Product details
Overview
SEC1100-A5-02 from SMSC is a single-chip smart card bridge IC integrating full-speed USB 2.0, ISO/IEC 7816 smart card interface, and enhanced 8051 microcontroller. It supports Class A/B/C/AB cards (1.8 V/3.0 V/5.0 V), T=0/T=1 protocols, 826 Kbps ETU rate, 259-byte FIFO, and operates from 3.0–5.5 V supply. It targets USB-based smart card readers requiring EMV 4.2 and PC/SC compliance.
For engineers reviewing the SEC1100-A5-02 datasheet, SEC1100-A5-02 pinout, SEC1100-A5-02 application, or SEC1100-A5-02 equivalent, key selection criteria include its single smart card port, OTP-ROM-based firmware execution, self-clocked 48 MHz oscillator, integrated smart card power regulation (SC1VCC), and USB device controller with five programmable endpoints.
Technical Context
The SEC1100-A5-02 implements a dedicated ISO/IEC 7816 physical layer with hardware-managed cold/warm resets, EMV-compliant guard/time-out/CWT timers, and automatic card deactivation on removal. Its 8051 core runs at up to 16 MHz with 16 KB OTP ROM and 1.5 KB RAM, accessing peripherals via SFR/XDATA space.
USB functionality includes full-speed (12 Mbps) PHY with integrated 1.5 kΩ pull-up resistor, control endpoint buffer (8/16/32/64 B), and five configurable bulk/interrupt endpoints. Smart card power is regulated internally with SC1VCC output, current limiting, and over-current sense interrupt.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar smart card bridge applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SEC1200-CN-02 | Dual smart card ports; adds SPI and UART interfaces; 24-pin QFN package | Supports dual-card readers or hybrid SPI/UART-connected card modules | Select SEC1200-CN-02 only if second smart card interface or SPI/UART bridging is required |
| FTX232HL | USB-to-UART bridge only; no smart card interface, no ISO/IEC 7816 logic, no EMV timers | Limited to UART-based card readers using external smart card controller | FTX232HL requires full external smart card controller implementation and cannot replace SEC1100-A5-02 in USB smart card reader designs |
Compared with SEC1200-CN-02 and FTX232HL, SEC1100-A5-02 uniquely integrates single-port ISO/IEC 7816 + USB 2.0 + EMV timing enforcement in one die-eliminating external protocol logic, reducing PCB area by >40%, and enabling certified USB reader certification without additional timing validation.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for SEC1100-A5-02?
The SEC1100-A5-02 is rated for commercial temperature operation from 0 °C to +70 °C, as specified in the SEC1100-A5-xx ordering nomenclature and validated across all electrical parameters in the data brief. This range applies to the 16-pin QFN package variant and ensures reliable performance in desktop readers and indoor embedded terminals. SEC1100-A5-02 does not support extended or industrial temperature grades.
Does SEC1100-A5-02 support both T=0 and T=1 smart card protocols?
Yes, SEC1100-A5-02 fully supports both T=0 and T=1 protocols per ISO/IEC 7816-3, including hardware-enforced EMV-defined timing parameters (guard time, CWT, BWT), automatic character repetition for T=0 parity recovery, and internal procedure byte filtering. The SEC1100-A5-02 handles protocol negotiation, APDU framing, and half-duplex handshaking without CPU intervention during exchange phases.
Is an external crystal required for SEC1100-A5-02 operation?
No, SEC1100-A5-02 incorporates a self-clocking 48 MHz internal oscillator and requires no external crystal or clock source. This simplifies board layout, reduces BOM count, and improves system-level EMI performance. The oscillator directly drives the USB PHY, 8051 core, and smart card clock generator, with all timing derived from this single source.
What smart card voltage classes does SEC1100-A5-02 support?
SEC1100-A5-02 supports Class A (5.0 V), Class B (3.0 V), Class C (1.8 V), and Class AB (dual-voltage) smart cards via its programmable SC1VCC output. Voltage selection is controlled in firmware, and the internal 4.8 V comparator disables Class A support if VDD falls below 4.8 V-ensuring safe operation and preventing overvoltage damage to lower-voltage cards.
How many USB endpoints does SEC1100-A5-02 provide?
SEC1100-A5-02 provides five programmable USB endpoints in addition to the mandatory control endpoint (Endpoint 0). These include configurable bulk and interrupt endpoints with selectable buffer sizes of 8, 16, 32, or 64 bytes each. This architecture enables efficient APDU transfer, status reporting, and vendor-specific command handling in USB smart card reader implementations using SEC1100-A5-02.
