Product details
Overview
AT83C24B-PRTUL from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a smart card reader interface IC with integrated DC/DC converter, designed for EFT/POS terminals and set-top boxes. It delivers programmable card supply voltages (5V ±5%, 3V ±0.2V, 1.8V ±0.14V), supports ISO 7816/EMV2000/GSM standards, provides 8kV+ ESD protection on card I/O pins, and operates across 3V–5.5V input with industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C).
For engineers reviewing the AT83C24B-PRTUL datasheet, AT83C24B-PRTUL pinout, AT83C24B-PRTUL application, or AT83C24B-PRTUL equivalent, this page details its TWI-configurable smart card power management, hardware/software activation sequences, card presence detection, automatic reset transition timing control, and dual-package support (SO28/QFN28) - all critical for secure, low-power, multi-card reader designs.
Technical Context
The AT83C24B-PRTUL integrates a high-efficiency (80–98%) step-up DC/DC converter for generating CVCC from 3V–5.5V VCC, enabling Class A (5V), Class B (3V), or 1.8V smart card operation. Its TWI interface supports up to 8 devices via programmable A2/A1/A0 address selection (0x40–0x4E), with configurable interrupt output (PRES/INT) and card presence detection (CPRES) with programmable filtering.
It implements ISO 7816-compliant clock control (CCLK), reset generation (CRST), and bidirectional I/O/C4/C8 signal routing with on-chip level shifters. The device supports both hardware activation (via CMDVCC) and software activation (via TWI), including Automatic Reset Transition (ART) mode with 16-bit timer-based ATR timing validation (ta = 200 cycles, tb ≥ 400 cycles, tc ≤ 40000 cycles).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Card Supply Voltage | Programmable: 5V ±5% @ 65 mA (Class A), 3V ±0.2V @ 65 mA (Class B), 1.8V ±0.14V @ 40 mA - enables single-chip support for all ISO 7816 voltage classes. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3V to 5.5V - allows direct connection to common system rails without external regulators. |
| DC/DC Efficiency | 80% to 98% - minimizes thermal load and extends battery life in portable readers. |
| ESD Protection | 8 kV+ on CIO/CC4/CC8 pins (MIL-STD-883 Class 3) - ensures robustness against handling and contact discharge in public terminals. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and consumer set-top box environments. |
| Max Clock Input | 48 MHz - supports high-speed card protocols and fast ATR response. |
| Power-down Current | 30 µA typical (no card inserted) - enables ultra-low standby consumption in always-on readers. |
Pinout & Package
AT83C24B-PRTUL is available in SO28 and QFN28 packages. Both share identical pin functions and electrical characteristics; package choice depends on board space and thermal requirements.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A2/CK, A1/RST, A0/3V | TWI Address Inputs / Mode Select | Set 7-bit slave address (0x40–0x4E) at reset; A0/3V selects CVCC voltage (High = 5V, Low = 3V). |
| PRES/INT | Open-drain Interrupt Output | Configurable as card presence indicator or event interrupt (insertion, overcurrent, VCARDERR); internal pull-up optional. |
| RESET | Open-drain Reset Control | Drives low on POR/PFD; accepts external active-low reset; can reset external devices during power fail. |
| SCL / SDA | TWI Bus Interface | Standard two-wire interface (up to 400 kbit/s); enables full configuration, status readback, and session control. |
| CIO / CC4 / CC8 | Smart Card I/O Contacts | Direct connection to card C1/C4/C8; 8 kV+ ESD protected; level-shifted to CVCC domain. |
| CRST / CCLK | Card Reset & Clock Outputs | Programmable CRST timing (including ART mode); CCLK sourced from CLK, DCCLK, or A2/CK in transparent mode. |
| CVCC / CVCCin | Card Power Supply | Regulated output for smart card; CVCCin must be shorted to CVCC; requires external decoupling per class spec. |
