-drain fault reporting-including card presence, removal, and voltage/fault events-with internal 20kΩ pull-up to VDD.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDD Supply Range | 2.7V to 5.5V - powers digital logic and I/OUC interface; defines VIH/VIL thresholds for host control pins. |
| VPC Supply Range | 4.75V to 5.5V - dedicated input for LDO regulator; enables EMV 4.0 (4.75V min) and NDS (4.85V min) compliance. |
| Card Voltage Output | 3V or 5V selectable via 5V/#V pin - regulated by internal LDO; supports up to 65mA continuous load per ISO/EMV/NDS. |
| Max Card Clock Frequency | 20MHz - achievable with external 27MHz source and ÷1 divider; meets NDS high-speed mode requirements. |
| Over-Current Detection | 130mA max - true current-sense circuitry (not VCC drop-based); triggers immediate card deactivation on fault. |
| VDD Fault Threshold | Adjustable via VDDF_ADJ pin - default 2.4V nominal; externally configurable to match host controller operating voltage window. |
| ESD Protection | ±6kV HBM on card interface pins - protects I/O, RST, CLK, VCC, PRES against electrostatic discharge during insertion/removal. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 20-pin SO (Small Outline) - RoHS-compliant, lead-free, 0.3" body width, standard JEDEC MS-013AC footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| I/O (Pin 14) | Smart card bidirectional data line | Drives/receives ISO 7816 I/O signal with 11kΩ internal pull-up to VCC; supports 1MHz max data rate. |
| RST (Pin 15) | Smart card reset output | Active-high open-drain driver with 30mA current limit; controlled by sequencer during activation/deactivation. |
| CLK (Pin 17) | Smart card clock output | Programmable frequency output (up to 20MHz); slew rate controlled (≤0.5 V/ns at 5V) for EMI reduction. |
| PRES (Pin 19) | Card presence sense input | Active-high digital input with internal high-impedance pull-down; detects mechanical switch closure at card slot. |
| VCC (Pin 18) | Regulated card power output | LDO output (3V/5V selectable); requires 0.5–1.5μF low-ESR ceramic capacitor to GND per NDS spec. |
| CMDVCC (Pin 6) | Card activation command input | Negative-asserted enable: low pulse initiates ISO 7816-3 activation sequence if card is present. |
| 5V/#V (Pin 7) | Card voltage selection input | High = 5V VCC, low = 3V VCC; defaults high via internal pull-up; must remain static during CMDVCC low phase. |
| CLKDIV1/2 (Pins 20,5) | Clock divider control inputs | Set divide ratio (÷1, ÷2, ÷4, ÷6) from XTAL/external clock; default ÷2 via internal pull-ups. |
| OFF (Pin 1) | Fault & presence interrupt output | Open-drain active-low signal; reports card insertion, removal, VDD fault, or over-current; internal 20kΩ pull-up to VDD. |
| I/OUC (Pin 3) | Host processor data I/O | Bidirectional interface between host MCU and card I/O; 11kΩ pull-up to VDD; isolated from card-side noise. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| NDS-compliant clock division | Four fixed dividers (÷1, ÷2, ÷4, ÷6) from 27MHz source yield exact NDS frequencies: 4.5MHz, 6.75MHz, 13.5MHz, and 27MHz. |
| True card over-current protection | Dedicated current-sense circuit triggers deactivation at ≥130mA - avoids false trips from transient VCC droop seen in non-Teridian 8024 ICs. |
| Adjustable VDD fault threshold | VDDF_ADJ pin accepts external resistor network to set custom deactivation voltage - enables alignment with host MCU's brown-out level. |
| Integrated LDO for card power | Eliminates need for external 3V/5V regulators; reduces BOM count and PCB area while maintaining ±5% VCC regulation under 65mA load. |
| Firmware compatibility with 8024 ICs | Same register map and bus protocol as 73S8024RN; allows drop-in replacement in existing 8024-based designs without firmware changes. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar smart card interface applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 73S8024RN-IL/F | 28-pin SO package; supports synchronous + asynchronous cards; includes additional control registers and dual-clock domains. | Required for legacy systems needing full 8024 feature set (e.g., synchronous protocols, extended diagnostics). | Select when synchronous card support or enhanced register visibility is mandatory; not pin-compatible with 73S8014RN-IL/F. |
| SLC1000A-120 | 16-pin TSSOP; lacks VDD fault adjustment, fixed 2.5V/5V VCC; no NDS clock divider support; lower ESD rating (±4kV). | Suitable only for cost-sensitive, non-NDS consumer readers with basic ISO 7816-3 needs. | Choose only for simplified, low-cost implementations where NDS compliance and adjustable supervision are unnecessary. |
Compared with 73S8024RN-IL/F and SLC1000A-120, the 73S8014RN-IL/F uniquely balances NDS-specific clock flexibility, field-adjustable VDD supervision, and 20-pin compactness - making it optimal for STB and PPV systems requiring certification-ready, low-BOM smart card interfacing.

FAQ
What standards does the 73S8014RN-IL/F comply with?
The 73S8014RN-IL/F fully complies with ISO/IEC 7816-3 (electrical interface), EMV 4.0 (payment card interoperability), and NDS (Nagra Data Systems) specifications. Compliance is verified through on-chip sequencer logic, LDO regulation accuracy, clock divider ratios, and ±6kV HBM ESD protection on card pins - all confirmed in the official Teridian DS_8014RN_014 datasheet.
How does the 73S8014RN-IL/F handle card over-current events?
The 73S8014RN-IL/F uses true current-sense circuitry-not VCC voltage monitoring-to detect card over-current. When load exceeds 130mA, the device immediately initiates emergency deactivation, cutting VCC and asserting OFF low. This behavior is documented in Section 2.4 (Table 5, ICCF parameter) and Section 3.9 of the 73S8014RN-IL/F datasheet.
Can the 73S8014RN-IL/F generate NDS-required clock frequencies from a 27MHz source?
Yes. The 73S8014RN-IL/F supports four fixed clock dividers (÷1, ÷2, ÷4, ÷6) applied to a 27MHz input, yielding exact NDS frequencies: 27MHz, 13.5MHz, 6.75MHz, and 4.5MHz. This capability is explicitly stated in the "Advantages" section and validated in Table 1's CLKDIV1/CLKDIV2 truth table within the 73S8014RN-IL/F datasheet.
Is the 73S8014RN-IL/F firmware compatible with other 8024-type ICs?
Yes. The 73S8014RN-IL/F is firmware compatible with all 8024-type ICs, including the 73S8024RN-IL/F. It shares identical register mapping, control bus timing, and command structure - enabling reuse of existing host firmware without modification. This is confirmed in the "DESCRIPTION" section of the 73S8014RN-IL/F datasheet.
What is the function of the VDDF_ADJ pin on the 73S8014RN-IL/F?
The VDDF_ADJ pin on the 73S8014RN-IL/F allows external adjustment of the VDD fault detection threshold using a resistor divider. By connecting resistors between VDDF_ADJ, VDD, and GND, designers can customize the voltage at which the device deactivates the card - for example, to match the brown-out threshold of the host microcontroller. Details are provided in Section 2.7 (Table 8) and Figure 18 of the 73S8014RN-IL/F datasheet.
