Product details
Overview
TDA8026ET/C2,518 from NXP Semiconductors is a smart card interface IC designed for multi-slot Point-of-Sale (POS) terminals. It supports up to two synchronous/asynchronous main cards and four Security Access Modules (SAMs), delivers 5 V / 3 V / 1.8 V regulated card supply voltages with ±5 % accuracy, features I²C-bus control (100 kHz / 400 kHz), and integrates thermal/short-circuit protection on all five card slots.
For engineers reviewing the TDA8026ET/C2,518 datasheet, TDA8026ET/C2,518 pinout, TDA8026ET/C2,518 application, or TDA8026ET/C2,518 equivalent, this device serves as a cost-optimized, EMV 4.31–compliant analog interface with programmable power reduction, embedded deactivation sequencing, and 6 kV ESD protection on card-side I/O lines.
Technical Context
The TDA8026ET/C2,518 implements an integrated DC-to-DC converter generating VCC(1)–VCC(5) at 5 V / 3 V / 1.8 V ±5 %, supporting up to 55 mA per slot (116 mA typical total). Its dual-clock architecture accepts CLKIN1 for slot 1 and CLKIN2 for slots 2–5, enabling independent clock generation up to 20 MHz with programmable division (÷1, ÷2, ÷4, ÷5).
It uses a two-tier I²C addressing scheme (A0-configurable base address) to access Bank 0 (slot selection/interrupt status) and Bank 1 (per-slot registers), with dedicated RST(n), CLK(n), and I/O(n) buffers per slot, plus auxiliary I/OUC1/I/OUC2 transparent paths and IRQN/INTAUXN interrupt signaling referenced to VDD(INTF).

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar smart card interface applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SLB9670TT10FW | Trusted Platform Module (TPM) with integrated smart card controller; lacks multi-slot analog interface, DC-to-DC, or card presence detection | Designed for host-system root-of-trust, not direct card slot interfacing | Select only if system-level security (not card interface) is the primary requirement |
| TDA8029ET/C2 | Successor IC with identical pinout, enhanced ESD (8 kV), extended temperature range (−40 °C to +105 °C), and improved DC-to-DC efficiency | Drop-in replacement for new designs requiring higher reliability in industrial environments | Prefer TDA8029ET/C2 for new designs; TDA8026ET/C2,518 remains valid for legacy POS hardware maintenance |
Compared with SLB9670TT10FW, the TDA8026ET/C2,518 delivers dedicated analog smart card interfacing with five-slot power management, whereas the SLB9670 is a digital security co-processor. Compared with TDA8029ET/C2, the TDA8026ET/C2,518 offers proven field reliability in certified EMV terminals but lacks extended temperature and ESD specs.

FAQ
What is the maximum number of smart cards the TDA8026ET/C2,518 can manage simultaneously?
The TDA8026ET/C2,518 supports up to two main smart cards (synchronous or asynchronous) and up to four Security Access Modules (SAMs) concurrently. While it provides five independent VCC/RST/CLK/I/O channels (slots 1–5), its functional architecture designates slots 1–2 for primary card use and slots 3–5 for SAM-only operation, as confirmed in the General Description and Block Diagram sections of the datasheet.
Does the TDA8026ET/C2,518 support 1.8 V smart cards?
Yes, the TDA8026ET/C2,518 supports 1.8 V smart cards. Its integrated DC-to-DC converter delivers regulated VCC(n) outputs at 5 V, 3 V, or 1.8 V ±5 %, with dedicated current limiting and ripple control per slot. The datasheet specifies 1.71–1.89 V output range for 1.8 V cards at ≤35 mA DC load, meeting ISO 7816-3 low-voltage card requirements.
How does the TDA8026ET/C2,518 handle card insertion and removal events?
The TDA8026ET/C2,518 uses dedicated PRES(1) and PRES(2) inputs with built-in 17.8 ms (typical) debouncing to detect card presence on slots 1 and 2. Upon insertion or removal, it asserts the active-low IRQN interrupt to the host microcontroller. In shutdown mode, only PRES(1) remains active, enabling wake-up capability while consuming just 25 µA.
What I²C-bus speeds does the TDA8026ET/C2,518 support?
The TDA8026ET/C2,518 supports both Standard mode (100 kHz) and Fast mode (400 kHz) I²C-bus communication. Its I²C interface operates as a slave device with configurable base addresses (48h/4Ch via A0 pin), and includes integrated pull-up resistors on SDA/SCL referenced to VDD(INTF), as specified in Section 8.4 of the datasheet.
Is the TDA8026ET/C2,518 pin-compatible with the TDA8029ET/C2?
Yes, the TDA8026ET/C2,518 is pin-compatible with the TDA8029ET/C2. Both devices use the TFBGA64 (SOT1073-1) package with identical ball map and electrical pin functions. The TDA8029ET/C2 adds enhanced ESD protection (8 kV vs. 6 kV) and extended temperature range but maintains full mechanical and logical compatibility for drop-in replacement in existing designs.
