STEVAL-IPT006V1

Smart card interface evaluation board based on the ST8034AT

Data brief

Features

•

Smartcard connector for testing with a

smartcard

•

Labeled testpoints provide accessibility to all

the signals

•

Board design allows standalone operation

for basic tests

•

Interface to an MCU block and simple board

configurability allow full functioning in

applications (i.e. set-top box)

•

Onboard 10 MHz crystal clock oscillator can

be used to provide card clock in standalone

operation

•

Card clock source selection switch allows

selection between the onboard crystal

oscillator as card clock source, or an

external clock source provided by the

microcontroller block through the MCU

interface together with the data signals

•

Provides easy, flexible card supply voltage

selection either by onboard configuration

switches or remotely by the microcontroller

•

RoHS compliant

Description

The ST8034xx interface devices are placed

between the smartcard and the microcontroller to

provide all supply, protection, detection and

control functions, with a minimum of external

components. The STEVAL-IPT006V1 product

evaluation board allows easy demonstration and

testing of these features. The board can also be

used as a functional block for a complete

application, as it is designed both for standalone

operation or to be controlled by the

microcontroller. The board is fully configurable to

maintain flexibility for various use scenarios. It

includes standard interfaces on both sides

(smartcard connector, MCU interface connector)

and easily accessed, labeled testpoints on all

signals.

The STEVAL-IPT006V1 product evaluation board

addresses market segments including: POS, set-

top boxes, pay TV, identification, banking and

tachographs.