| LI | DC/DC Inductor Connection | Connects to external 4.7 µH coil; supplies current to charge pump; may be tied directly to VCC if step-up disabled. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ISO 7816 Compliance | Fully implements EMV2000, GIE-CB, GSM, and WHQL standards - eliminates need for external protocol logic in certified payment terminals. |
| Programmable Activation Sequence | Hardware (CMDVCC-triggered) or software (TWI-controlled) activation with automatic deactivation on error - ensures safe, standards-compliant card insertion/removal. |
| Automatic Reset Transition (ART) | 16-bit timer validates ATR arrival window (400–40000 card clocks) - guarantees ISO 7816 timing compliance without host CPU intervention. |
| Voltage Supervisor with PFD | Dual-mode power monitoring (VCC or internal 3V rail) triggers controlled deactivation on undervoltage - prevents corrupted card sessions during brown-out. |
| Multi-Device TWI Architecture | 8-device addressing via A2/A1/A0; general-call reset capability - simplifies expansion of multi-slot reader systems with shared bus. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar smart card interface applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SLB9670 | Trusted Platform Module (TPM) with integrated smart card controller; lacks dedicated DC/DC converter and TWI address flexibility. | Designed for PC/platform security, not standalone card readers; no ISO 7816 physical layer drivers. | Select only when TPM functionality is required alongside card interface - not a drop-in replacement. |
| SC16IS752 | UART-to-TWI bridge IC; no smart card power management, CVCC regulation, or ISO 7816 timing control. | Used for serial peripheral expansion, not smart card interfacing; requires external level shifters and regulators. | Choose only for non-ISO 7816 auxiliary communication - cannot replace AT83C24B-PRTUL's core card interface function. |
Compared with SLB9670 and SC16IS752, the AT83C24B-PRTUL uniquely integrates ISO 7816-compliant analog front-end, programmable card power, and TWI-configurable timing - making it the only solution that satisfies full EMV/ICAO reader requirements without external support circuitry.

FAQ
What is the minimum clock frequency required for AT83C24B-PRTUL operation?
The AT83C24B-PRTUL requires a minimum 4 MHz clock input for basic operation; however, the step-up converter mandates ≥7 MHz. For NDS-compliant applications (using the AT83C24NDS variant), the minimum is 18 MHz - but this does not apply to AT83C24B-PRTUL. Always verify clock stability and jitter per Section 5.1 of the AT83C24B-PRTUL datasheet.
Does AT83C24B-PRTUL support 1.8V smart cards?
Yes, AT83C24B-PRTUL supports 1.8V smart cards with ±0.14V tolerance at up to 40 mA. This is configured via VCARD[1:0] bits in CONFIG0 register. The device automatically adjusts CVCC output and enables appropriate level-shifting on CIO/CC4/CC8 - confirmed in Table 20 and Section 3.1 of the AT83C24B-PRTUL datasheet.
How does AT83C24B-PRTUL handle card presence detection?
AT83C24B-PRTUL uses the CPRES pin with programmable polarity (CARDDET bit) and 3-bit filtering (CDS[2:0]) to detect card insertion/extraction. An internal pull-up (controllable via PULLUP bit) or external resistor network can be used. Detection status is reported via INSERT bit in CONFIG0 and optionally signaled on PRES/INT - detailed in Section 8.2 of the AT83C24B-PRTUL datasheet.
Can AT83C24B-PRTUL operate without the DC/DC converter?
Yes, AT83C24B-PRTUL can bypass the step-up converter by setting STEPREG=1 and connecting CVCC directly to an external 3V/5V source. In this regulator mode, LI is tied to VCC and CVCCin is shorted to CVCC. Power efficiency drops slightly, but full TWI, timing, and interface functionality remains - see Table 5 (Mode 2) and Section 6.1 of the AT83C24B-PRTUL datasheet.
What is the purpose of the A2/CK, A1/RST, and A0/3V pins beyond TWI addressing?
On AT83C24B-PRTUL, A2/CK and A1/RST serve dual roles: during transparent mode, they route host CCLK and CRST signals directly to the card; A0/3V selects CVCC voltage class (5V/3V) at power-up. These functions are enabled post-reset and do not interfere with TWI address latching - described in Sections 4.1 and 19 of the AT83C24B-PRTUL datasheet.
