Product details
Overview
AT83C23OK203-RARUM from Atmel is a certified smart card reader interface IC integrating USB CCID-compliant host interface and ISO 7816-compliant smart card interface. It supports 5V/3V/1.8V cards, delivers up to 60 mA card supply current, detects card insertion/removal automatically, and operates across industrial & green temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) in VQFP32 package.
For engineers reviewing the AT83C23OK203-RARUM datasheet, AT83C23OK203-RARUM pinout, AT83C23OK203-RARUM application, or AT83C23OK203-RARUM equivalent, this device enables rapid integration of EMV 2000- and PC/SC-compliant smart card readers into USB peripherals-without custom firmware or driver development-leveraging pre-certified CCID stack and embedded Atmel AT83C5123 microcontroller core.
Technical Context
The AT83C23OK203-RARUM implements a dual-interface architecture: a USB 2.0-compliant CCID host controller (12 Mbit/s) paired with a high-performance ISO 7816-3 smart card interface supporting T=0, T=1, TWI (S=8), SLE4432/42 (S=10), and SLE4418/28 (S=9) protocols. It embeds short-circuit and thermal protection plus automatic card type detection logic.
It integrates secure pin entry (SPE), LED status signaling (green/red), and firmware for WHQL, EMV 2000, HBCI, and ISO 7816 compliance-all running on its internal AT83C5123 8-bit microcontroller core with on-chip flash and RAM.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar smart card interface applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ACS ACR39U-S1 | USB HID-class reader (not CCID); no embedded MCU; external firmware dependency | Limited to basic T=0 card reads; lacks SPE, thermal protection, and EMV 2000 pre-certification | Choose only for cost-sensitive HID-only use cases where CCID compliance is not required |
| Infineon SLB9670 | TPM 2.0 + smart card controller combo; larger QFN48 package; higher BOM cost | Targets trusted platform modules with integrated crypto; over-spec'd for pure reader applications | Select when TPM functionality and side-channel resistant crypto acceleration are mandatory alongside card reading |
Compared with ACS ACR39U-S1 and Infineon SLB9670, the AT83C23OK203-RARUM uniquely delivers pre-certified CCID + ISO 7816 integration in a minimal VQFP32 footprint-enabling faster time-to-market for USB-attached readers without compromising EMV or HBCI compliance.
